Anyway, now a segment I like to call, My Weekend.  
When I got home from work on Friday, the boyfriend surprised me with a gift. (I guess he’s playing the Green Week Challenges too…)
A new NorthFace daypack!
AND, it’s eco-friendly! The label says to.
Yup, I’m sportin’ the new gear. And according to the backpack’s label, the Eco-Friendly Hang Tag Program has their tags made with 100% post consumer recycled paper and printed with soy based ink.
Stats include:
4,068 Trees saved
756,902 Gallons of water saved
3,476 energy units saved
North Face, thank you for doing your part!
And Sunday I got to use my new backpack!
Have I ever mentioned there is amazing hiking in the South Bay area of California?
No? Well, there is!
Boyfriend at the top of a repelling rock… people were actually out there rock climbing!
It was pretty cool… I’m going to need to try that some day!
Lazy boy.
This weekend, we also found a really cool bug that I just had to post.
We saved it and returned it to Mother Earth.
Super metallic and shiny. The pictures do it no justice!
Well, that was my weekend, in a nutshell… Eats will be posted later…
Mmmmm. Mmmmm.
Can we say, ‘Basil Kreme Fig Moon Pie‘?
