Look at that baby! Okay, so it's not a great picture, but Steven refuses to take pictures of me with my child, so I had to do it myself to prove that I am a part of her life.
I go back to school one week from today. Mixed emotions about that.
I am filled with restlessness for positive changes. I want to do so many things to make myself healthier, happier, and smarter with money. I want to start doing at least 30 minutes of something athletic, and 30 minutes of something creative/artistic every single day. I want to have better will power when it comes to money. I want to give up drinking pop (kind of). However, if I try to take on all these goals, they are not going to happen. So I decided to take a week at a time. For example, perhaps next week I will commit to going without carbonated drinks for one week. At the end of that week, I can reevaluate and see if I want to do it again. If I lasted a week, I can maybe go for another. Or next week I might say, "This week, I am not going to spend any money on food (besides good old fashioned groceries)."
What are your strategies for goal-setting and accomplishing? | | |
| So I think I'm going to go back to work a week early. It would be the week of Fall Break, so I'd only have to go 3 days. That way I could kind of ease my way back into that routine. But that would be ONE week from today! Am I ready for that?! I feel like I have completely forgotten how to do what I did at school.
I've also been thinking more and more about going back to get my master's maybe next year. I'm ready to move it on up. I won't stop til I am the PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD'S EDUCATION! Not really . . . but I don't like just staying the same. I want to be working towards something always. Which brings me to this next topic -
Dress. My school's dress code is extremely casual. I think the administration wants it to be more professional, but they don't enforce it, so nobody does it. I certainly don't . . . although I have been pregnant for the past year, so I wore the same tent-like apparel everyday (I also wore Croc flipflops with every single outfit).
I am not opposed to dressing nice. It actually makes me feel more efficient. I just need some motivation. I've been thinking of the phrase "Don't dress for the job you have. Dress for the job you want." So maybe I should dress a little nicer. Here's the dilemma though . . .
My current wardrobe is VERY casual. It consists of solid t-shirts and jeans and well, that's about it. The dressy things that I do have are completely isolated from everything else - for example, I have a fancy skirt that has no shirt or shoes to go along with it, therefore I do not wear it. So I feel like I need a brand new wardrobe if I'm going to turn over this new dress code leaf. I am TERRIBLE at shopping also. I do not see the big picture . . . which is why I have random dressy things that go with nothing. I've decided to just go to some of those dress clothes stores like Express or Banana Republic, and buy an outfit off the mannequin. That way I KNOW that it goes together.
I guess I should just invest in some basics, but I'm frightened! | | |
| next time you drink a root beer, think, "liquid donuts" . . . just do it. | | |
| so, i watched all the "it's always sunny in philadelphia" episodes on hulu.com . . . so now i'm on to "arrested development". love it. everyone on there is a genius. michael cera must be like 13-14 when he started on that show, and he's got impeccable timing! | | |
| every once in awhile it hits me . . . the itch. the itch to chop all of my hair off and dye it some crazy color. this week i went to the salon and got my frumpy hair shaped up a bit, and got some darker blonde weaved through it to help my poor inch long roots blend in.
i like it. but i don't love it. it's nothing special. and sometimes you want to be special . . . like when you've felt like a frumpy pregnant lady for 9 months.
so i've been sifting through old pictures trying to decide if it's worth the risk to cut off my hard-earned tresses just to have a fresh look. but i don't want to become one of those girls that is stuck in their hair either.
the truth is there is good pictures and bad pictures of me with every length of hair - so i can't really judge by those. everyone has good and bad hair days.
i think right now i'm just really wanting a new look to go with my new . . . everything. | | |
