Presents!

As some of you may have seen on my Facebook status I was lucky enough to win TWO online prize contests for free items just for commenting on blogs! YAY ME!

So here's a look at what I've won:

100% Organic Carapelli EVOO from Live Green Mom who blogs about everything from green and organic products to basic ways to make our lives more sustainable.  Check out her blog here:

Live Green Mom Badge

Thanks Helga!  I can't wait to try this recipe for Artichoke Hummus from Carapelli's website with my EVOO!

I was also lucky enough to win one of Little Pink Book PR's Blog-aversary prizes!  Congratulations again to Sasha who's Little Pink Book has grown to greatness over the past 2 years. 

She gifted me with these FABULOUS Ecotools makeup brushes and I cannot believe I was using crummy plastic brushes.  These feature bamboo handles, recycled aluminum with taklon brushes (I had to look up what Taklon was too).  While I'm not sure taklon is really an eco friendly choice it has definitely created the softest and most amazing makeup brushes I've used and I'm completely sold.  I guess now I have an excuse to do my make-up more often!

So it seems I was a super lucky girl in May.  New job, free gifts, let's hope June is just as kind to me!

Vermicomposting

Vermicomposting is exactly what is sounds like: composting with vermis, which is the Latin for worms.   I first became acquainted with vermicomposting when I started at Grow Food, Grow Hope in November 2009.  One of my coworkers was attempting to vermicompost in a container he kept in his desk and usually the 1st thing he said to you after "hello" was "want to see my worms?"  However, the worms jumped ship, were all over the office, and then were banned permanently.   Since that day I had a small adventure into composting with worms.  In my ignorance in the nature of compost I assumed that worms were always necessary for compost and therefore dug up worms from the backyard to add to my porch compost bin (an 18-gallon Rubbermaid tub I drilled holes in and added my food scraps to).  These worms of course were never seen again as they were cooked in my compost bin.   And then the research began.    Now tha...

FINALLY

After more time than I ever intended on dedicated to creating the list, blog, and ticker that has accompanied this 101 in 1001 I am finally finished. As you have seen, the bolded items are the categories, and the items that are NOT pink (in this case I believe we'll let them all be purple, because its a nice match, are the items that are finished. Today's one and only item (and the motivation for FINALLY getting this up) is Emma, a great book. I watched the movie with Megan before leaving for France so I knew what was going to happen. Now I'm sitting here dreaming of my own Mr. Knightley, but where I will find him I have no idea. Let me know if you find any men as perfect, graceful, handsome, and amazing as Mr. Knightley for me.
