Labels

I read somewhere that blog labels should be kept to a minimum. So, I had narrowed my labels down to Family and Friends, Garden, Just Because, Photos, Reviews and Recipes, Travel, and Volunteer and Diversity. I think those are good main labels for what I mostly write about here, however I have found that I miss having the smaller narrow it down labels. Plus this blog is turining into sort of a timeline journal of sorts for me. I have found myslef coming back to reference old posts when I am trying to remember what I did and when. Anyways, this just means I am going ot update my blog to add or re-add  some of those narrow down labels.

Daily Blogging...

Blogging daily is something I am trying to do this year too. I have found that it takes true dedication to do. You have to really take and make the time for it otherwise it is not going to happen. Kudos to those who can keep up with blogging. Anyways hopefully I can keep up with it.

Plastic bags...

Although I am making a point to carry at least one reusable bag wherever I go, I still find myself getting too many plastic bags. Even on volunteer events we get plastic goody bags. I wish I was crafty enough to re-purpose them, but I would just end up accumulating more than I would ever need and then get bored with whatever I attempted to make with them. So I'll just continue using the small/medium ones as small trash can liners and the bigger ones to put items that need to head to the Goodwill. And really, I should just use reusable bags instead of "trying" to use reusable bags.

Check out this photo of a dress made with plastic bags by an artist at the Roosevelt Row Harvest Festival 208. It's a bit fuzzy 'cause I took it really quick as I did not know if photos were or not allowed.

A Volunteering Bonus

A bonus to yesterday's volunteer event was getting a goody bag with coupons, samples, water tattoos, etc..

 

1 of 12 : P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon & 1/2 Marathon 2010

One down and eleven to go. This year, aside from being less hoardy, one of my goals is to volunteer at least 12 times. So hurray one down. Today I woke up at 3:15ish am to get to the water station our company would be manning for the P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon & Half Marathon 2010 by 5 am located at 7th Ave and Pierson. We were about 100 volunteers. We set up tables with cups of water to then give to the runners as they passed by while cheering them on. It was much colder than in 2008, but so worth it. The runners were very excited when they ran by our water station thanking us for being there, the water, and cheering them on. I didn't take my camera, so hopefully later I can get a copy of the group photos another volunteer took. If I do I'll post it later.

Other things I like to do

Other things I like to do is go to diversity type events. From the music, food, culture, traditions, etc., there's always something new to learn.
