My current challenges:
1. 5 minute showers
2. 20 minutes (tops) of time on the phone for each person I talk to
3. No shaving
4. Along with the school we are turning off all lights until it is absolutely necessary, and when it is necessary we only turn on one light per room.
5. No meat. (Fish or any other kind).
I WANT TO SHAVE! Oh my goodness I thought the no-shaving task would be simple but it's just kind of bugging me now. It's not even Meredith, she says it's not all that bad and maybe I'll grow a beard, but I doubt it. Truthfully I don't mind it too much but I kind of wish I could shave. Yeesh.
My shower today (which was downstairs this time; kind of cold) was perhaps a little over 5 minutes. I don't know for sure because I didn't look at the clock but still I went as fast as I could possibly go. Scrubbing away the time.
The phone conversation today was...a little over. Okay fine, 10 minutes over. I'm sorry! So sue me. I'm not failing, I just need to cut down a tad more. It's still a giant improvement; I've gone from around 60-120 minutes to only about 30. That's an amazing achievement in itself.
Today we had macaroni and cheese. One box regular and one box of white-cheddar-shells. It was just delicious. I'm so happy that there are all these great non-meat foods out there that I just never really appreciated before. Oh! And at lunch I had my first PB&J sandwich in like 2 years. I KID YOU NOT. Sadly, it was not that good. Needed more jelly.
The lights? Well, we're all doing pretty well at the house. I remember the most (obviously) and therefore I remember to turn off the lights most often.
Altogether, it's going pretty "green". Ouch, that was lame.
