How I did it
How to eat out less
It took me
6 months
It made me

How I did it: I like eating out...but not if I can't afford it. I actually forgot I set this as a goal until today. It just sorta has happened on it's own, due to the economic climate nationally and in my household for the past year or so. Things actually seem to be picking up some now, so I'm actually feeling like my goal is tending toward the "eat out more" end of the spectrum at this point.

make a shower curtain

Some of this has been done 13 months ago
