The people at work sometimes get me down. At least, a few I work with are talking about their appearance a lot. I don't think I am very attractive. I'm 39, but I'm graying and can't decide what to do about my hair. (Permanent or temporary color, salon or at-home). Also, I'm just not a fashion conscious person. Is that so bad? I'm also not very materialistic.

I'm resisting buying a cell phone. I don't own one and I don't want one. EVERYBODY has one around here. (Of course, I did buy a computer four years ago).

I'm really wanting to do some real good in this world, so I've signed up to volunteer with Head Start. I'm going to orientation next Wednesday. That should cheer me up. Doing something good for people always does.

I couldn't stand watching TV tonight because every show is about materialism or appearance. Anyone else feel this way?
