7QT: but right now I’m just too ashamed

May 30, 2014 By Jenna 8 Comments

I’m the honest worst at gardening. Is there a color darker than black that my thumb could be? I’ve killed three cacti. One from over-watering. BUT, earlier this week I decided to woman up and plant some stuff in my yard. I got yellow thingys, pink thingys, purple thingys, and green leafy stuff. I also got basil, strawberries and tomatoes. Oh, and succulents because…succulents.

Here’s the kicker: I enjoyed it. What is happening? Although I am fairly certain that this bug will pass once I have to water them everyday.

I took wonderful Anne’s advice on wall art. Hanging it up then writing it down because that’s how I do.

Long story short, we had a baby doll emergency Wednesday morning that involved me running into Target at 9:30am to get a life-sized talking baby. I’ll get into it later, but right now I’m just too ashamed.

In addition to the baby purchase, I have been bleeding money in useless ways lately. I go through stages where I’m a total Cher Horowitz only to be followed by the urge to purge. I get such a guilty feeling when I spend money in useless ways – as I probably should. I think?

Anyone else have this problem? How do you deal?

In a total unlike me move, I became a doTERRA rep. I just digging my oils, you know? I don’t really plan to sell them, but I will post some tips here time to time. You cool with that? Good. Because this is happening next week:

<truestory> The first time Mike and I ever kissed, we were slaving away making cheese quesadillas on this machine. Now every time I see one, I think of that day and smile. Scored one at a garage sale this weekend. Even if I never use it, it was worth it for the memory. This story has layers of cheese. </lamestory>

    I had to laugh at your garden experience. It sounds all too familiar. I always start with the best intentions but my fresh herbs always manage to become a dried herb garden, although I have yet to kill a succulent so you’re one up on me there. ;-) Love the first kiss memory. So sweet.

    Girl, you ain’t the only cactus killer out there, but my body count hasn’t passed one yet. ;) Yay for the homesteading!

    I’m the same way–I BUY ALL THE THINGS for a bit and then finally feel guilty and overwhelmed and purge like crazy. Currently… I’m in a purge/simplify stage. I wish I was a bit more balanced about this, especially because I really do feel happier when I’m not buying a ton of stuff. But… then there’s Target. And their RedCard…. sigh…

    Wait a hot minute–is that a pic of your wall art?! GIRL. That is gorgeous. WHERE IS THAT PAPER? Sorry for yelling in caps. I would love that in my sewing room. Looooove it. And what a great idea for wall art.

    “Bleeding money is useless ways”. I do that too – in stages. Usually when my head is in the wrong places, or in too many places. I’ve worked out it’s the shopping experience not the buying I like. The browsing, comparing, visualising things in my own home etc. So I shop online, happily put 50 things in my shopping cart then when I’ve hard my fun, delete the cart and walk away. Quenches my shopping fix and doesn’t cost a cent :-)

    Looks like I’m not the only one. I don’t think I’m extreme but I go through phases where I buy, buy, buy. Then purge, purge, purge. Ugh, what a waste! Of time, money and energy. Unlike Abbie, though, whenever I shop online then decide I need to delete the cart, I do not walk away feeling anything other than remorse. Because I want all.the.things!! Sigh.
