In the past few days, we've made a few fresh starts at Casa Morgan.
Taken steps and made decisions that will focus our energies, save some resources, and make life even better.
Among them:
*Dave started several seeds for our winter garden (crazy-quick sprouts at left) - beans, cucumbers, broccoli, beets, radishes, and carrots.
*We stepped up our half-marathon training now that we're leaner and lighter.
*We paid off a few lingering summer credit charges so that our only personal debt is our mortgage.
*We committed to eating dinner at home every night this week (unusual for us), and had some great homemade dinners with dishes we'll visit again.
*I agreed to take on a couple dinners a week, to take the load off of Dave and encourage us to skip restaurants more often -- 9 times of 10 we make better food at home than we can order out.
What about you guys and gals? Now that we're near a change of season, school's starting, etc, are you making any fresh starts?

Fresh Starts, Late Summer Edition

2 ate pie:
Ryan and I both lightened our clothing load. After spending 5 months out of one suitcase I realized I was keeping clothing at home that I didn't wear and didn't need. Ryan and I both purged our closets (for the third time since leaving TX) and now we not only have more storage space in our tiny NYC apt but I actually like the clothing hanging in my wardrobe. And when we can figure out how to make a donation in this city we will have donated nice clothing to someone who needs it.
The amount we have purged since last summer makes me cringe at the amount of clothing we must have owned before. What a waste!
Oops - forgot to respond. I love purging closets. I think this is a separate post. Will get on it.
Too funny writing this, since you're in the next room, I think.
