Too much stuff!

[definecrazy]

Scratch that whole trying to wear more dresses thing. I decided today after doing laundry and not being able to cram the insane amount of clothing I have into drawers/hung in the closet (and I left a lot of clothes at home!) that I'm not going to buy any unneeded clothing for one year. So basically all I'm going to allow myself to buy are shoes,

all of these plans sound so good! you're lucky to be so disciplined.

i know what you mean about spending money on unnecessary items. I have started buying my soap and facial products from Lush, which is really nice and organic and everything, but so much more expensive than just getting a bar of Dove. And it's not like I'm making bank or anything...

good luck with your job! let us know how it goes!

Yeah, I know that my face really doesn't look any better or worse if I use plain old cetaphil to wash it or a really expensive bottle of something. Same with my hair.

It's not that much discipline for me. I mean, I like buying clothes, but it's not something I LOVE doing. And since I just bought an insane amount of clothes from H&M last fall, I think that has sustained me enough to get through a year without buying anything unnecessary.

I hope the job goes well too, especially considering I'm dying of girly pain right now! YES! My monthly hell comes 3 days late just to be here in great pain on my first day of work! I'm telling you...IT KNOWS.

It's nice to kind of live off of the basics. I feel like just moving to Philly has me overwhelmed with tons of stuff...despite having a teeny tiny apartment...it's just weird because I was living out of two suitcases for so long. Having furniture changes things I guess.

Good luck on the job...I just quit mine...it got bad with my boss, he's crazy. I hope that I can find a new one soon...I'm a little worried about it, but I couldn't stay there any longer.

And if you start getting up at 5-6am, you'll be like an old person!...haha. Does that mean you'll be going to bed at 8 or 9pm? Actually, it's not that bad...when I have to open the coffee shop, I usually go to bed before 10, and it's kind of nice.

Yeah, I think living in a city and seeing homeless people every day (there are some that sleep out behind my apartment building) and I see all this stuff I have, it makes me feel a little silly and sad.

And yeah, my car had so much stuff in it when I moved and then I realized that I still didn't have most of the stuff I NEEDED.

I'm glad you quit your job! You haven't sounded happy about it for MONTHS. I mean, I talked to you when I was in New York and that was almost 5 months ago and you weren't really happy, so good for you! I'm sure you'll find something else. Good Luck!

I don't mind being like an old person. I mean, technically I'll be getting the same amount of hours out of the day. I just won't be sleeping through half the daylight hours. I can go to bed at 10 and get up at 6 and still get 8 hours of sleep! That wouldn't make me too much of an old lady...
