List 1- Thing 26

26. Put a recycling bin in the laundry room and empty it myself regularly

I've been meaning to do this for over a year now. Thanks to this list, I finally got off my arse and did it. LOL

I bought a bin today at Wal-mart. Took me forever to decide on size/shape. I'm not sure why I went with this one... but it spoke to me. It seems large enough for my purposes, able to fit newspaper and paper as well as tall listerine bottles and such. I printed out a nice recycling label from Microsoft clip art.




That picture is the corner of the laundry room, which is adjacent to my bedroom. I have a microwave (not pictured), storage for my drinks, my mini-fridge from college, and a mini-pantry(the green container). And now... a recycling bin!

Now all I need to do is remember to empty it regularly instead of letting the recycling pile up and sit around my bedroom/bathroom. Which sounds worse than it is, I assure you. But now it won't be a problem at all.

Ok, you're doing too many things too fast! You're going to make the rest of us look bad.

LOL Well, as you can see, I am working on certain things... but they're all long-term type things. I still only have ONE thing actually completed. It's one thing to stick a bin in the other room... it's another to see if I'll actually use it *stares at the two empty Brisk cans and one empty lemonade bottle on her desk right now* and remember to empty it.
And I've already missed several days on my new and revised weekly schedule. I remembered to work out yesterday... and I decided not to. Crap.

So have no fear. I'm really lazy at heart. There's no risk of me catching up to y'all any time soon :-)
