10 Things...
So you caught me on a depressed day... When that little voice inside is criticizing me, it's usually for one of these things. Thankfully, they are things that I can change (for the most part). Yes, some of them are petty/trivial... but who can reason with the voice?!
In no particular order...
1. Lose Weight. A full 80lbs is required to get me to the top of the health range. This may require joining Overeater's Anonymous.
2. Become more active (scheduled exercise and other activities). Actually use the Bally's membership that I'm paying for. Find a exercise buddy if necessary
3. Finish my degree and expand my frame of reference to things outside of Television, Movies, the Internet and Pop Culture. Read the classics, study history and politics to gain a better grasp of the world around me.
4. Take up Spanish and music again and learn to cook and dance.
5. Get a handle on finances. Get a second job and start to save for the future.
6. Get counseling for Post Traumatic Church Disorder.
7. Go back to church. Get involved in some type of ministry.
8. Volunteer to help in a project I'm interested in... and one I'm not particularly interested in.
9. Learn to dress (Any one is welcome to submit my name to "What Not To Wear!"
10. Learn to communicate with the opposite sex and yes... Find a man to marry! :) (or at the very least, drug somebody rich and pretty in Vegas and live off the alimony :)

okay doll.. i know we've spoken since and you're not in the same depressive mood, but...
start with 4, 6, the first part of 7. take adult education classes to build your confidence, your circle of friends, as well as your knowledge and love of life. this will help 3 and possibly 10. go to church and counseling to heal your soul.. leave the last part of 7 until that is further dealt with.
1 and 2 go together. don't worry about 9 until you've dealt with them - you won't be happy otherwise. when you are feeling shitty and depressed, it's the perfect time to exercise and push thru it. if that is every day, so be it. get pissed off at yourself and work thru it by being healthy. you'll start to feel better. if you don't want to get out of the house to exercise, buy a program to work through at home... spending money on a membership that you aren't using will just make you more unhappy and unenthused to go out.
5.. heh. i'm still trying to figure that one out for myself. but for starters, get a good program like quicken and start keeping track of everything you spend and where it goes. you'll be able to figure out which areas in which you need to spend less. don't worry about 8 until you've dealt with this, at least to a degree.
Thanks to you both!
Some of these issues have kind of worked themselves out in the past few weeks.
First, I have the new PT job and roommate to share expenses with. After doing a couple calculations in excel, I figured out that I can pay off the rest of my CC debt by mid-May and my car by August or September. The only things left after that are my living expenses, the vacation club I stupidly signed up for when I had a bit of money, and my student loans. After that I'm saving up for a house y'all!
2. The PT job has tuition reimbursement and I'm still thinking of going back for a class or two at PennState Online... Will have more tuition reimbursement through FT job in November as well...
3. Will not have much time to cook or shop with new work so will probably get nutrisystem diet meals or similar... Savings on bad grocery choices that end up spoiling anyway.
4. Roommie Portia also needs to lose weight, so I think I can convince her to go to the gym with me, or at least excercise. :)
It's not everything... but it's something! :)
LOL!
You'll have to tell me more about what the RSS thing does...
Too much work! LOL
Maybe in a couple of weeks I'll take a look at it! :)
