I am a material girl. I try to deny it, but I shop all the time, and I get mad when I can’t. I reveled in Sophie Kinsella’s Shopoholic books. While not a designer shopper, I do have a special way of acquiring junk. So in the week before New Year, I look at all this stuff, and think “Ok what am I taking to Good Will.” Knowing full well that I will not get a tax deduction.
Now you may have read the title and thought, “Oh heartwarming…next.” When I say the things I need, I’m thinking I NEED a tarp to cover the Cozy Coupe in the back yard. I need baskets or boxes to make my living room look less like a daycare.
I need 500 more dollars a month in my paycheck. I need cute classroom things I saw on pintrest I need new clothes.
These are really not needs, these are wants, and I could DIY some things to keep myself more organized.
I realized the other day that I could cover diaper boxes and get my baskets (if I can do it tastefully. I have crates, scrapbook paper, and scissors. I’m trying to come up with a solution for the tarp, but I definitely will be brown bagging it through January.
I think I might have what I need, it’s just figuring out how to make what I have fit those desires. I also have that mushy stuff too, but maybe I could use to be a little kinder too.
