My Year Without...
I recently read a blog post about a woman who had just completed one year without buying any new clothes. I wanted to share this post with you, but when I googled it I discovered that finding a certain blog would be difficult. Why? Apparently this is a big deal. If any of you have seen Confessions of a Shopaholic (amazing movie, btw) or read the book, this will seem rather funny. But, similar to the one in that book, there is a real online program for shopping addicts. The website is here, for anyone who wants to look. All that to say, that first post inspired me today to start a One School Year Challenge. I just thought this up a few minutes ago, so we'll work out the kinks as we go. But the basic idea is, everybody doing the challenge will agree to give up one thing for the school year. It can be an activity or food/drink, like my best friend does for Lent, or it can be buying something, like the wholes clothes thing....
