Gold mine of summer clothes

Once again *I* bought no new things these past few days of not blogging. Joel, on the other hand, bought cheap ponchos for the kids when they were all camping this past weekend and it was raining hard. I wondered what he would have to buy: he left in a rush, late to meet Michal's bus in Montreal (she was there on a school trip and he didn't want to hold up her entire class), and I thought he was bound to need stuff. Like maybe a tent. But it turns out the only thing he forgot (or couldn't find) was rain gear.

I'm at the cottage now and stumbled across a gold mind of clothes in my closet here. All my summer clothes stuffed into two old garbage bags! I should have learned my lesson about putting clothes in garbage bags after Mom and Dad threw away all my clothes (stored in garbage bags) when I was a teenager. But no, there they were in garbage bags. I was so happy to see them: dresses, t-shirts, shorts. I'd thought I had more stuff than the motley collection I'd found at home. This is the one slight upside to being so disorganized: I occasionally get these great surprises!

After a slow and uninspired start to the month I'm going to try to do as many postings as I can in the last two weeks of this blog.

  1. What I'm dying to know what's next in this "wisdom-cliffhanger". I mean it's ~ 10 days until the end of your 3 month consumption diet, right? What now? Are you going to binge? (I doubt it!) Are you going to take on another one of the "Mindfulness Trainings" and see where that leads you? I'm (patiently) on the edge of my seat.
