Rhonda’s Ramblings

It’s 3:56 a.m. and I am still awake. listening to some Andy Osenga.

I started organizing my cds, and that let to cleaning out some drawers in my room, which led to me finding some frames that I have been wanting to find pictures for. So, I almost opened up that Pandora’s Box of going through my photos, but then decided that would not be a wise choice..

I have way too much junk. I’m not sure how I have accumulated so much stuff in my short little life. And my sister and I just had a yard sale about two months ago. Much of my junk consists of craft items. Most of these haven’t been used in a while. But I save them because I don’t want to have to go out and buy them again when I am doing a craft project that needs that particular item. And I always think I will spend more time doing crafts than I actually do. I can’t tell you how many projects I have that are half finished.

Sometimes I wish I weren’t an American consumer. I wish that I didn’t have so many possessions and that I would be content with just a few things. Every year or so, I go through a stage where I really want to simplify and go “back to essentials, a chair and a lamp and the book that You wrote to me” (Margaret Becker). But the fact is, I like my stuff. If I had to live without it, I would. And probably wouldn’t be overly upset about it, but I do enjoy this stuff. And I continue to accumulate more stuff. Today, I got a really cute and fun picnic basket at the thrift store. Totally unecessary, but I love it.

Tomorrow is my only day off this week. And I don’t have any plans, which makes me happy. Of course, there are lots of things I need to catch up on. Bills, and cleaning and laundry and fun stuff like that. But I don’t have to be anywhere at any certain time. And I can just do stuff around the house and listen to all the cds that I rediscovered after reorganizing my cds.
