The Junk Drawer that is My Life

Right now my life feels like one big junk drawer.  I can't get organized and I have so many things going on that I can't keep my days straight. My whole life is one big hamster on a wheel metaphor. The more I try to get done, the more overwhelmed I become. On top of everything, the cost of gas is going out of control, causing me to be more efficient so I don't end up driving my life savings away in the next few months. I don't know anyone who isn't scared to death about the economy and more and more people are being pink slipped.  Rents are rising, companies are downsizing and today I heard on the news that we have a flour shortage which means the cost of bread, pizza and baked goods are rising (no pun intended).  The bad news is that I won't be able to afford all of the foods that sustain me on a daily basis, but the good news is that I will probably loose a lot of weight in the interim.

Tonight I tried to log on to Oprah's save the world with Eckhart Tolle, but even that didn't work so I gave up after ten minutes (I later heard that the whole world had the same problem, so it was not just me getting zapped with bad karma).  Being the optimist that I am, I plan on downloading it tomorrow and listening to it on my ipod.  I seriously need all the help I can get, and if anyone can help me, Oprah can. Maybe she can send me a pair of the Christian Louboutin shoes she wears every day cause Lord knows, a seven hundred dollar pair of shoes would really lift my spirits.
