One thing this hippy can't live without.

There's a lot of things that this hippy will gladly give up. I will divide food into single servings myself, rather than buying prepackaged snack, because it saves on packaging. I gladly gave up using pads or tampons in favor of my Diva Cup.

I'm in the process of learning to totally give up potato chips in favor of healthier options like multigrain crackers. I'm actually looking forward to getting organized enough that I can give up fast food. I happily gave up soda for flavored seltzer.

But there's one thing that I cannot live without and that is technology. I have been having a serious difficulty handling not having a laptop and I have finally gotten a new one! We broke down and bought a new Toshiba Satellite and I love it.

So get used to having regular doses of your Favorite Hippy. The only problem now is that since our router died, my laptop is the only computer that can access the internet. Which means trying to work out all the bugs of sharing it with my husband.
