The Resolution Broken

On Sunday evening I officially broke my resolution (fitting since the children's moment I gave at church that morning was about how we can't keep commitments). We wanted large rubbermaid bins to contain our Christmas decorations so they'd be safe in our dank basement until next November (or when we move out of our apartment).

I didn't think these could be found at any place more local than Meijer...and earlier in the week Maggie learned that Meijer is a part of Local First (http://www.localfirst.com/) which made me break down. We got our plastic bins, cat litter, and a few grocery items that couldn't be found at Kingma's.

I'm still opposed to the massive parking lot and massive development around Knapp Corner that is clearly built for cars and not for people. We typically try to park nearest the entrance/exit of the parking lot when visiting such places in order to a) save on gas and b) get some exercise.
