How do you keep yourself down to earth??

I knew this was going to be an entertaining thread from the title.

Me, I try and stay away from airports and planes, hotair ballons, hang gliders... I'm white and can't even jump very high.....

I keep my feet on the ground and my eye on the real prize: Ken. My family. My friends.

Plus I think my BYC friends help with that too.

I call those people 'security blankets', or the objects anyway. It's become a vice - a security blanket - if it's not there, right there, next to them, they can't handle it. I once saw a restaurant with SEVEN iphones for 6 people, all of them chatting on FB (with one spare? no idea it was just there) about where they were but not talking much to each other. It was depressing, but that's how people are with security blankets I suppose.

It's up to them. They can run around and be materialistic, I am a little too - we all have our things. I just know that sometimes the best things in life are soaking in a creekbed with a friend and a tree rope, having lunch on a sunny day with old cheese and fresh bread or taking the dog in the backseat for a drive through the country.

I keep myself down to earth because I think about all of those people who are materialistic, addicted to electronic gadgets, who spend tons of money at the mall on on $500.00 purses, $300.00 shoes, $200.00 bottles of perfume, eat out every day (when they really can't afford it), brag on everything that they think will impress others, think that it's all about them and I think how I would rather not be around those people. I put myself in their shoes and the shoes DO NOT fit. Besides, I'm too cheap to waste my money on stuff like that. What ya see is what ya get with me. No phony bologny. Just simple ole' me.

I will tell you that when we get married, I may spend $50 on a dress, but I am gonna go all out on the shoes. It is all about the shoes the second time around.
