A New Look

Thanks, Mon, for the link to Cutest Blog on the Block, which has a lot of great free blog backgrounds. I'm going with a "vintage" look for now, and it will probably change. I have to be ever mindful of my color blind husband and mother-in-law, neither of whom can distinguish red from green. I'll see what George thinks later today!

Oooh I love it! Reminds me of henna tattoos for some reason.... that green is almost the exact same color of my living room walls!

Looking great (but then I liked your old look too!). Looking forward to seeing it evolve as you play around.

I like it! It has a very peaceful feel but is still jazzy.

I, too, appreciate your new look. I have left my nascent blog to languish for months and I realized it's mostly because I hated how it looked. I've spruced it up and have more to go, but now I feel more inspired to write. Thanks! Arienne

Wow, maybe it's my monitor, but the new background makes the text totally unreadable. I had to highlight it to read this post. You might want to test it on different browsers. I'm using IE 7.0.

Hmmm...Crunchy, you're the first one to say so. Maybe I'll have to go with a lighter colored background. Dang! I love the green...but my husband said "I didnt' know you were a paisley person". Maybe I'm not! But I love it anyway.

Thanks everyone else for the compliments. And I'm glad others are having fun with their blogs now, too. February's a time to make our own fun, isn't it?

The 7 Areas for Reduction

Today I want to write just a snippet on each of the 7 areas where we're reducing our consumption. See the Riot for Austerity page to learn more. 1. Electricity. No major sacrifices. We're still watching TV a little and I'm online way too much trying to keep up with this group (my latest obsession), but we're now turning both off at the power strip when they're not in use, instead of just at night when we go to bed. Also, many more appliances are getting unplugged when not in use. 2. Heating and Cooking Energy. We are using the a/c today due to temps in the 90s and very high humidity. That is my general rule for a/c use and always has been-it has to be over 90 degrees F. and humid. Tonight when the predicted cold front passes through we'll turn it off for at least the next week of predicted 80s. 3. Gasoline. I'm biking the 2.5 miles to work every time I work, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. George is biking the 3 miles to the health club for his aerobic w...

On Family Meetings and Chores

ON FAMILY MEETINGS: On Friday night we held our first-ever Zahn Family Meeting. I've always felt that families who hold family meetings are so, well, organized and democratic and all that and we've just never gotten around to them (which speaks to my lack of organization, and probably democratic-ness, too). But on Thursday, after "crabbin' out" at the kids for not helping around the house enough, I decided to call a Family Meeting for the following night. I made the announcement to all, including dear husband, that the meeting would take place at exactly 6:30 p.m. after our Previously Scheduled Family Dinner at exactly 6:00 p.m. Just trying to be organized here... I asked the family members to come up with agenda items. Mine, of course, would be the subject of chores. I also said I would give a Treasurer's Report (a.k.a. "why we haven't paid your allowance since Christmas"). So the appointed hour came and the Meeting commenced. I asked for agenda...
