Where Are Those Money Trees I Keep Hearing About?

Money trees. I've heard of them. Unfortunately, the statement says that money doesn't grow off of them. But there are other awesome things in life like ice cream cones, bulk sized Nutella jars, endorphins, little nieces and little nephews, Jesus (let me shout from the rooftops that those are NOT in order of awesomeness). So.....why can't there be money trees?

I'm moving in a couple of weeks. So, I'm starting to think about all the stuff I'm going to need. I've actually recently pretended to be a grown up, and bought a red couch (label Broyhill...not a plastic tupperware couch....I say that because I feel like all the things I've ever bought for my living situation have been plastic....you know, dorm years). Wow. I. Am. On. My. Way. But what about everything else I have to buy? A coffee table. Lamps. The shelf that goes in the bathroom. A shower curtain. A rug. Utensils. Coasters. Dish soap. "Dish soap! Oh, well that's only $2", you say. As we all know, things add up. I realize this, I'm a math teacher. But that quickly? Hm...what can I go without for the longest.....lamps or dish soap? A rug or an apple peeler?

I want to conclude with a few statements.

1) I'm pretty psyched about my new apt. I'd love to have you over. But only if you think you can survive, apple-peeler-less.

2) Just reiterating that we should totally use hugs and high fives for payment.

3) Jesus is more awesome than those money trees I have yet to find. So, it's cool. But again, when you're over just make sure you hold your drink the whole time because there will be no coasters and NO YOU DON'T make rings on my coffee table. Oh wait, it'll be plastic, forget that.
