So cute! I’m doing something similar. It’s too easy to pin and pin and pin into infinity without actually making anything. 5 months ago

cous-cous- not too sure about this one. The texture is unfamiliar. I’ll have to try it done another way to make a final verdict. 6 months ago

This is in keeping with my overall goal of using my stuff. I don’t want to remain trapped in the cycle of accumulation because no matter my justifications for my actions, it really is just greed.

There is information in them there books and I need to get it into my head. I have a lot of textbooks which I only read a chapter or two of and had promised myself I would read in their entirety. I have language books I bought, craft books, novels, books on philosophy…. The introduction of e-books hasn’t helped either. Thanks to e-books I have more books than perhaps I could read in a lifetime of just reading (no eating or sleeping). I’ve been reading some already.

I don’t think it would be rational of me to say I’ll read them all before I buy new ones. I might need to buy a particular book for work or burning desire or some other immediate interest. I only get to consider buying other books if I have been reading the ones I have. 6 months ago

That mixture sounds interesting. It’s been a week now and the furniture is still shiny and the oil isn’t sticky or rancid as I feared it would eventually become! 6 months ago

I was not disciplined with this goal. Once work resumed I had far less time to do anything but I should have met the challenge just the same.

52. danced 1 hour
