So its been a few days since I have been on.....things haven't really changed much. We finally have some clear trash bags for our recycling.  We have been really good with the energy usage.  I am proud of everyone including myself on how well we have become aware of these issues.  It is really funny that I now see myself walking past other townhouses and saying how much everyone is wasting electricity with all the lights on and no one in their rooms.  Also we caught a full container of rain water in the back of our house a few days ago when it rained.  That is great cause we have a few bottles we need to rinse out before putting them in the recycle.  Also the use of new lights we purchased are great energy savers especially for using the bathroom at night

This light provides way more then enough light so that you can see where you are walking and see the toilet clearly while doing your business.  This investment of around 12$ for two of these allows us to use this battery powered light that last around 15,000 hours, instead of wasting electricity when turning on the light/fan combination every time you walk into the bathroom.  Its been a success so far.

Phils game about to start.....I'll be back later.
