Nanny Goats in Panties Rotating Header Image

Hi Jim, Nice To Meet You. Uh, What’s Your Name Again?

Mr MudPuppy and I hit Starbucks almost every night. I mean, why stand in an epic line of impatient commuters shaky from withdrawal during the morning rush hour when you can save all kinds of time getting that caffeine buzz just before you go to bed?

Since we contribute to the national landfill with those daily cups, I started thinking, why not save those little cup sleeves and bring them in for reuse with our nightly jolt? And because we are so forgetful in our middle-age, we leave them right by the door. Like this…

And here we are a week later…

So now we wear them on our wrists. Like Wonder Woman. Deflecting the bullets shot by hovering tree huggers for not living environmentally friendly. They also hang around waiting to antagonize us after we’ve sailed past the the green reusable grocery bags that we keep on top of the garbage can, next to the garage door.

You know, so we won’t forget them…

    Thank you for the shout out Margaret.:) I am a coffee freak, and I used to love collecting the brown paper bags from Barista Coffee(a chain of Coffee shops in India). As soon as I used to get back home, I used to dump those bags under my mattress. I became so famous (nothing to be proud of)among my colleagues that when they used to think of brown bags, they used to think of me. Thankfully, I have got rid of this habit now.Ha!
    Starbucks’ is yet to open it’s outlets in India.

    Hee.. I have those grocery bags too. It is amazing how something that is supposed to be good for the environment requires ANOTHER purchase…and makes you feel GUILTY on top of it.

    My Dearest Crotchety Old Man Who Yells at Cars,
    Please see salutation to this comment to immediately understand my opinion on the matter to which you refer. Pay most particular attention to the key word “dearest”. It implies something along the lines of an adamant approval.

    Hey, it’s the thought that counts right? And you’re making a fashion statement. Double cool. Lurving the goats by the way.

    Yo, Nanny Goats, put the dang grocery bags and coffee sleeves in your CAR! Passenger seat! That’s what I do. NOW.

    I keep forgetting them when I go to Trader Joes and Costco so I buy new ones. Trader Joes keeps making new cool ones and I have quite a variety of colorful bags. They’re very handy for everything.

    Too funny! I might have to go to starbucks so I can be wonderwoman too!
    And thanks for the comment at my blog. Sometimes I just need to hear it from someone else : )

    That cracks me up because that is totally something I would do. The thought of being eco-friendly at least counts for something, doesn’t it?

    when the starbucks first opened here they had the little sleeves for the cups, but they didn’t just automatically hand them out. i wanted one once and tried to come up with what they might call it in turkish. i went with just trying to describe what i was talking about with my fabulous turkish ability. the young guy behind the counter said…sleeve? um…yeah…one of those.

    I like to take my reuseable shopping bags on drives around town. Never actually into the store, though. I mean, really – what’s the point of getting old if you can’t hoard a bunch of stuff that you’re going to use “someday?”
