Essentials versus nonessentials...

Kelly Love Johnson

Thursday, May, 29, 2008

A friend recently blogged about Donna Wilkinson’s book, The Only 127 Things You Need: A Guide to Life’s Essentials, and it got me thinking about the things that I need. The book has things like: 8 glasses of water a day, a little black dress, a firm mattress, great sheets, a regular schedule, five servings of vegetables a day, and 100-plus other things that you’d think would cover all the bases. My friend shared her list of things that are not in the book and I realized that I have my own list of very specific things I cannot live without (OK, I can live without them, I just don’t want to). I think we all have lists like these. A few of mine:

I won’t DIE if I don’t have these things, but they do make my life better so they are “essentials” to me. How about you? Care to share your essentials list?

Not too many!

Not unless you have 127, which is how many they list in the book. I have a sonic toothbrush, laptop, and contact lenses on mine too. My essential DVD collection, however, is not SATC. It is every single damn season of Family Guy. But I do have the good sense to be embarrassed about it.
