apparently....

this will be a monthly blog?

I will try to aim for weekly. a lot happens in my life and after a month, well things get confusing.

so...saw new moon on my birthday with Lisa! awesome! minus the like 9 year old boys behind us, clearly dragged by the rest of the family, who were talking super loud!!

the boyfriend got laid off.

I turned 26.

I think those are all the major points. lol.

I am not a fan of the holidays this year. I skipped thanksgiving with my family to spend it with his because I thought his sister and her kids were going to be down and we see them like 1 or 2 times a year, but they came early and left before then. so that sucked, because apparently this is one of the first years in a long time that it was just family. no neighbors, no church people, just family. kinda bummed about that.

not looking forward to christmas. well, not looking forward to the travelling for christmas. maybe i will skip christmas with his family this year and just watch movies with my parents or something nice and quite. who knows at this point.

I finally got my christmas cards out. that took some time. but they are done, except for two because I haven't gotten address from them yet.

I guess it's a little bit early. but i'm thinking about my goals for this next year. one is to find a job that I can afford to work at. I like my job but I just don't work enough hours and don't get paid enough to survive off it. that will be interesting to tackle when it comes time to talk with the boss about that. a second goal of mine is to use my time more wisely. I have cut back on the facebooking, but I'm still on the computer a lot. I need to be more productive this next year, especially if I really want to get my business off the ground. In fact I'm going to make a plan. I have already gotten new business cards, actually cards. step two would be to re-vamp the website, step three go through what I have left and pick what to sell and what to reuse. step four, some kind of productivity plan for the new year. then of course stick to the plan and get some sales. I would love to expand my avon business, but I'm thinking in the new year I might just have to let it go completly. we will see. I need to quit a bad habit for good. and seriously get on the exercise wagon.

I also need to throughly go through my stuff and get rid of things. I am a pack rat. I have a problem. I am sort of materialistic, but only when it comes to certain things, and not all the time. I'm weird. If I can get certain brand stuff that I like, like harajuku lovers bags and perfume, I do, but then I use purses I get from Avon. and I have one coach bag. and a pair of coach rainboots. avon shoes and payless shoes. I used to use mac makeup and bare minerals but now I'm avon. anyway kind of drifted away from my point....which was I have too much stuff. I should seriously hold a garage sale. I would probably make a ton. the problem I have is that most of the stuff I horde has sentimental value and that is why it's hard for me to detach myself from it. I will have to stop putting value in things. I have an idea! I will take pictures of all the things that mean a lot to me but I don't use. that way I can always look back on them and see the objects and remember the feelings but not have them sitting on a shelf gathering dust! I'm a genius! not really but it's a good idea. :P

I will also try to do a better job on here, not that anyone reads my blog, but for my own personal whatever...lol.
