I went home this past weekend. I felt really bad about all the gas I was using to get to Spokane. I tried to find someone who wanted to carpool with me, but no one worked out. At least my car gets 30 mpg highway mileage, so it wasn't as bad as it could be.
My parents just recently finished their new house, that they had planned on starting in the summer of 2007, but instead waited till May 2008. Here is the back side of their house, it looks over the lake:
While I was home though, I did good with my goals for the quarter. My mom is very health conscious and she makes a lot of foods from scratch. She has also got more into buying local and organic foods. I also did not drive my car the entire time I was home, until I got in it Monday morning to drive back to Bellingham. I am proud of my parents too, because not only do they carpool to work most days of the week, they also got a low-water, energy efficient washer and a low-water toilet, kind of like the ones in the AIC.
I got my bills for the month of February. My energy bill was about the same as it usually is, $15. My Comcast bill though, was much higher then it has been, so I am putting it on my list of things to do to cancel my Internet, because it is way too high for one person to be paying for by herself.
Happy weekend everyone!
