On the radio the other day I heard a commercial with a slogan "Be the Pig". At breakfast consisting of Bacon and Eggs the Chicken is involved but the pig is committed. I seemed to have sturred up the Hens with my remarks about High Fructose Corn Syrup, reusable bags at walmart and random "Go Green acts, point is that all of those things are fine and dandy but without commitment to carry them through I see them as pointless. Commit if your going to use the reusable bags, great but be dadgum committed to taking to Walmart and not using the plastic ones if thats your choice. If HFCS is your commitment then, be committed and make the choice on an educated basis and not the popular choice and truly figure out when and why your consumming the ingredients. These are two of a multitude of examples I could have chosen, Ya I chose these because they stir everybody up, which was also my intention sorry if you took offense and don't know me. I just get fed up with everybody talking about going "Green" and never commiting to any single act that they stick with. I like to think that if I choose to do one or any of the "Green" acts I would take example from the PIG. Sure this whole discussion leaves me open to be a hipocrit, So what. Meghann thinks I take everything to the extreme she accussed me of that in her most recent moment of frustration, to that I say thanks I'll be the Pig. I only ask that if your going to challenge yourself or decide to cut or add something, small or big be the Pig.
So I ask what kind of Pig are you? What are you committed to for this season and do you have sound reason or popular reason. I think both are fine but dadgum have a reason. Committments fade and that not always a bad thing so whats your season and what kind of nonsesical commitments are driving you nuts?

Here is a non controversial committment- teaching our kids a healthy attitude towards exercise and not being couch potatoes. It is so easy to turn on the tv and just plop in front of it at the end of a long day but we try real hard not to. As part of the committment I don't turn on the tv during the day (even when C. is at school). The other part is doing something with the extra time not being wasted on the tv- so we go outside, walk to the park, ride bikes, talk to the neighbors. All this said were still working on it and I do like some of those shows (the Office premeire is on tonight I'm so excited!)
BTW its not such a suprise that you want to be the pig- must be all those years of me calling you one! ;) love you
