I want a round room at the end of the day

Obviously not my photo, but
how cool are these things?

There is so much going on in the world. I have so much to write about, just not enough time in the day to do it. Thankfully, I got to work early today and although these next posts may be short, they will be packed with curiosities, hilarity, and may even shock you. This post is going to be about Free Spirit Spheres in British Columbia (aka the greatest place on earth in my book). I'm not sure I would enjoy spending the night in one, but I could name at least ten people I know that would. They sound a little scary to me because of the suspension, but seeing out into the forest from "a nutshell that's decorated like a palace" sounds totally awesome! It also makes me think of the nutshell quote from Austin Powers, which always makes me giggle. "That's you in a nutshell!"/"No, this is me in a nutshell. Help! I'm in a nutshell! How did I get into this nutshell? Look at the size of this bloody great big nutshell. What sort of shell has a nut like this? This is crazy!" It gets me every time, but...back to the sphere. They are handcrafted and I am sure staying in one for any number of nights would make for quite the memorable adventure! Click here to read more and make your reservation.

recycling and saving and snacking

Today's posts are product-heavy. Who is in the mood to shop? I am. I am making a valiant effort to only buy things when I need them and invest in higher quality products vs. low price. (I also cannot focus on work today, but that is probably apparent.) Enter these amazing snack containers. However, I did not purchase mine, so I am not sure where the rant about shopping came from. Oh yes, I think you should either go out and buy one of these containers today or the candle from the last post. Yay shopping! Like the candle, this container was one of the greatest gifts I have ever received. It came from my parents and I use it every day and don't plan on stopping any time soon. I just crunched numbers and I have saved close to twenty Ziploc bags because of this handy dandy little container since January. I thought I was doing Momma Earth a favor by reusing my Ziplocs for a week - not so much. The container is light-weight and seals pretty tightly. I can pack my pretzels or pirate booty the night before and everything is still fresh the next day for my mid-morning snack time (11:00 a.m.). I will admit that I packed it with booty last Friday and must not have had time for a snack that day (the horror!)and I ended up eating it this Tuesday and although it wasn't stale, it wasn't quite as fresh as a when I pack it the night before. I love the color too - I have the blue one.
