I am not buying any plants this year. From the distance, those nice silk flowers look read and they do not require vigilance in maintaining them despite what the growers say. I decided last year that I would try again and had mixed results.
I work as a sub so all these snow days are hurting me financially. Right now, I'm ready for better weather. I'm fighting the urge to boost my morale and get rid of winter blahs by buying. I will resist. We had two days of closure last January because of weather. We are now up to five days. The legislature passed a law that goes into effect next year which states schools can open as early as August 1 and close June 30 to ensure all 180 days of instruction are scheduled. That leaves July as the only month anyone can really plan a vacation.
Lmbo, so true. I do think it's an excuse, at least that is the only thing I can come up with. the more I declutter the more I find my project stuff. I just found a box of color tapes when I came up with an idea of making my own hula hoops after buying two that cost me 100bucks and that was my latest obsession. I thought I can make these myself and it will be my new hobby. I bought so much stuff. I was going to give one to my niece, friends etc. Yep, I tried a small one and that was the end if that. I never got back to it. All the tubing I bought, different sizes of course, I tossed last year. I just put the tape in my tool bag and rachet tool and connectors I still have. It will come in handy I suppose. The more I declutter, the more I uncover. My closet corners can tell you some stories. I have to laugh at my insanity.Mid January progress report: I actually finished off a jar of M Asam reservatol cream and the night serum, both from a today's special several years ago, tossed a few bottles of Joan Rivers' nail polish that were almost as old as she is, and gave away a LG liquid lipstick that was way too bright for me.
A new nail polish color and a couple of very cute journals stayed on the store shelves, and the new Linea jacket was not ordered. 0ver 20 jackets in the closet is enough.
I must confess I did order some of LG's whipped blush from Haute Look, as it is quite pale, the perfect color, is being discontinued, and I was able to use a $10 credit before it expired.
And, I find that I must add yard stuff, seeds, bulbs and all things flowers to my 'no buy' list. There are still bulbs awaiting planting from several years ago.
Why do we do this? We get so excited about a new project and we run out and buy all the components, then never actually do the project we were so excited about. Is it just another excuse to go shopping? I especially love the projects that involve buying things to help us organize all the items we've collected, but then we never use the organizers to organize it all.
Wow -- I just had a flashback. You reminded me of one of my projects. Remember a few years ago when charm necklaces were so popular? The ones with heavy chains and multiple charms? They were getting expensive and it was just costume jewelry. I got the brilliant idea to make my own. I went to a craft store and bought dozens and dozens of charms... that are still sitting in a bag somewhere. I actually have no idea where but someday I'll find them and wonder once again: "What the hernia was I thinking?"
I don't even wear necklaces! Or bracelets! But I have zillions of them!

NyQuil popsicles! And Benadryl cookies, too?
I would concur on January being the longest month EVER!!! Ughhh.. but the good news while being on a no-buy this month I was able to pay off 3 CC this month. Whoo Who!! They were small but still, they are gone!
Which leaves me with 3 more... (I know...hanging head in shame....which I "Plan" to have paid off by August. So yeah!!
One week to go! We got this!!!
