Everyday wisdom
I never go shopping anymore. After going through so much downsizing in the past year, I really don't feel much desire to buy anything. I've had to spend a lot of time at Target lately waiting for prescriptions for Tripp, Jonny, and Justin and with our own personal journey and the backdrop of the national financial crisis, it seems a bit surreal: so much stuff! Do you ever wonder where it all goes?
We have a beautiful and extensive (extensive with a t, not a p) gift store in Purcellville that I would have no reason to be in at all except the boys were at CCD on Monday and with an hour free, I dropped in just to admire stuff. I actually have gotten free of the desire to buy - which I can equate to being on a diet and getting past your food obsessions so you just don't want anything fattening anymore.
In my wandering I came to an aisle of decorative plaques with so many interesting sayings I went out to my car to get my notebook. Those of you with leanings toward decoupage or scrapbooking may find some of these worth repeating. Others may just enjoy the everyday wit and humor.
Happy Life

Luckily for you they can't laugh either.
It's the stupid ones who need advice.
But so was yesterday and look how you screwed that up.
I'm just not sure to whom.
as long as it is an interesting path
But They Do It Anyway.
Chances are your life is staying together.

I still have checks left.

I love a good snarky quote. I have none to share but this was a favorite:
"Today Is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life,
But so was yesterday and look how you screwed that up."

I like the wife one and the chunky dunk.......
I too wonder where all that stuff goes. And have you ever been in an IKEA? Holy cow.

I bought this sign to hang over our coffee maker:
Coffee isn't a drug,
It's a VITAMIN!

I saw this on a bumper sticker:
My Kids are Not Spoiled
They Just Smell that Way
