Minimalism

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately...because that is what I do when I have a lot of time on my hands, and especially when I'm doing physical work and not brain drain. And right now, this summer..I have plenty of both of those things!

I have decided that I am going to attempt to become a minimalist. In other words, I am going to make cut back on excessive buying. And...if you know me, that's more of a challenge than anything else in the world for me. When I go back to school in the fall, I plan on leaving my car in Texas. I will have to get my bike fixed and start biking my butt around or taking the bus. This will mean that I have to fly back to Denver, therefore...as few of clothes as possible can come with me. I'll have to cut some of my babies out... :( I have sooo many clothes it's not even funny. So..I will determine which ones are the most verstile and go with those!~ I'll also be on a meal plan at school, so I won't be shopping in order to cut down on food costs. I will make due with what I eat during meal times and make sure that it is enough to last me...perhaps this will assist my weight goals!!~

Then when I go to Chicago (hopefully) I will have a tiny apt with nothing but basically a blow-up mattress and maybe a crate to put my books.

This is going to be extremely difficult for me as I do have a spending problem...and typically expensive taste, especially in shoes!!

We will see how it goes.

Peace, Love, and Patience...
