So, if all anyone judged me on was that, i would be the most vapid girl in the world. But, i like having a blog that is happy and fun and an escape. anyone that doesn't like it can go pound sand.<br />Anyway, i also thought i would let you know that i painted my kitchen cabinets (was a big pain, involved taking all the doors off and sanding, multiple coats, etc) and i changed the hardware and it feels like a new kitchen. it's a dramatic difference. Also, just this weekend, i replaced my kitchen faucet (which leaked horribly) and that alone has made me feel like a million bucks. Small changes can make all the difference.<br />Don't let anyone else get you down. As Mother Theresa said: you are exactly where you are meant to be..." and that means doing what you are meant to be doing. <br />take care and continue blogging because i love your blog,<br />Lindsey<br />PS Sorry that was so rambly.

I'm sorry that someone's comment jabbed you so sharply, but ironically, I think your response paints a clear and beautiful picture of all the things you're juggling (well!) on the eve of your 30th birthday! So, phltttt! to your anonymous naysayer, and keep faith in yourself and the friends and strangers who think you offer some glimmers of inspiration from your journey(s).Lorie Marshhttp://www.lostinsunshine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-84834097530538334502010-02-25T15:43:16.009-05:002010-02-25T15:43:16.009-05:00Fantastic response!!!

You have inspired me to do a lot of new things and open up more about my life. Like you stated we don't know everything about you, but from what I do know I think you are a genuine person. You spend your money the way you want to and that is all that matters. If someone wants to help you for your trip then good, for those who don't they just need to opt out and move on. Don't let the negative people get to you because for every one anonymous bozo, there are 100 others who like your blogs and think what you are doing is great!<br />Aisha-Aishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241767782492813400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-9765932787241697362010-02-23T17:08:44.692-05:002010-02-23T17:08:44.692-05:00Ughhhhhh.

You shouldn't have to defend yourself and I think it is very clear how you are doing everything you can to keep your expenses at a minimum. Also, I totally support your decision to go on this trip. <br /><br />I think that because you work and don't have to worry about living in a tent and have running water, you are allowed to manage your money the way you see fit and the best way you can considering all your expenses. If that person doesn't want to contribute to your trip, that's fine but that shouldn't keep you from fundraising and wanting to go!<br /><br />As I said, I support you in your decision to go and I will contribute financially as soon as I get a new job :) <br /><br />Hang in there, xoxox HUGS xoxoxFanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451339206120704951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-53925710771724322822010-02-23T16:51:14.730-05:002010-02-23T16:51:14.730-05:00Ignore them!

In fact I think you do a good job of describe things in your life that make you happy but you do with very little money (e.g your kitchen renovation, volunteering at the church and cleaning). I also admire you for dealing with the comment so head on by addressing it in your blog! <br /><br />Thanks for staying positive!Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364801443158238666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-44457454497610532592010-02-23T16:31:34.477-05:002010-02-23T16:31:34.477-05:00Suz, do NOT stress yourself out over people's ...Suz, do NOT stress yourself out over people's comments. We are able to get to know you thru your blog, but at the end of the day, it's merely a blog. People like that don't actually know you and your heart. Your money situation is your business and yours alone. If someone doesn't want to help you fundraise, so be it. But they should not use that as an excuse to judge something they know very little about. <br /><br />Hang in there.Akirahhttp://www.quarterlifelady.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-30578501000595835422010-02-23T16:18:32.409-05:002010-02-23T16:18:32.409-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jenthebeachbumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08753995311896417413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-72827281795735075962010-02-23T16:18:29.936-05:002010-02-23T16:18:29.936-05:00Oh Susan!

You made me tear up at work! :( You don't have to defend yourself at all to anyone, but I understand why you did and I'm glad you put it all out there for anonymous to see the real you. I don't understand passive aggressive comments like that. There was a gal I was following once, and I decided I didn't like her blog, so I just stopped following. <br /><br />Hugs, <br />JenJenthebeachbumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08753995311896417413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-60582304028959766722010-02-23T16:15:24.387-05:002010-02-23T16:15:24.387-05:00Hi Suz,
I am soooo sorry you have to put up with ...Hi Suz,<br /><br />I am soooo sorry you have to put up with anonymous B.S. I definitely would have been affected by the mis-informed comment as well. I love how people feel the need to comment on something they didn't fully read... Your post said who to make the check out to. Geez! <br /><br />Well, I, for one, think you are doing an exceptionally good job handling your current financial situation (and, I DON'T know you personally!) Could it be better? Maybe. But, it is extremely tough to not treat yourself to any "luxuries". We all still have to live... <br /><br />Maybe "anonymous" posts every single detail about their life out on the internet (although, I HIGHLY doubt it, if they are calling themselves "anonymous"...) but c'mon, who really thinks people put EVERYTHING out there for EVERYONE to read? <br /><br />Keep your head up. I think you are awesome (as I am sure MANY followers of yours do. . .) Don't let one "anonymous" idiot get you down! <br /><br />CarlyCarlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285503136920735998noreply@blogger.com
