Pent-Up Consumerism

Now that we are in our new house, it's so hard to resist buying everything we want, right now! And since we really haven't bought anything for a home in four years, it's even harder.

Here's the list of what we want:
- Master bedroom furniture
- Rugs (with hardwoods you need something soft around)
- Patio furniture
- Grill
- Landscaping
- Window coverings
- Coffee table
- Flat Screen TV
- New house phone, and I'm sure the list goes on.

Here's what we've bought so far:
- Breakfast table and chairs
- Bedspread for our bedroom
- Vacuum cleaner for the hardwood floors
- Paint for NGK's room
- Wicker bench for front porch

So, we're trying to resist, but it's hard. Patience, it's all about patience, and being debt free (which we are and intend to stay).

This reminds me of "Stuffmart" on the Veggie Tales video when Madam Blueberry wants so much stuff. Junior Asparagus shows her to be content with what she has...you are still a few years away from these videos but they are great! It's so hard not to spend, especially when those IRS rebate checks were sent out. :-)Kelli D
