slow movement

so one of our goals this year is to take life slower
we live in a electronic world
cell phones, computers, television






this weekend we are taking a pledge
from friday night
to saturday night


we are going without all of that
and more
no lights, no batteries, no stove, no twitter, no blogs, no e-mail
we are keeping heat (cause it is supposed to be freezing)
we will turn off our cell phones
we can read
we can clean
we can enjoy each other's company
we will be using our car
cause i really want to go to a dutch oven demostration

i will be using my holga documenting the day
i will scan my pictures when i get the film back
i will blog via pen and paper
yep, you read right
i will write about my day and our experience
and will scan it in also and will post on Monday or Tuesday
also along with the slow movement
i came across our city lights blog
i will be participating in the Slow Readers Book Club

go to our city lights blog and e-mail her

if you would like to participate with me!

hoorah! for a slower year
