I'm back. I'm exhausted, but fine otherwise. The service was perfect. I managed to speak without crying. And now it's back to regularly scheduled life.
Of course there are only four days at February left, and FeGROCMo has been pretty much derailed. I never managed to put stuff up on Ebay, and the clothing swap that was scheduled for yesterday had to be postponed.
So I am going to try and get set up on Ebay, and I am still going to do the clothing swap sometime in March, but other than that, I'm going to let it go and declare FeGROCMo pretty much a wash. I did get rid of some stuff, and I did put up some other stuff on Freecycle. I did read, "Not Buying It." And I guess given the circumstances, that's going to have to be good enough for this challenge.
Meanwhile, the battery for my iBook is defunct. Which means I probably need to go out and buy a new battery. I was hoping I could wait until August, but I don't think I can go five more months. I don't think a used battery makes much sense though, so consume I must. I am going to put it off as long as I can though. Because I am lazy.
And I am now taking suggestions for my March challenge so feel free to put any and all thoughts in the comments. I have a couple ideas in mind, but I would love to hear from you guys.

I thought about putting stuff on ebay so many times, but never did. Seems a lot of trouble (says a very lazy person) to pack and line up in the post office. So instead I use Craigslist and freecycle because people come to my front door :) Sometimes I just put at my curb with a FREE sign. Sometimes laziness simply rocks :)
I usually put stuff out on the sidewalk with a free sign. Occasionally I will try to sell something. I've also started taking things to the local thrift store.
I don't know about your green thumb, but I am trying not to kill any plants this year (I have what I think is a red pepper plant that is flowering and since I don't know the plant cycle...I am slightly confused...when does the pepper arrive?). So you could save seeds and try to grow them as a challenge.
In honor of St. Patrick's day, you should only eat corned beef and cabbage for a month.
Beany, yeah, I have a black thumb. I also live in a small apartment that gets very little sunlight and I don't have a balcony or anything. So sadly, I think gardening is out.
Mouse, I have to be honest, I don't think I've ever had corned beef! I didn't eat beef for 10 years though and I pretty much only brought it back into my diet because I heart Korean bbq. I eat beef about twice a month or so. So I don't think that's going to work so much for me. :)
I've been hoping you'll do a local food challenge. Seem like it would be pretty easy in sunny Califonia...
Or, since you're in sunny California, something related to water use?
