Will write for money

I know LabKat had to swallow her political pride when she took a job that goes against her political leanings. Now, I'm writing a story about how to reduce your carbon footprint and now I know how LabKat feels.

I just keep hearing the Imperial Death March.

I'm a bit of a dork when it comes to the environment. I do lots more than most of my friends when it comes to reducing, re-using and recycling. So, no one can accuse me of not caring. We do. It is just that I think some of the global warming stuff is a little over the top and I don't think all the figures being thrown around really are facts. However, this story should be fun to write. It just made me groan a bit when I got the assignment.

And another from the "511 Things Only Women Understand":
Why you need your own:
a) bank account
b) credit card
c) bathroom
d) closet
e) all of the above.

This can start all sorts of discussions here. Yet another area of life where I straddle the fence. I think all those things are important for a woman to have. However, I also believe firmly that a marriage is based on trust and partnership and we have all those things together. I do have my own bank account and one credit card that are for my business. I probably wouldn't have them otherwise and if I were in any doubt about my marriage, I would have them separately. But, fortunately, I'm married to a pretty swell guy (even if he thinks I'm as Type A as he is and if he accuses me of being prissy), so I feel pretty secure.
