Buy Nothing Challenge 2009

I am joining The Crunchy Chicken in the Buy Nothing Challenge for August 2009. My husband's in on it too. Can't say that I'll get a good response from my 14-year old daughter. I'll let you know at the end. Wish me luck.

Well, since there's 2 weeks until my son's graduation party, I have to get this place a little spiffed up. So I am going to paint my hallway. My husband usually does all this stuff and is really particular about putting Spackle on all the cracks and such. So needless to say he'll be surprised to find it all finished. I will do the spackle thing but probably not as well as he does. Oh well. It's now or never. Bleck. I hate painting !

bummer

The place that takes the #5 plastics CLOSED! So for now I have a mountain of my (and my family's, coworker's) #5 plastics. They sit right next to:
#1. all my caps for AVEDA,
#2. my packing peanuts/styrofoam to take to the UPS Store
#3. clothes for Huntington Center (for disadvantaged/displaced children and adults)
#4. school uniforms to give to the resale shop at school since oldest is graduating from Catholic School

Yeah, I have a full car that hubby absolutely hates. But it's not going in the trash. Now if I could get my whole family to save their stuff for me........

wow!

It has been a long time since I've posted. Waay too busy and forgotten that I even had this blog. I really respect all the writers of the blogs that I follow...they find time to post every day.
I found a place that take the caps from soda bottles and sends them to AVEDA for recycling. I also found a local place that takes #5 plastics. That makes me very happy.

Food Waste Reduction Challenge

I signed up on http://www.thecrunchychicken.com/ to join the Food Waste Reduction Challenge. Every little bit helps.

First Ever

This is my first entry of a blog. I've commented numerous times on other blogs but didn't have my own. I don't really know why I started this, and I'm not sure how often I'll write. Only time will tell.
