  setting laptop to go to sleep more often did not work as i had to keep unsleeping it... so that setting is back to how it was. :(

today i decided to return a casserole dish that was too big. when i got to the store, i found out they didn't take returns, so i was just going to donate it, but they said i could exchange, so i found some jars i need for food storage, but i did NOT browse for anything else, which i would have done in the past. i'm really working on needs vs. wants. i have a lot of wants!

  Nice job, Katy! You're inspiring me because I have a pair of pants that I bought that I am debating whether to return or not, and I'm thinking now I should!
