Am I Frugal or Fanatic: Seeking Balance

[Liss]

A woman after my own heart. Gosh I wish you lived here in So. Cal with me
so we could be friends.

Im not as good as you on drying on a wood clothes
dryer, but in my area people are so extravagant. None and I mean none of my
friends used cloth diapers with their children, I was the first to have a
kid of all my friends and the one and only to use cloth diapers and god
forbid wash them myself without having a diaper service come out!! they
thought i was so granola crunchy for that!!

isnt that ridiculous. i am the
only one i know that cooks from scratch every day 3 times a day and they are
so amazed with me as if Im from another planet. Growing my own stawberries
and green onions and lettuce (nothing crazy, thats it) they were all
flabbergasted.

Buying my organic fruit & vegetables, hormone free meat,
wild salmon(farm raised bad bad bad), they are all amazed. “You eat
oatmeal in the morning, the instant kind right?” Give me a break people,
the regular healthy rolled oats just take 5 minutes in the microwave.
Making my own salad dressings, wow what a spectacular event.

They ohhh and
awwwww but never quite make the transition to a more wholesome life. And
making my own pizza crust!! Holy cow, can that be done??

Is the look on
their face. Which is why I love this list so much, there are so many great
people wanting to eat better and be more wholesome. This is the only place
I can go to get some good examples of bettering myself and my family.

Anyways, dont question who you are and all the great wholesome things you
do. If you are ready to make your life a little easier to once in a while
use paper plates, then go ahead. As long as youre ready to do so.

You do
so many good things that once in a while you can do things that make your
life easier. Dont use the disposable plates and napkins if its going to
make you lose part of yourself. Anyways I’ll get off my box.
