Are you like me?

Do you sometimes succumb to the temptation to buy that convenient "box-o-greens" rather than creating your own salad from scratch? (I want more than one kind of greens in my salad, and I can't eat up two heads of anything except butter lettuce before it starts to go limp and brown-edged on me. So I tell myself that buying a box of lettuce is better than throwing out half a head of romaine a week.) And having finished the vitamin rich verdure within, have you, too gazed at that crystal clear box and said, "I oughtta be able to do something with this."


Yarn storage! For those itsy bitsy odds and sodds and 15yards of the end of the ball that you just can't bear to throw out, any more than you can bear to throw away those perfectly good clear plastic boxes. (Or the cottage cheese containers, but that's another issue all together.) These boxes stack, make all your yarns visible, and are not only free, but give you that marvelous glow of righteousness because you are - recycling. Run out and buy boxes of salad. It's a good thing!

Meanwhile, for those of us poetically inclined (Limericks count as poetry, too!)check out submissions@haikuverymuch.com You can even get on the mailing list for weekly challenges. This might be a fun challenge for everyone who has been saying, "I really ought to write more." Seventeen sylables a week is a nice, easy way to edge into it.
