My walls are decked out with pictures of friends, family (as well as a gremlin) and cards from summer staff and groups that I have worked with at camp. I even have my own stapler! I have a house and picked up paper towels, milk, and bread the last time I ran to the store. I pay my bills and change my oil when I need to.
