sun cooking
I remember variations on the solar oven from my 4-H days, but never with a pizza box! "...can reach temperatures of 275 degrees, hot enough to cook food and to kill germs in water." Link sent by Roselle.

reusabit: another tissue box idea
We reuse our plastic grocery bags for disposing cat waste. They're just stuffed in a bottom cupboard in the kitchen, for lack of a better place:
Now that's attractive.
But - check out this lazyman's take on the cloth bag dispenser:
I crammed thirteen bags in that small box. Just imagine what you could do with a big one.
I think I first saw this idea in one of the Heloise books, though I've seen it mentioned around the web since.

well, at least I've reused this post
Two years ago, I pulled an all-nighter (the first in, what? - at least five years!) for a very important charity. Thanks to my sponsors, AIM, and coffee, I made it through the night with a tidy pile of cash for RIF and only a bit worse for the wear.
Last year I had other big things to think about, but I promised myself that I'd return to the Blogathon for another go this year. Please consider sponsoring as I blog for another very worthy literary cause, Book Aid.
Back in 2001, my gimmick was trying something absolutely new on every hour, with alternating life stories and bits about my collecting habits on the halves. Something more bookish this year, I think...
