2012 Goals

Dec 21, 2011 21:33

So I'm making this promise to myself, as crazy as it is, to try to do something for all of 2012. That crazy plan is this: No new clothing (Unless somehow sent to me via magical fairy!) for the entire year (Minus necessities ( Read more... )

It doesn't sound absurd, G. I completely agree, and one of my goals for 2012 is actually to do more with less. I don't spend much money as it is except on books and video games, but I feel like it's the random purchases that need to just stop happening. The "well, work sucked so I deserve a treat" type of stuff. It just lends to the disposable world we've come to accept and take part in. Owning things that we don't love, or really even care much for. Time to fix that ( ... )

It's because you're a "G"...see, you just get it ^^ I'm thankful that you agree & am happy to hear you're on the same path yourself! We can help each other out through them tough times! ;)

I am so guilty of "Oh hey look, this is on sale, let's get it" Sometimes I stop myself and realize what I'm doing but it's soooooooooooo easy to get sucked into it. Also very guilty of the "I've had a bad day so let's buy ____" Err. How about, stop being such a child? haha

Btw - the member of your fashion club comment made me laugh a looot...I love you Griff! No worries, I have lots of fashions...some I never wear! Eep! I will revive them and you will love them...love theeemmm!!!!

NOW GET TO YOUR NEW LJ POST B/C THE REVIVING CAN'T GO ON WITH JUST ME ;) &Good for you for trying new things! It's always so exciting to fall in love with something you previously didn't like!!! :D For me, I now looooooooooove hot sauce! Never thought I could but slowly transitioned myself from a wuss to a hot sauce eating super hero! (Ok not quite there yet, one day;)

Haha, whenever I want to buy something unnecessary I'll just call you up, crying, like "G, I just want more books! I know I have all these unread books, but... But this one's new and by this awesome author that I looooooooove!!" And you're definitely right. It's childish, and more over, it's weird. Treating yourself for going to work like a big kid? C'mon, self! You know that you shouldn't need rewards for fulfilling your responsibilities and SURVIVING ( ... )
