Part of my goal in putting up this blog was to help keep myself motivated. If the whole world is watching I can't am less likely to slack off.
My life doesn't usually lend itself to large blocks of time working on house stuff, so I'm trying to squeeze little bits in here and there. Tonight, for instance, 15 minutes in the basement before dinner and another half hour after the kids went to sleep yielded a whole ton o' junk to take out to recycle. (This picture doesn't even include the 4 or 5 computer monitors, which I will wait for Mr. TDH to carry up for me.) 
My friend Steph cleverly pointed me towards Staples, which recently introduced a computer equipment recycling program. $10 buys me a convenient drop-off location for a monitor, computer and associated peripherals. Save money over our town dump, which charges $25 for a monitor only at semi-annual hazardous waste pickup days; and saves time over the several free computer drop off places that are of course all located in extremely inconvenient-to-me locations.
