Early morning conversation:
Me: Oh, by the way, we're leaving early on Friday. I'm taking the kids down to Casa de Fruta.
Husband: Why?
Me: They have some kind of history workshop. Something to do with the Renaissance Faire.
Husband: That's not very good.
Me: What?
Husband: Taking the kids around to all those places. That's not very green.
Me: That's true. (pause) What's your point?
Husband: You're not very green.
Me: Hell, honey, I know that.
Here's how not green I am lately:
Tuesday: guitar class, library, and mall in Santa Clara; Whole Foods and park in Campbell
Wednesday: piano lessons in Almaden, chorus and errands in Willow Glen
Thursday: guitar class in Santa Clara, electronics class in Palo Alto
Friday: history workshop at Renaissance Faire in Gilroy
Saturday: guitar class in Santa Clara
Sunday: Scharffen Berger plant in Berkeley (to see my dad)
Monday: STAY HOME!!!! ALL DAY!!!! To hell with grocery shopping, even.
P.S. Thank you guys. It turns out that one phone call and one e-mail are all I need to get my energy back. It's amazing.

Green or not, I'd love to go to Renaissance Faire this year.
"Its not good for the environment" is my new excuse for not doing errands.
It rings a little hollow when I say it but, fortunately, I'm the only one listening.
But look at what your doing and where your going!
What really bothers me are people who drive to school to pick up their kids- they live close enough to skip to school, yet they drive-- then they sit in the pick up line, for 20 minutes with the engine running. Now that is not green.
