I’m looking to invest in a couple of these. They’re just slightly more expensive than Nalgene bottles, without the leeching. Though I will still use the Nalgenes for a while, I’d like to eventually get away from using them all together.

Plastics = Not Good For The Environment

I know. I’m such a tree hugger.

These sorts of decisions take place when you’re surrounded by environmentally-conscious scientists (the hubby, Rachel, Brooke). And my cousin, Jennifer, is a great inspiration when it comes to these things, too. And, honestly, I’m down with helping out ol’ Mother Earth.

I am winding down here–three weeks from today, I’ll be back in MI. It’s kind of bittersweet. I’m looking forwad to getting some major projects accomplished when I get back (working on Cellar Roots for this year [ginormous undertaking, but one I'm excited about], getting caught up at the Journal, and just plain preparing for school to start) and spending some quality time with the hubby, but at the same time, I love MN and all that it brings with it–wonderful family and friends, and an environment I am happy to call home.

Soon enough, we will be able to call it home again, but, for now, we can wait in quiet anticipation for another year to pass while in MI. Not sure if we’re going to be at the same residence (with gas prices rising, we’re wanting to move closer to Nate’s place of employment, which is currently 40+ min. from our apt.), but again, all an adventure. I just can’t believe this adventure is coming to a close so soon.

More details on the internship to come, especially once I get all my work for my summer class underway.
