Seven Things Week 50



This week is from the kitchen again.
* Seven tupperware bowls with lids.
That's it for this week.
But I have a confession to make. Although I have been doing this project for a year almost, I have been bringing new stuff into my house. My DH reminded me of this today.
I have been buying YARN!! And a LOT of it. But he also reminded me that I use the yarn too, so that gets rid of it.
Do crafts count in the Seven things project?? LOL

Kilowatt update



So, it's been a while since I updated on my Kilowatt usage. This month marks a full year that I have been tracking my bill and usage. I've been surprised at some of the numbers.
Here is the full years worth of usage. From March til now are the new ones I haven't posted on. Notice April! I was surprised.
August---- 1481 kilowatts
September--1980
October----1210
November---1010
December---1006
January----1080
February---1018
March------1231
April------902 (WOW)
May--------1027
June-------1150
July-------1447
Total usage for the year--14,542 Kilowatts
Average---1211.8 Which is high I think.
So I am going to try again this year to lower my usage. It's kind of hard when my husband isn't as on board as I am about conserving. But I'll give it a go again and see what I can come up with. The April number was the most shocking to me.

Seven Things Week 48



This week is clothing and a sheet.
*one fitted sheet (plaid twin, it's on the bottom)
*one pair lounge pants (dark blue)
*4 button up shirts
*one pair blue leather flats.
Thanks to my ever growing feet the flats don't fit anymore.
The button up shirts my MIL bought for me in my early days of nursing my little boy.
The lounge pants don't fit anymore.
Only four more weeks left of this project! I can hardly believe I have been doing this almost a year! My closets and drawers look good. My kitchen cupboards aren't as crowded and my daughter has received a bunch of stuff out of this project!
