I've noticed that the pictures posted on this blog are always at our house. This is mainly because I forget to take my camera anywhere. So, in order to prove that Georgia and I do more than just sit around the house all day I've decided I'm going to begin chronicling our weekly adventures. The two posted here are from our visit to Target and Chili's this week. We also went and had Gigi's hair cut, which I actually brought my camera for, but then became so involved in trying to keep her from crying while the lady cut her hair that I forgot to take pictures.
Also, I have had trouble falling asleep tonight because I've had thoughts racing through my head. In order to relieve my mind of my thoughts I am going to post them here for all the world to see. They are (in no particular order):
*I don't want to buy anymore clothes, house doo-dads, hair products, and miscellaneous items for the next 11 months. I've got so many piles and piles of stuff accumulating all around me that I can barely stand it. I've been trying to eliminate for the past 6 months. I have Habitat come by and pick up my piles once a month and I still can't seem to get rid of all it. I think this is because I buy little things here and there. Would it really hurt me if I just stop shopping for 11 months? I don't think it would one bit. Will I be out of style? Yes. But I actually already think I probably am and so this should not really matter. Americans collect way too much junk. We need to do a lot of simplifying so that we can really LIVE. Clutter gets in the way because it consumes so much of our time!
*I'm not going to cut my hair (except for the necessary split-end trim) for however long it takes me to get 10 inches of non-layered hair. I don't work and I am so consumed with taking care of Georgia that I have very little time on my hands to even take care of myself. However, the one thing I can give to someone who needs something is my hair. It is no problem for me to just let it grow. And the organization Locks of Love is really a unique and helpful charity. I want to contribute to it.
*Oklahoma needs better neighborhoods. I have a very good design for the ultimate neighborhood lingering in my head. I have no money to finance such a project but wouldn't that be cool if I could find investors and actually DESIGN a neighborhood. If I could, mine would have two goals: beauty through landscaping and architecture (classic architecture and landscaping that get better over time) and it would c0nnect people to a community-- give them a sense of place.
*I am writing a book. Yes, to all of you who did not know, I am writing a book!! It is in the beginning phases and I don't want to reveal any detail about it because, well, it is just presently my little secret. I think secrets are very fun and now that I think about it I should probably have a few more simply because I am getting so much pleasure out of this one.
Okay. I think that is all I want to write for now. Hope you enjoyed reading this blog. It is definitely not my usual entry.
