    Oh man. And here I thought not using disposable cups would be easy. Keep forgetting to tote my mug around....and then there are those emergency diet-coke runs thru the fast-food joints....Here's hoping the next 2 days I'll remember!

      the way I stay away from the disposable cups is find a cup that I like that really catches my attention and I keep it with me or in my area of sight

    My, a 5" shower (water on, water off, water on) is....doable, but not all that much fun in the AM. Brrr. Gotta add a bucket to capture grey water.
