Some of it is a little more than things, but not usually. The worst of it is, I really don't want to be someone who values things - I think emotional happiness and spirituality are so much more important. I guess I just have to convince myself of that. I was thinking about hosting a tastefully simple party, then changed my mind because I don't want all those people over until I get new carpet in the entry. Why do I care so much?? I have no idea.
