Yesterday I was rear-ended. It wasn't bad at all so don't worry. I just have to say that I am so thankful for my old car, because first of all if I had a brand new car and I got rear-ended, I hate to say it but I think I would be furious, even if there were just a few scratches.
We bought the couch we have right now on craigslist for $300. At the time, I was really wishing we could of had a brand new fancy sofa from the design center. I saw one up there one day while I was shopping for clients. It was on sale and I called Aaron desperately trying to get him to say yes. Now I understand why we didn't need that since everyday spitup gets on it and dirty paws. This saves alot of headaches.
My wardrobe consists of thriftstore finds, Ross, Target, and H&M mainly. Why?? Cause I can only afford those #1, #2 because I know they will just get dirty and not fit after awhile. Believe me, I would love to have a completely different wardrobe full of Anthropologie, etc.
Maybe I am a little to materialistic. That is weird to say since being materialistic implies, "a person who is markedly more concerned with material things than with spiritual, intellectual, or cultural values."
I think what I mean is having old an used things keeps me from freaking out about things that shouldn't matter in life. I know myself to well that if I had the nicest things out there I would worry so much about something happening to them.
I am just thankful that I even have a car that runs and a comfy couch to come home to and clothes to keep me warm.

Well said, Dana. I really like that perspective.
And I love the music on your blog. I normally get really annoyed when music starts up on people's blogs, because I never like it. But I'll leave your blog page open after reading it just for the music.
Sorry about getting rear ended. I'm with you on the craigslist furniture. I just buy it and then PAINT IT!!!!
Oh... I so love that about you Dana!
Sorry about the car!
Beautifully said! I totally agree. Thanks for sharing.
Totally Dana. I agree. And I too would have a closet full of Anthropologie clothes if I could, but then I'd get mad when I got a bleach stain on everything.
So you know we're renting right now and our house is kind of cute but old (1957) and banged up in alot of places. I went to drop Eve and Thomas off at a playdate at a friend's house while I went to the doctor. Her house was new and smelled so nice- it was crisp, perfectly pollished and well maintained. I have to admit, when I got in the car to head to my doctor's appointment, I had to keep saying to myself, "don't cry, don't cry.. you're wearing make up... don't cry." I was 100% coveting her nice new house. But then when I came home and the dog peed on the kitchen floor, I just rolled my eyes and cleaned it up... no panic, it was only 1960's vinyl flooring. Right?
