Paid my bills

I paid all my bills I haven't yet. When I went to Ross nothing tempted me. Today at TJMaxx I wanted EVERYTHING. They have a boot clearance sale which is dangerous for me. I have these ugly boots I wear in blizzard-like conditions. Now I can throw them away!!! I have new boots for that. They had a Cephalon wok for $39-it is perfect!!! I spent $160 there and I didn't need to do that. I kept thinking of picking something up to eat but I restrained myself and kept reminding myself I have a lot of food and snacks at home. I think I need specific financial goals. I'm not worried about every penny anymore BUT I really didn't need anything. I should've bought some broccoli. I didn't work out either. I ate some lunch upstairs and promptly fell asleep.

What's my problem??? I need sleep BUT NOT that much. I didn't make it to the temple. I got my registration in the mail. Time to see how much my car is going to cost me this time. INSTEAD of dropping a 160 on stuff I don't need I should've got my car checked out. Perhaps I'll do that tomorrow.

There are so many things I need to work on. Monday the CVLA is having their big reveal of our new officers to our nominating committee at Stevens-Henager College. I'm just going to serve people a snack and ice with my new favorite key lime carbonated water on ice. First I was thinking of sandwiches but I don't need to be that elaborate since there are just a few of us and we're just meeting for the election results. I can use the rest of my cream puffs and oreos and my left over ginger snaps then all I need to do is buy some carbonated water and ice for Monday. We only have 5 on our committee anyway. That'll be a dollar expense!!! OK no a $2 expense since it'll cost for the ice. OR!!! I can make my own ice from the trays I have in my freezer, throw the ice in a plastic container and make more. That'll be more than enough for our group of 5. If I just take my fountain to work I can use that AND only pay for the carbonated water which is just a dollar!!! I think I'll do that.

I decided NOT to just spend money irresponsibly. I keep deciding that but then I do something else. I just need vegetables now. I'm going to make a couple goals for myself. My first is to NOT eat out anywhere until I get paid again on the 20th. The next is to ONLY buy fruit and veggies from the grocery store, soap AND the carbonated water. NOOO diet Dr. Pepper or diet Coke. Workout, eat at home AND be social with my own ward. So if I meet these financial goals I will buy my flatscreen on the 20th. I'll hook up cable when I get the printed MBA. In the meantime I'm going to have additional copies of my diplomas sent so I can frame these and display them in my library with my medical consumer librarian certification. My boss will like that.

Forcing myself to be social with the Cache Singles Group is harder than doing it with my ward. My ward isn't as difficult but I know I need to do it. My fingertip that is dried out is the one I use on my laptop mousepad. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

I like my new dentist. I'm going to get a crown on one of my teeth I don't like. He told me something about the enamel not forming right. I saw my orthodontist first which was not good since I already have appliance trays ordered which were fitted against my current teeth without the crown. I told the dentist about my concerns and he is going to coordinate with my orthodontist.

I need to draw up my Zumba plans. I have my eating and workouts planned in my head. At the end of March I want to lose enough weight to get certified and begin teaching BUT if I don't like how I look yet I'll move that to June. If I meet my financial, physical, AND spiritual goals by my second check in March I'll buy my sectional. When I lose weight I won't need to buy a lot. I have an entire business wardrobe in Salt Lake.

I know I am filling my life with the good things I want to fill it with, BUT I know that I need to get married too. I like working that stuff out here too but while letting all that out here on the internet is therapeutic, it also doesn't keep it sacred like my journal does.

That's something else I'm changing.
