    I have been trying to get rain barrels for my yard, especially during this weekend when it rained so hard - but so many barrels are sold out! I have been using a series of buckets and hoses under my gutter to collect, this will turn into a real rain barrel someday - hopefully soon!

    The challenge where I eat meals (dinner specifically) not in front of the TV or another distraction has been way harder than I thought!! Also the refined sugars one was a nice thought - Office candy took me out of the running for that one ;)
