Groceries! Most of you probably view this as just another to-do that gets checked off the proverbial list once, or twice, a week. If you're like me, you're a nerd of some kind, and actually enjoy perusing the aisles, gathering your edible merchandise and checking off your list...okay, let's be honest. I don't use a list.

One thing that I have vowed to do, at least two or three different times, was to purchase and actually USE cloth grocery bags for my store ventures. I own several of them, and love to use them for everything...everything, that is, EXCEPT groceries! It would seem that they somehow escape my grocery store routine every time, and it has grown rather irritating. I have finally decided to keep at least one with me at all times, in case I make an 'emergency store run', or purchase something else on a whim. Then I have my handy cloth bag already with me, and I can save an eighth of a tree, or something like that.

This past week, I made another wonderful trip to my local grocer, and low and behold, I forgot all my bags again, save the one that I now keep on my person. I used it, thank-you-very-much, and was proud...except for the fact that the rest of my groceries went into annoying, flimsy, plastic bags...

I will conquer this yet! Stay tuned for an overly-brilliant solution to remembering your cloth grocery bags. In the meantime, try using them around your house, instead of plastic or paper. They are quite handy.
