Attachment to Stuff

Hello Everyone:

A quiet and slightly warmer day today.  I was able to get some housework done and now I have some free time.  I just emailed the bf to find out how things were going and where his been.  I'm turning into the psycho, stalker girlfriend, I just want to know if everything is alright.  Simple enough.  I haven't seen him in awhile and the last I heard, something came up and he had to stay where he was.  He didn't elaborate what it was.  I just hope it wasn't serious.  Anyway, in the meantime, I've been keeping myself occupied with other things.  I've started thinking about the things that populate my life.  The things that make me happy, like a favorite product or service. I've been asking myself why did I stop using this product or service and the only answer I have is that some publication said that something else, something more expensive, was better.  What I've found is that price does not equal quality in all cases.  These publications have a job to do, sell images.  Sell people on the idea that if you use this product or use this service your life will be better.  It's hogwash.  To be fair, there certain brands that I've grown to love.  Others not real loyalty whatsoever.  Perhaps it's because I don't any real attachment to them.  Is it possible to feel attached to a bottle of shampoo?  Yes, I hate to admit it but it's quite true.  Strange how we become attached to seemingly random things that have no meaning.  a bottle of shampoo is just a bottle of shampoo, right?  Does it really matter if it costs six or sixty dollars?  Not really.  Same goes for other things.  It's silly but I guess this part of the growing up process.
