i can't get enough music in my life. maybe it's cuz these people won't let me! y'all know what people i'm talkin bout. the same dayummed people who couldn't gimme no peace in my last post bout music.
but tonite, i'm gettin my groove on! those people be sleep and amen for that cuz i'm vegging out with Elton and Eric and Angelique. mmmm... yummy sounds of blissed out vibe that do me right...
okay Eric got a few on the Timepieces CD that i cain't get down with, but that's okay. i'm still a fan of the cool hand man. i only like one on Elton's The Big Picture so no biggie either way. what i can't figure out is what the hell happened to the ones i ripped to my hard drive? they ain't showin up on any of the lists.
any way... *sucking my teeth while rolling my eyes*
okay y'all, a sista is gettin serious for a minute.
several years ago, i started taking a written assessment of my life. i try to do it once a year but i can only find one for '00, '01, and '02. the formal title for these documents is "my environment and the issues that surround my life".
in each document, i identify then detail a pervasive "issue" in my life. the papers have evolved in format but content still consists of the same elements. i completed my most recent one this afternoon. i won't share it with you here because i plan to use part of it in an essay that will be published elsewhere. however, i'll share the one from '02.
here it is.
my environment and the issues that comprise my life
what i'm learning/doing now.
1. locations - we've finally settled down! our current residence has been home since august 2000. we have no plans to move any time soon.
2. people - i've "eliminated" several people from my life; some completely, others as much as possible, dealing with them on an as-needed basis.
3. material - for clothing, i now do about 90% thrift, 10% other (other is usually walmart, target, lot stores, etc. for items like underclothes and shoes--things impossible to find at the thrift). household is usually the $ store, sometimes the others. i'm letting go of the tendency to buy knick-knacks, partly because i no longer have space for them!
4. personal - i still haven't gotten into the pampering habit. manicures and pedicures are few and far between; hair appointments are more regular but still not regularly scheduled. facials -- ha! maybe one a year.
a work in progress...
