More life at home

After hearing five Disney previews in a row drifting up from downstairs...

Me: "Mom, why are you watching all those ads?"

Mom: "I'm doing homework so that I can get to 'The Princess Diaries.'"

Me: "I'm speechless."

Mom: "Don't be. I've been known to watch 'Winnie the Pooh.'"


In other news, on the drive home today I was thinking that it would be really cool to expand my thrifting and clothes re-gifting habit into a free clothes closet that would be available to anyone. How cool would it be to accumulate beautiful clothing for little cost just to spoil people? However, at the moment I have neither the budget nor the space to expand my efforts, so I'm going to continue at my current pace. Maybe someday when I have a guest bedroom? Sometimes I find great items but do not know anyone in that particular size, and it did occur to me that even now I could collect those things on a small scale and give them to a local clothes pantry. Life is only going to get more expensive as gas increases and the dollar decreases. In God's economy, being generous is a good savings plan.
