I’ve been hearing that this is Earth week, a time when there are events that call attention to the environmental crises that we are in.  I hope that enough people start to pay attention and start to become part of the solution instead of part of the problem.  I’ve started trying to cut down on my own carbon footprint; I’ve been buying CFL lights, and unplugging appliances that aren’t in use.  I’ve also been trying to cut back on extra car trips into town “just because.”  I try to make sure there is a really good reason to be driving anywhere and I try to combine errands into each trip.

I got my taxes out last Tuesday morning; I’m glad to find out that I’ll be getting a hefty refund from both the federal and state government!  I’m going to have it direct deposited right into my checking account so that I can get the refund sooner.  I think I’m going to put the refund checks towards paying off a credit card or two.  That will be a big help to bring down the monthly payment obligations!

Tonight we are going to eat out at the Golden Corral.  We are celebrating my sister’s wedding anniversary, so we are joining several other family members there.  I like the Golden Corral; it is an all you can eat buffet with the best tasting yeast rolls I’ve ever tasted in my life!  I sneak a zipper storage bag into my oversized purse that I bring just so I can bring the leftover yeast rolls home to eat later!  They are the best!  And I really like their mashed potatoes and their macaroni and cheese, too.  Oh, and I love hush puppies!  I’d really like to eat there EVERY DAY!  Their salad bar and dessert bar is terrific, I like to eat a little taste of everything!
