.......warning.....

I am not feeling cheery today...........I'm pretty sick of people who think they are entitled to everything their heart desires......ask a superstar or a millionaire.......that is not true happiness........I believe in living simply so that all can simply live..............

yes, I wear the same clothes all the time......I wash them ....and then I wear them again.....until they wear out........none of them say Limited or Aeropostale or Ann Taylor.....my shoes are high quality because you get what you pay for in footwear.......I know children who have 42 Hollister shirts............want Coach purses.......a selection of Uggs.......really?!?!?!?

I challenge you all to find complete joy in something simple.......my friend who has been struggling is caught up on utility bills........she gets it......she knows true joy in the moment......

I had a beanie baby obsession....before I had kids...........yes, I had a twelve-year-old's collection when I was 30.........I kept a checklist.....I wanted them all...........now....I give them to my speech students for working hard.......the one I give them is probably the only one they'll ever have ....and they love it to pieces.......and they'll probably remember me for that.........not for any speech goals they met......

I'm working hard to purge my house of nonsense I don't need........Goodwill drop off is my friend.......then maybe I can truly tackle taking control of my food intake and exercise output......there's not really a reason for me to wait but the thought of doing both overwhelms me.......Spring Break is coming..........I have big plans...........an empty, clean house.........a farmer's market schedule so we always have healthy and fun food choices.........it will happen.....join me, won't you!
