But then I have to touch them with my hands. And then anything else I touch with my hands until I can get to the sink is contaminated. And then do you get a new plastic bag every day, or do you just carry a bag of germs around in your gym bag all the time? I think I'd rather just risk having germs on the bottoms of my feet. Do you also not walk around barefoot outdoors? I don't really see the difference. 

I'm not truly that invested in it. I walk around barefoot nowhere, even in my house. I'm scurrrred I'll step on something sharp, get tetanus & die.

LOL I like to be barefoot whenever possible. Agree to disagree.

I am also hairy. DH always tells me it's "fine". No dude, it is NOT fine and you need to help me make sure I know when it's time to wax/pluck again!

Confession: I have only worn leggings or yoga pants since my appendectomy on 3/3. I could probably wear real pants but I don't want to. I will milk this excuse as long as possible.

Is it really any better to wear flip flops and then take of my germ infested flip flops and stick them back in my gym bag every day? And then pack clean clothes in there with them the next day? I figure the germs are going to find me regardless.


ETA: I'll totally admit I should be more concerned than I am about fungus/athlete's foot. But if we're just talking about germs, I really give no shits.

But you already carry around flip flops, right? Are they brand new?

They actually are. But even if they weren't I would still just shove them in my gym bag when I took them off. My point was that I'm not scared of germs whether they come from my flip flops or from my feet.

Yesterday my husband bought me a razor. I hadn't asked or mentioned it...I guess that's his way of letting me know I'm getting too hairy.

Like you don't recycle anything?

Oh man, I have strong feelings about landfills and this hurts my heart.

I bought MHs bday gift a month early, because it was $100 off. I countered it by promptly buying $100 worth of shoes. Plus, my bday is next week.

And I've been using that excuse all month. Whoops!

So I just put away the last bits of our Christmas presents. And there was a Christmas ornament in there and the Christmas bin is already out in the barn and H found me desperately looking for a place to stash it.

P. S. Christmas was so long ago that autocorrect won't even correct my Christmas typos. It's thinking I couldn't possibly be talking about Christmas right now, but oh I am. But I am on my own to spell it correctly.

I still have a few ornaments on a counter that never made it to the ornament box. They will likely be there until we move this summer.

+1 to the paper plates, I do have a recycling bin, but I don't use it!

My coworkers don't usually recycle in the lab, even though we have a large recycle bin for plastics and can put cardboard out in the hallway for recycling pick up.

I've been known to dig through the garbage can in front of them to pull out recyclables. I like to think that I'm shaming them into recycling more in the future, but they continue to throw everything in the garbage so apparently they just don't care.

[easilyunamused]

I completely side eye anyone who doesn't recycle at this point. With all of the information we have about the benefits for, you know the Earth, I thinks it's very irresponsible as someone who uses the earths resources to not do what they can to protect it.

That's very true. I do recycle at work. I need to just buy an extra trash can and do it at home too.

We have bi-weekly curbside recycling pickup here. It's so easy.

I just saw that a local elementary school had the kids carry around their trash for a week. Sitting in a classroom full of everyone's trash sounds gross but it does sound effective in making kids more aware of how much they throw away.
