To-Do Update

Not to long ago I posted a list of things I needed to get done, the post is right below this one. Though it felt like a lot, it was really more of a mental strain to think about. However, I completed most of it already and in one day. I am so thankful Christmas is over and I cannot wait for the new year! I don't have enough time to inform you on my goals for 2012 or what I got for Christmas and my birthday but you should definitely look forward to those posts very soon. I will show you my almost complete to-do list though!

1. Finish Christmas shopping
2. Get eye brows waxed
3. Get car detailed
4. Organize and put away record collection
5. Put belongings on eBay (example: purse, comics, and Tarmac)
6. Hang mirrors and pictures

Getting my car detailed is going to run me a pretty bill so I'm trying to put it off until I can afford it. However, my eBay dilemma is worse, I don't even know how to use it which sounds absolutely ridiculous and I know it. But, I don't want to put stuff on there not knowing what I'm doing and lose all my money. Because that would be tragic. So until I can find someone who knows what they're doing that will do it for me, I'll just wait.

I hope everyone had/has a Happy Holiday!

After actually sitting down and trying to write out a to do list I realize I really don't have as much shit to do as I thought. Lately I've been stressed over all the things I need to get done thinking that the list was a mile long when in all actuality it's really only a few minor things that can be completed in a day or two. That makes me feel a lot better. Thank you baby Jesus.

TLC's Geek Love. It's just too good! The fact that nerdy speed dating exists is amazing and I love it.

Nerd pride!

Fuck Yeah

I really need to get better

at this whole blogging thing. One of my goals for 2012 will be to post at least once a day. Maybe one photo a day or something of the sort. That could be exciting. However, until then I'm going to stress until December is over.

Truth

I am a workaholic.

I am constantly fighting to find the balance between work and play. Constantly trying to find where the scale meets even on selfless and selfish. I find more than ever that I pick up more shifts and open my schedule to more appointments so that I can constantly wish for a day off, for a vacation I can afford, or for a day I'm debt free. However I find that I continue to accumulate debt. I put one more item on my credit card, I buy a motorcycle, or I pay the minimum. I never take the time to put that extra 5 dollars into my savings account or double my payment in one month. I do feel like I don't give myself enough credit though. I always manage to have money for my bills, I always pay them on time, and I have no trouble telling myself "I can't afford this.", which ultimately makes me feel somewhat responsible for my actions and in some aspects I feel like an adult. But, I anticipate the day when I can start a retirement fund and relax because I won't have to worry about money again.

Someday...

Winning Attitude

This past weekend was my league, the Arizona Derby Dames, season opener. It was amazing to watch my sister skate in her very first game as a Runaway Bride. Especially when the Brides put her in the last jam of the game and it ended up being a power jam in which she scored 10 points! What a feat! I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. For those of you that don't know what a power jam is, it is when one jammer sits in the penalty box eliminating her team's opportunity to score points during that jam. During this time the team without the jammer makes it their goal to keep the pack fast so the jammer has less of an opportunity to score since it's harder to catch up. Though this can happen, the team with the jammer makes it their goal to keep one of the opposing players behind them therefore capturing control of the pack. All the possibilities! So much to do!

Anyway, next month on January 21st it's my team, the Schoolyard Scrappers, first game of the season. I cannot wait. These past couple of months have been really good for our team. We're finally working together and understanding when to act and what type of strategy to use. I have a good feeling about this season since we spent last season in last place. The Scrappers finally feel like a team again and there's nothing more comforting about that.

Reassurance

Today I moved most of my belongings back to my parents house. With how exhausted I've been with life lately I couldn't handle the suitcase life anymore. I need to be around the things that keep me sane, example: my books, my records, and my blanket. However, after moving all my stuff in, I don't know how I managed to fit everything in here before. My room is TINY! After realizing this it just reassured me that my goal of owning a home is my most important. There is nothing I want more than to have all of my belonging spread out in many places for everyone to see. My amazing book and record collection, my artwork, the little trinkets I've collected for years, everything that defines me. How exciting is that? I love it. Now if only I could win the lottery and speed up the process so I could just move in now.

I wish!

December: Quit Smoking

So since I failed my November goal miserably due to so much going on I've set an even higher goal for the month of December and altered my November. November was supposed to be about attending more practices and boot camps. Due to Groupon being absolutely ridiculous on how to redeem what you purchase I basically gave up on it. I attending all my mandatory practices and only one optional. Sad. I know. But I have a good excuse, if you even think excuses exist that is, I got a new job! Yay! I know. I recently started working at Precision Muscle Recovery in my field of Massage Therapy. I am so excited. I haven't officially had a massage job since I graduated last December due to the fact that I was unwilling to settle with just a spa job. However I was working as an Out-Call Therapist with a couple clients of mine. I've been working non stop between PMR, Boulders, and Derby so I haven't a lot of free time. However, getting this new job encouraged my want to quit smoking. I haven't officially bought a pack in a month and today is the official day of quitting! Yes! Go me!

So the goal of December is to not smoke at all. I haven't had one in days to begin with but this is my date of never again so here goes nothing!
