I am actually In the process of reassessing my goals for the upcoming year.  And I cannot wait to move forward and not stay in the same rut. 

I was going to write about the cross roads of my life but I decided to do something different.  I have to choose with road to go down.  I cannot ask for directions.  I have to way my options and just choose.  I make  informed decisions.  I have good judgement.  I need to learn to trust myself more.  I just noticed all the sentences began with I.  LOL.  So what.  I am the captain of my ship.

Current Issues:

• Car
• Moving out
• Graduate school
• Losing Weight

Stay tuned for upcoming posts on solutions to these issues.

Today reinforced the fact that it is time for me to leave the nest.  I am freaking 26 years old.  It also reinforces that I need to stop taking and put some things into action.  Also I have to buy a car.  Yuck on me.  I want a hybrid but it doesn’t look good.  I am going to settle for a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.  I am excited yet petrified.  What is I lose my job?  What if I cannot afford the payments?  I have to stop what if-ing it and just take the plunge and be done.

I believe in reclaiming my free time.  Which means I reclaim my Saturdays for once.

By protecting my mood.  My boss just arrived.

I have to rememeber Work Shouldn’t Hurt!! LOL.

My tax return has come back.  Yeah me!!!!  Kisses and Hugs.  I have decided to do a couple of things with it.

• Save $120 (which is a totally random amount)
• Pay off my citation which I was dreading
• And buy some much needed clothes and shoes (I have a conference coming up and I cannot afford to look shabby)  I won’t spend that much
• Optional pay for an eye exam or GRE (which is sad because i should put this above my clothes and shoes, but I am not.)
• I just want a pant, a shoe, and a couple of shirts

The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else’s lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin’ for?

I was just thinking of the lyrics to this song and how true they are.  The Little Mermaid was the first VHD I ever owned out right from a store.  My parents bought it for me when we moved back to the States.  I think it’s important to love where you at and not wish to be somewhere else.  That is not to say that you cannot go somewhere else, because life is rarely still.  What I am saying that when the time comes things will happen and change whether you set a goal for it or not.  I hope this all makes since.
