Had enough?

This is five days worth of catalogs. Honestly, I like looking at the pretty things, but I don't need them and am done looking. It doesn't do me, the environment or the local (including personal) economy any good to receive these bedazzlers everyday in the mailbox.

We've been recycling the catalogs, but the amount of energy used in the production/recycling process is not something we want to keep contributing to (we stopped subscribing to our handful of magazines for the same reason).  So, after a bit of research, it looks like we have two options. We chose Catalog Choice since it required less personal information.  Check it out!  If you're getting the same number I am, we could make a real impact.

We're excited about scaling down for Christmas in general, and removing tempation is one step. There are several other steps we need to get cracking on now that November has arrived. More later.
