You should have seen the mortified look on the Cashier's face the other night when I said I didn't want her to wrap the wet radishes in plastic prior to putting them in my tote. She said "I am sure you have your reasons" and was totally thrown off for the rest of our transaction.

Great post, Beth! Especially this time of year, it's important to focus on the people in your life and let some of the plastic slide. Besides, all those New Year's resolutions will turn us back into petro-nazis soon enough!
