I feel guilty that I sometimes think I need certain material things. I think it’s ridiculous that Target has so much crap and we are almost trained to want this stuff! That being said, I went to Target today to get some stuff for the apartment. As I was driving home (feeling guilty) I realized in my own little way I was gathering sticks for my nest. Our apartment is in a tragic state and I want to make it feel home. I’m gathering the same “sticks” that my mom and my friends gathered to make their homes “homey”. Birds of a feather? I don’t know…I still feel like it’s kinda sad, but here are my “sticks”.
I just snacked through lunch on cherries, carrots and hummus, chips and something else I can’t recall…
I did take a de-stressing walk before dinner 🙂
I just heated up the leftovers from dinner on Friday – brown rice and veggie “chicken”, I added broccoli.
I have been meaning to try baking chocolate since I love super dark chocolate 🙂 I took a small step toward that with this 90% chocolate.
I melted some of it on a sandwich thin with almond butter – Delicious!
Now I am watching the Best of “True Life” because we finally have a TV. We didn’t have one in our new place in Orange County after the wedding and haven’t had one since – it’s been a month!
I’m going through the pics of my past eats to see where I can improve I feel like I’m still missing the mark…
I hear ya on the “sticks” thing. The way I justify spending money on silly little knick-knacks is that they make me feel at home and comfortable no matter where I am and that’s definitely worth the money
I’m glad I’m not the only one!
i *always* buy too much stuff at target — at least you get to nest. i just buy to buy it seems 🙂 and that chocolate / almond butter sandwich looks yummy!
