Follow up on some old posts and a musing or two
1) Tresemme is really awesome cheap hair conditioner. You get a quart of it for 4 bucks at Target or a beauty supply shop. It doesn’t have expensive silicone additives that make your hair feel silky, but dry it out. Since using Tresemme and an ocaisional JOICO K-Pak® Deep-Penetrating Reconstructor, my hair has been restored. (Pooh on Pantene’s Smooth and Sleek conditioner. The shampoo is ok though.) Yes, I do tend to use more and glop it on, but it’s so freakin’ cheap that I’m still saving money.
2) Paycheck challenge: I went to Target and spent too much money thinking I was going to get 10% off my purchase when I charged it to my Target card. Nope. I am going to have call and find out what I’m to do to get my discount the next time. What does this mean? If I budget right, I can still spend less than what I have left in the bank this week. I really must stop putting things on my credit card if I think I’m going to cut it close with the paycheck challenge.
3) Decluttering the house is fun. I like throwing things away. I have a tendency to hoard things and I’ve been recognizing that I still have clothing I bought (er, my mom bought for me) from high school, 15 years ago. It’s still stuff in good condition, but the cuts are out of fashion. I really don’t know why I’ve hung on to it except that it’s perfectly servicable clothing. I can’t stand throwing this stuff out/giving it away since I can still wear it.
4) I thought I was going to move away from DC and move back home to Philadelphia with my family. Luckily, things are well and I no longer feel the need to move. But when you think about moving, you realize that perhaps the things inside the home are not really necessary. I have this stupid paper weight from my old job. It’s an ounce of silver encased in lucite. I’d like to crack open the lucite and sell the silver. I need to just put it into the trash since it’s useless and ugly. It’s an item I’m not excited about taking with me. What about my future plan to move to California one day? I certainly won’t want to take most of the possessions I currently have, so why on earth do I have them? I don’t know.
Since I am at my own home sweet home this weekend, I give you a full 7 days of posting this week. Thanks for reading!
