Cleaning day

I love to clean.
I love to organize.
I love to get rid of stuff.
I appreciate my things more when they are clean.

I spent the day cleaning my house and my car. Lately I've really been wanting a bigger house and a new car. Sometimes when I get depressed, I think about spending money to buy something that would make me happy, although I know I can't buy happiness. And goodness knows I won't be happy when I'm making a car payment (haven't had one in 3 years) or a larger house payment. So I just go through and de-clutter some more, scrub everything down with Windex with vinegar and run my 'ol Honda through the fancy car wash, and I feel better. sorta. :) Why is it we always dream about the things we don't have? My sis-in-law Jennifer has a sign in her house that says, "Want what you have". So true, but I don't think I've learned it yet!

Sonic time with my hubby! Enjoy your weekend!

Can you come organize my house, please? Pretty, Please? ;)

New jobs don't buy happiness either, but I really, really want one. =(
But definitely having a new car pmt would not be good! ha!!

Hope you have a good weekend!

You sound exactly like me right now. I have been wanting a new car too. A bigger one when I have absolutley no reason to need a bigger car. I always catch myself wanting more and I remind myself that I have so much already.
