I don't know why, but I have a lot of trouble buying new stuff.
I don't mean stuff that I need necessarily. But new versions of items I already own. For example, I only recently got rid of a jacket I've had since college. I've been wearing the same shoes for two years (although I have replaced the insoles). I do have new clothes, but only because my mom loves buying me clothes.
When we moved to this area with all our old furniture gone, we bought an apartment-full of stuff at this college store nearly a decade ago, which we assumed we'd replace over the years. We still have almost all of it. Ditto with all my pots and pans and dishes, aside from my one big frying pan.
I don't know why I'm so adverse to buying new stuff. I guess I always just feel like why should I replace a perfectly good [insert name of object]? I don't really enjoy shopping for new things. Honestly, it sort of stresses me out. I only replaced my awful laptop because it wouldn't run a program I needed for work.
But you'll be happy to know I do replace my toothbrush on a regular basis.

Sorry
I feel massive, crushing guilt about not posting here more frequently. Well, not really. But I do feel a little bad about it.
The problem is, the less you post, the less you post. No, that's not a typo. Basically, if you're only posting every couple of weeks, you start to feel like every post you make has to be incredibly profound. It's not enough to make a post about a Cheeto you found that looks like a guy masturbating. And since my life is not that profound, I don't know what to post.
Also, I'd post more if the blogger app didn't suck so bad. Just sayin'.
The big drama in my life these days is I bought a new car. It's a Subaru Forester--my first SUV. I'm horrified I did this... the best thing about my kids getting older was I didn't need to have a bigger car, but somehow this car happened. I love/hate it. I love the way it drives and the visibility is great. I hate everything else about it.
The thing I hate most this week is I realized I had the option of getting a trunk that opens automatically, but because the salesman didn't tell me this was an option (because he probably wanted to unload a car nobody wanted), I didn't get it. So now I have a trunk that's impossible to close for short little me. I called the car dealership and cursed them out, but it's not like it's some big revelation that car salesmen are skeezy.
Question of the day: if I live in a place where snow comes out of the sky on a regular basis during the winter months, do I need special tires?
