Go green

A couple of weeks ago mom sent me an email saying she thought it was a good idea to start recycling and composting.  WHAT?!  Holy shit! I was totally excited, then thought maybe she was fucking with me...  "mom are you serious?  If you are then let's do this shit!"  She was serious, thanks urbangardensolutions.com.  So that weekend we got online, found some cool ass recycling bins and started researching composters.  The recycling is a piece of cake; finish, rinse, recycle, bam you're done.  This composting thing is a bit trickier but I think we're making head way.  We took Rowen on his "special day out with grandma and aunt tiff" to Sam's, lucky kid, and we came across two composters.  One was 100 bucks and HUGE, maybe a bit too much for us, the other was $40 and perfect for the backyard. "So should I go ahead and put this one in the cart mom?"  Typical mom said, "I think I'll come back for it, I want to read about it some more." Oh for christ's (I'm showing ownership that's why there's a 's) sake.  Then she turned around and said, let's just get it.  YES!!!!  So excited, so excited! Happy happy dance. I pick up the box, wow it's a little heavy but nothing these guns can't handle, and the fucking bottom falls out, hits the floor with a loud crash.  My goodness, that's not the one we want as my face flushed bright red from causing attention.  I gently push the cardboard box back around it's inhabitants and grabbed another one, let's go mom.

I'm hoping today I can set it up and start reading the instructions, I'm a lesbian that reads instructions; if you want it done right, do it yourself AND read the instructions.
Wish us luck!  Go green.
