You want to focus on the important things in life and not get sucked into a hole of commercialism, but at the same time, it can make you downright giddy to get new stuff. I suppose this is just one more dichotomy that makes up the enigma, wrapped in a mystery, wrapped in a riddle, that is a woman.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06443066023022723763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464904.post-1142564110962978072006-03-16T18:55:00.000-08:002006-03-16T18:55:00.000-08:00Hey, you look good in red.

Those were gifts and it is only right for those who gave them for you to enjoy every second of their use. ...There is a difference between a special treat and excessive consumerism. And if the right to treat ourselves well on occasion disappears..then I think we women who devote so much of our lives to caring for others will just run dry of all the giving inside us.osheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455826519363554410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464904.post-1142545911660387452006-03-16T13:51:00.000-08:002006-03-16T13:51:00.000-08:00Hey, those are gifts!

For the past few Christmases I've asked my family to donate money to a charity instead of buying me a gift. I mostly feel better about doing that than getting more stuff, but then I feel a little left out when everyone around me is tearing open wrapping paper while I smile beatifically when told the charity used for "my" donation...Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17358441701832129130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464904.post-1142530608787311102006-03-16T09:36:00.000-08:002006-03-16T09:36:00.000-08:00I live in the rural NW...so I haven't much shoppin...I live in the rural NW...so I haven't much shopping selection... <BR/><BR/>But I have a friend who lives near Malibu, whom I see once/year. Every time I see her a little green creature rises in my soul...ENVY! Her perfect designer accessories and expensive "cowboy" boots (she explained to me at Christmas, while we were shopping together in Seattle...there is some kind of cowboy boot that is the new "Ug"...to which I'm thinking, "UG?"). <BR/><BR/>So, although my "ideal self" is more anti-consumerism, sometimes that little green creature inside of me...would like a nice pair of flashy jeans!!Bobitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671826623140228982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8464904.post-1142525533075121402006-03-16T08:12:00.000-08:002006-03-16T08:12:00.000-08:00He He,I'm so the same!
