the three r's


i had the pleasure of chatting with my former boss yesterday. he is hilarious, and not really SO old, but no longer in the ad business on a day-to-day basis. i laughed when i asked how he was doing, and he replied, 'well, i'm continually being reduced, reused, recycled.'

he he.
i feel like that sometimes, so i could definitely relate.

anyway, on a completely unrelated note, but sort of, i am in the market for a new/old house, not immediately, but in the next year or so. it's hard to imagine living somewhere else. but, i'm ready. i think a smaller community would be just right for this season of my life. so, i'm dreaming about how to go about starting over with a different house. one thing that intrigues me, is the idea of recycling an entire house of goods. i wonder, what kind of budget would it take to find EVERYTHING used? is it even possible? i've seen some challenges on blogs lately, one in particular that vows to go an entire year 'consuming' only vintage or used items.

wow! that would be so cool. i don't think i could go without target, but MAYBE. so, i ordered this book. unfortunately, the used version cost more because of shipping than the new version. doh. not off to a very good start :)
