I feel like ranting today.

I believe that these four things are good for your soul: shopping, getting a haircut, having a good cry, and having girl's night.

I believe in letting your dishwasher do it's job. IE: I do NOT rinse my dishes before I load them. It's a waste of time. And nope, I don't have a good dishwasher.

I believe in kissing my children. 5,000 times a day.

I believe that THIS is a cute song. If only I could sing and Dave had long hair.

I believe in being a good neighbor. I have the world's best neighbor right now. I have borrowed countless things from her: eggs, chocolate chips, soy sauce, cake pans, and too many other things to list. I pray that I have a new neighbor just like her.

I believe in letting go. I believe it- but am having a hard time with it today. Things are not important. Especially things that won't fit in our moving truck. It's just stuff. I can buy more (See point #1).

You are a wonderful person, that I am so happy I was able to get to know. You add joy, and sunshine to everyone you know!! Even through trials you show me that a strong independent woman can still have a positive outlook! You are such a great example!!! Just wanted to share!!

I agree with your rantings. Especially kissing those cute kids of yours and shopping being good for the soul (especially when I'm shopping with you)! I wish I could let go better than I do and wish I had your neighbor (I used to have Daunis and we would borrow from each other almost every Sunday). You do bring sunshine and joy to me every single day:)

LOVE this post. I agree with ALL of your rantings! I especially like the one about girl's nights, shopping, and a good cry.

Veda is so cute!

You, I'm sure, are a great neighbor too!

Stuff is always hard to get rid of . . . especially since you grow emotionally attached to it. Just think long and hard about what you really want to keep. :) Before you know it you'll have more stuff you LOVE!! Excited for your new adventure. It is hard though, I do get that!!

I had to move a ton as a kid. Once every 3 years or so. I had to learn to hang on to what was super important. That was typically my family, my relationship with friends (I keep in contact) and pictures. Those were the "things" that were super important to me.

Love Ya,
Gabrielle
