I just knew that YW, EFY, CTR, RS, FHE and yes BofM were part of a language we speak. That and the fact that I too, "have a vast repertoire...." and "if I see something I like I will buy it". I'm right there with you on your concept of eternal life and am quite certain beautiful colors are part of the deal. Why else, pray tell, would the streets be paved in gold?<BR/><BR/>You made me feel glad today - <BR/>thanks.Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17367545271547691319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-46483461361969028262008-02-26T19:15:00.000-07:002008-02-26T19:15:00.000-07:002008-02-26T19:15:00.000-07:00Why do you think I sew?

It's so funny that you wrote this, because I just read this post on Feminist Mormon Housewives on the same subject but the reverse side (http://www.feministmormonhousewives.org/). I've been thinking about my "stuff" recently and my never-ending quest for MORE stuff! I seem to always have the itch to acquire cute, clever, beautiful, useful, thrifty, or classic things.

I come from a long line of shoppers and I love buying cute things, especially for my kids. I've never thought of going to the scriptures to help me--I only concentrate on how to hide my purchases from my hubby.brookehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15114483651100368830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-26663717645874101262008-02-26T08:46:00.000-07:002008-02-26T08:46:00.000-07:002008-02-26T08:46:00.000-07:00Yes CJane! Isn't it tiresome to have the love of order and beauty inherently within us, and then at the same time try and not be materialistic and be content with less than perfect surroundings!

I swear to you this day that I had the same day yesterday. Replace baby naseua with head cold, and Ikea entertainment center with new wall oven.

BIG TIME!<BR/><BR/>Shopping is my friend. I heart it very much. I take pride (oops BoM again!) in being fabulous, and enjoyed having one of my CTR 6 girls note my black leather skirt in Primary on Sunday (Black Leather on Sunday? OH MY! OH YES!)<BR/><BR/>I struggle to slough off the natural LJ.....all of the time. You are not alone! <BR/><BR/>p.s.
