Sisters

Thank God for sisters. I had a nice morning with mine shopping for a dress for her to wear to the Lost Edens book party next week, getting our hair done, eating fried egg sandwiches, and drinking ridiculous amounts of overpriced coffee and tea.



We went to a little family-owned jewelry store to look around and I told the owner I'd be back on June 20, 2012 when I'll let myself buy again. We had a super entertaining conversation about how interesting it is the things we think we need. She said just this morning she was set on going to buy her husband plastic hangers so he wouldn't have to use wire hangers, even though he sure didn't care what he used to hang his clothes on.



Every day I'm reminded of how much I have and how much I don't need--and I have to say shopping today with my sister wasn't at all hard. I saw nothing I couldn't live without because I had closets full of clothes I clearly could have lived without because I forgot I had them or they went to charity in unceremonious black trash bags. Oh! Or they went to Kerry, my sister's sister-in-law, who thankfully took a bundle of clothes off my hands. Like I said--thank God for sisters!
