We are 2.5 months into the challenge and to the best of my knowledge we have slipped up twice...both times related to the civil rights protests in Wisconsin.
First "mistake"...after a protest rally we stopped into Ian's pizza to see what democracy tastes like ...and found out they had T-shirts...we really wanted to support all they done ( people have been buying pizzas from all over the world in support of the protests in Madison)....there were two T-shirts left...we bought them, put them on and then turned to each other and gasped..."We just bought something new!"
Other than that....we have bought nothing new. The boys have complained that our snow shovels are broken...so we are hoping the weather helps us out until we can find some used snow shovels. :)
If you weren't in Madison yesterday...and want to see what democracy looks like...

Can you hear us now?

Love the bag-on-heads photo -- you're conscientious AND funny. Good combo.
I had my first moment of regret for starting this challenge. I listened to an author speak on Ted talks (David Brooks) and wanted to get his book, the social animal. It's a new book and though I wait listed at the library it will be months. Here is the quote, paraphrased due to poor short term memory, that made me want to read the book:
Reason and emotion aren’t separate; emotions are the foundation of reason because they tell us what to value.
