It is almost time to move. We pick up the keys in two weeks, and then will spend the month of May moving.
When I wrote our pledge at the beginning of the year I knew we were going to be moving, so I almost included moving as an exemption. I decided not to because we were planning to move from a 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath apartment to a 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath apartment. I wouldn't need anything. Now we are moving to a four bedroom house with a giant rec room (the "man cave") and a huge yard that I can garden in.
So anyway, I know that I am the only one that will make myself feel guilty for buying curtains to hide our nakedness (for example), but in the interest of full disclosure, I wanted to let everyone know. Of course, we will still continue to look for things used before we buy new, and of course, the Compact will only be "on hold" for those things we need for the house.
The sad/funny thing is that all of the things I need to buy are things that we Freecycled when we moved from our house in Detroit to our current apartment. Doh!
In the mean time - Anyone got a lawnmower they don't need? lol

I think it's perfectly reasonable. Do what you can, you know? The key is not to follow it in draconian way, but to follow it in a way that works with your life. It's like dieting, I think: sure you may eat 100% organic almost all of the time, but sometimes circumstances necessitate otherwise. Good luck with everything.
