Back To Blogging

I have been wanting to get back into blogging, but have been overwhelmed with busy schedule. But there is a new blogger in my blogosphere, my sister-in-law Becky, and she has spurred me into finally getting back into my blog.
So, I am going to come back with a confession: I covet stuff. I have come to the realization recently that I constantly want new stuff. I keep telling Michelle about all the things that I want to save for. I want to save for a new truck (2007 Toyota Tundra is what I want), a new telescope, a new computer, a new stand-up toolchest, a new LCD tv. I have the longest list of things that I want to save for. This is one of the things that bothers me the most about myself. I want to stop coveting. Its not like I am unhappy without this stuff; I don't go around all day thinking "If only I had a new tv I would finally be happy." But I do want it all. And I will always want something new. I got a new computer a while ago and about a month after I had it I wanted a new one. About 3 years ago, I bought my first car from an actual dealership, instead of a friend, and soon after that all I could think about was a new truck (which I am still thinking about). I am not blaming it on this culture (its mostly just my selfishness) but I think to some extent it is growing up in the Nintendo generation. I have grown up in the generation that has seen Beta, VHS, Laserdisk, DVD, and now HD-DVD and Blu Ray, and 5 generations of Nintendo. We are always being told that our things our out of date and that we have to replace them. So here I am always wanting something new. I hate it!
