Oh, happy day!

It's the little things in life that make my day.  Like, saving the planet.  
You see, we do most of our grocery shopping at Target.  They have a decent grocery department and if we need say, a pillow or luggage, they have those things, too.  This has, until Thursday, filled us with guilt and despair, as every single shopping trip results in a minimum of 5 earth-unfriendly plastic bags.  The Target cashiers, mostly high school kids, don't know how to pack and as a result, we have oodles and oodles of extra bags floating around our house.  I'd always felt weird about taking our re-useable Giant bags into the store (didn't want to be tracked through the store via security cams as a potential shoplifter) so dealt with the plastic onslaught until... lo and behold!!!:  Target "green" bags (they're actually red)!!!  Woo Hoo!  Now we can bring official Target re-useable bags into the store, load them up, and bring them home without the extra plastic!  We both just stood there in the aisle, looking at them, and saying, "Oh, my God!  Are these what we think they are??"  It was a happy day!

Oh, yeah... Happy New Year!
