goodies..

here are three websites that i think are interesting and worth sharing. hopefully you'll like them too!

book mooch.

i'm still not completely sure how it works (i think the points system seems like it could get a little confusing, but maybe not), but i think this site seems very awesome. don't you just see things like this and wish you'd thought of them? well, i know i do. anywho, i'm hoping to put my list of books up soon so i can get started requesting and sending books. neato.

neighborhood fruit.

i'm kind of bummed that i didn't know about this site while we were still in cali, because there are so many fresh fruit trees out there and also a lot of people who would probably be prone to sharing from them. there was actually a huge lemon tree in someone's backyard on our alley in oceanside, and i thought very often about snatching a few. hopefully once warmer weather rolls around i'll be able to find someone sharing their fruit in raleigh.

one dress.

i found this website on a blog i really like and have been following it on and off ever since. i haven't read the whole thing, but what i do know is that the blogger has committed to wearing the same dress for an entire year as a protest against consumerism and to challenge her motivation and reasons for caring about fashion. it's pretty neat, and it's been interesting to follow what she's learning about herself and also about other people as they react to her wearing the same thing day after day.

i give all of these a heartfelt

p.s. can you believe january is almost over? it seems like just yesterday the ball was dropping to welcome in 2011. time. flies.
