Correction
I am a week ahead of myself. We are opening today 2/23/2008. I just looked at the blog and saw that I had posted our opening as 3/1/2008. Sorry about that! My wife has me working so hard that I get confused some times. Old Age!! As a matter of fact she is telling me to hurry up at this moment.

Opening Saturday 3/1/2008
ely's to go... officially opens this Saturday. We passed all inspections today and had a local TV station come out and interview us for our opening. They were there for several hours and we got about a minute and fifteeen second spot on the six oclock news. Not complaining though since all exposure is good. It will be good to be working again finally. We'll keep you all posted on our progress. I'm sure you will all want to open an ely's in your town or city.

climate change
so since we're talking about the new year....i think the environment and climate change is the most important issue right now. i'd love to hear how all of you are contributing to conserving energy, now and throughout the year. here's what heath and i are doing:
- only public transportation, we don't own a car
- we just bought energy efficient & smaller appliances for our kitchen
- we stopped buying bottled water and have switched to tap water
- i don't eat any meat!!!! which is the largest cause of global warming, more than transportation! and heath has cut down significantly
- we try to eat local/organic produce whenever available
- we recycle
- we reuse what we can
- we only use natural, biodegradable cleaners
- most of my cosmetics are natural and synthetic-free...i'm working on all of them
- we switched to wind energy through our electric company
- we turn off lights when we leave the room
- we bring our own grocery bags to the store
these are just some things i can think of off the top of my head....i will definitely be adding to this list. can't wait to hear what everyone else is doing!
here is a link to a startling, but very important video:

ainsi puisque nous parlons de la nouvelle année....i pensent que le changement d'environnement et de climat est le juste le plus important d'issue maintenant que j'aimerais entendre comment tout le vous contribue à l'énergie de conservation, maintenant et tout au long de l'année ici soit ce que la bruyère et moi font : - seulement transport public, nous ne possédons pas une voiture - nous avons juste acheté les appareils efficaces et plus petits d'énergie pour notre cuisine - nous avons arrêté l'eau mis en bouteille par achats et avons commuté à l'eau du robinet - je ne mange d'aucune viande ! ! ! ! ce qui est la plus grande cause du chauffage global, plus que le transport ! et la bruyère a réduit sensiblement - nous essayons de manger du produit de local/organic toutes les fois que disponibles - nous réutilisons - nous réutilisons ce que nous pouvons - nous employons seulement les décapants normaux et biodégradables - la plupart de mes produits de beauté sont normales et synthétique-libre... je travaille à tous - nous avons commuté à l'énergie éolienne par notre compagnie électrique - nous arrêtons des lumières quand nous partons de la salle - nous apportons nos propres sacs d'épicerie au magasin ce sont justes quelques choses que je peux penser à outre du dessus de mon....i principal m'ajouterai certainement à cette liste ne peux pas attendre pour entendre ce que chacun autrement fait !
voici un lien à effrayer, mais la vidéo très importante : http://youtube.com/watch?v=FDbtu_m_V1o

It's Official
Well its official, today we hung the signs for our new venture. For those of you who cast your vote, I hope you like our choice. I will post better pictures as we progress. We anticipate opening in about 10 days but that could change. Ely is making me work and I am exploiting her name as you can plainly see.
