only in dreams

i am really trying not to say things like "man, i can't wait until we have money so that we can buy a house" or "i really wish that we had money so that we could hire bobby flay to come prepare all of our meals." that's not to say i don't have those thoughts--i do (and you're lying if you say that you don't have them... or you're just a really good person). i usually take those moments to reflect on all the wonderful things in my life, because they are certainly plentiful.


but today i have reached my threshold, and it is time for public coveting. i'm just going to say it: i cannot wait until discount toilet paper is no longer the norm in our home. i fantasize of fancy, soft toilet paper with teddy bear embossing slowly infiltrating all of my normal storage areas, accumulating under the bathroom sink, stacking in the closet, somehow finding its way into my backpack and purse.

let's be honest with each other here: there's no way anyone would ever do this with "super discount ultra-soft" (which in no way resembles actual softnesss). do you recognize the look in his eye? that, my friends is what we call pure joy.

dare to dream. dare to dream.

Oh honey - I admire your frugality but it's okay to splurge on comfort for the sake of the rear. And yes... I am trying hard not to covet. Especially - other people's church callings. I am a den mother. Enough said.

i have the same coveting thoughts when i wake up in our ghetto apartment each morning and realize it wasn't "just a dream."

good thing rivers is still getting you through the hard times and hard toilet paper. we buy our from costco- discounted but not totally disappointing.
