Goals

Put it down on paper - err, the Internet?

Here are my goals for 2010:

Start a vinyl collection
Purchase this new album for said collection.
Lost 15 pounds (see previous post).
PDX!!!!!
FINALLY pay off the credit card from hell.
Purchase a new car.
Go on lots of road trips with her face.
Redecorate my bedroom.
Finish Sopranos and LOST.
Learn to paint.
Teach Margot to roll over.
Ride bikes.
Learn to swim.

It's a good start.

6 weeks

Last Wednesday I gave up alcohol and sweets (candy, cookies, ice cream, brownies, etc.) for Lent. This is going to be a loooonnnggg 40 days (don't forget Sundays! I swear I'm not going to cheat on Sundays).

In addition to giving up everything that makes me happy, I am going to work out Monday - Thursday for 6 weeks.

My goal? To lose 2 pounds a week for grand total of 12 pounds - 15 if I'm really lucky.

Here we go, y'all.

Snow Day!

It snowed today! Almost ALL day! Unfortch, it didn't stick. But it's supposed to keep up all night.

Something about those white flakes falling from the sky that makes everyone feel like a kid again. I stood outside my building with my mouth wide open trying to taste the snow.

Tonight, I am staying in doing laundry, watching my stories, eating with my boy, and enjoying the rest of the snow falling from the sky.

SNOW!

this place

i like this place i'm in right now. it's nice and cozy.

i'm not completely insecure. i'm not trying to win back the man i thought i loved. i'm not completely devestated that he doesn't love me back. i'm not so stressed at with work that i can't even enjoy the time i'm not there. i don't feel completely alone and that the world is against me. i'm not any of the things i was about 2 years ago.

see that girl in the picture up top? even though i was having a grand ol' time dancing with some of my favorite dance partners, i was one scared little girl.

today, i'm with someone who loves me just as much as i love them. i'm confident in who i am and starting to be confident in who i want to be. my work is good. although, i do wish i had a job that was more fullfiling and one that i was a bit more passionate about. i'll find that dream job one day. i love coming home to my precious pup and my wonderful boyfriend. i have the MOST fabulous friends in the world. things are just good.

hey, my credit card may not be paid off, and my checking/savings account isn't exactly where i'd like it to be, but i know it'll get there. i'll lose these extra TEN POUNDS i gained. it'll al happen. it's all happening.

i love my life and everyone in it.

Hi.

WHAT?! Almost TWO months have gone by since my last post? Geeezzzz. Well the holidays happened.

I ate, partied, loved, welcomed, and had fun a million.

I'm pretty happy to see January go. I'm never a fan of that month. It's so depressing. Holiday hangover. It's damp, cold, and dark outside. Annndddd I was pretty much a bitch the entire month. Thankfully my cat doctor gave me some new meds that will hopefully make me not feel like a raging lunatic.

Today was the first day of February, and it was a pretty fantastic day.

I suppose a few good things happened in January:

Emily and I rededicated our Monday nights to The Bachelor.
Aaron and I set a date for our Portland trip in May.
We got Netflix.
Finally decided on curtains I like for my living room.
Decided that I am going to buy a new car once my credit card is paid off.
Did my taxes.
Hung out with my Lyd for an entire Saturday before she moves to New York.
Got an iPhone - WWWHHHAAAATTT?!?!
Ate at India's almost every day.
Chopped off my hair.
Said goodbye to The Late Show with Conan O'Brien. Tear.
Started working out again.
And my college roomie, JULES!, did this for me:
