Suburban free fall


It was innocent enough, I swear.

A rainy morning and a eco-husband who says, "Where's the umbrella? I'm going to take the bus," and you've got yourself a simple temptation to take the car two blocks to your daughter's swimming practice. So that's exactly what I did.

And so what if after practice I run to the bank. And then there's the traffic jam and my stomach reminds me about lunch. What's one McDonald's drive-threw in the grand scheme of things? And Target shopping?

Wait... Regain senses. Go home and make a delicious lunch of homemade chicken nuggets from the leftover tenderloins on the cutlets. Make a salad. But what a reminder of how easy it is to slip back into easy.

Save money. Save my waistline. Save the environment.
