First- the pans! A couple of you requested info. I got them at TJ Maxx, actually, just on a whim, and they are two different brands. My favorite one is red, and the brand on the bottom says IPAC, and then the little slogan is in Spanish. The other one is just gray with a metal handle, slightly larger than the red one at ten inches, and is from Well Equipped Kitchen. They both work great, I just like the size of the red one a little better- it's mediumish and perfect for making an omelet. And it's prettier. :)
So today's topic is something you'd like to buy. And I'm not sure if this counts as a thing, but all I can think about today, as I kick random cars out of my path and load the washer with the third load of kids clothes this week, is that I would give a year of my life if I could in exchange get free housekeeping services until my kids are a little less messy and a little better able to help out around here!
Excluding that fervent wish, however, I think what I'd like to buy is shutters for our house. And a new garage door. Wow, I am the most boring person on the planet. But those were the first things that came to mind. This is kind of how I've always been though. I don't care a lot about clothes and shoes and bags. But I do care very much how my environment looks, and it really affects my mood. There's a certain local restaurant, for instance, that I don't enjoy eating at even though the food's pretty good because the decor is so dreadful it actually distracts me. Is that... shallow?
Why yes, I do have my hands full, thanks for noticing.

Hey, my wish would be central air. Right there with you.
Oh, I would totally buy a riding lawn mower. Totally.
And I don't think it makes you shallow. I think it makes you perceptive and sensitive. :)
I am actually TOTALLY like you in the environment department. I am very affected by my environment. Messy or ugly surroundings stress me out and make me grumpy. I also have restaurants that I avoid because I don't like how it FEELS inside. Also, I like Target better largely because I like their lighting better than Walmarts.
I would like to add a deck to our house so I totally get the need to want to upgrade your surroundings!
Nowhey and Misty: those things are both on my list too! Except to have a riding lawn mower we would also need to buy/build a shed to keep it in, since our garage is so tiny... On second thought, maybe we should just burn the house DOWN and start over! Hah.
I hadn't really thought about it in those terms before - but I am very similar in my desire for my environment to be pleasing to me, while I don't mind spending most days of the week in one of two pairs fo sweats.
