Right now it’s just a bit past 5 AM. I got home about 20 minutes ago.
This reminds me, yet again, that making money is NOT THAT EASY. And thus I SHOULD NOT waste it on frivolous things.
Good thing that the shoes, the jeans, and the blouse that I purchased from Banana Republic didn’t fit well [...]

Almost every day I see this homeless man while driving to work. He is always leaning slightly to one side, weighed down by a backpack slung over right shoulder. He wears an olive-green jacket and blue jeans. He smokes. His hair is a little long. I imagine him to be 40 or 50, although if [...]

Last night I decided to embark upon the ambitious project of culling & re-organizing my wardrobe.
I have a lot of clothes - too much, Mom always said. Now I don’t feel as if I have too many clothes to wear, but perhaps I DO have too much stuff that I DON’T wear. To make this [...]

I first saw this pair of shoes this summer, tried them on and loved them. Unfortunately the store didn’t carry my size, so we had to part ways.

Today was my lucky day because I found three books that I’ve been meaning to buy - all in excellent condition - at the local library sale.
I got Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking, Calvin Trillin’s About Alice, and Nathaniel Hawthrone’s The Scarlet Letter for $2 each. And they were all in hardcovers [...]

I signed up for the gym (and actually went!)- hopefully this is one of many steps towards a happier, healthier me. The initiation, “towel fee” and the prorated fee for November added up to $115 - after that it’s $50 a month for the membership. The gym offers several classes that I want to take: [...]

I went online & ordered $68 worth of stuff from Sephora - that’s not the dumb part - I had a gift card that I’d planned to use.
The dumb-I-can’t-believe-I-just-did-that part is that I put it on my credit card. It was like reflex, filling out the shipping address, then the credit card info, then the [...]
