get out of debt
so close I can almost touch it 15 months ago

I’ve been working my rear off this summer to be able to pay back all debts. It’s so close I can almost touch the debt-free state now. Just a little bit more, a little bit more, then it’s over!



eat less sugar
Sugar, no thanks 15 months ago

I realized today that, without thinking of it, I have started eating less and less sugar. Mostly because I can’t afford buying candy, all the money goes to food. But yesterday I felt rich and bought two chocolatebars, just to celebrate I quit my job and am starting a new one tomorrow. They were the first candies I bought in two and a half months and I ate one of them today, but it didn’t taste that well. I made myself eat the whole bar, because I don’t like to throw away anything still edible, and now I regret I bought two. The second bar is still in my bag, and I don’t feel like eating it. Ever.

A tip to those trying to eat less sugar: when the cravings strike, have a banana. Or apple. the bananas saved my summer and sugarlevel.



Read more books
bookaholic 18 months ago

“Hi I’m Irian and I’m a bookaholic” .I love love love books and can’t get enough of them. Every time I’m downtown I go to the two major bookstores just to be in the presence of books. It’s so refreshing! But I have to keep my hands in my pockets, if I don’t do it a book might get stuck to them and I have to buy it :). Recently it’s been a battle of wills, my stomach’s will against my book-will, do I want to eat properly, or do I want to starve but be one book richer?
The thing that disturbs me most is that the majority of the books I buy just collect dust in the shelf. I haven’t read half of all the books that I own and it disturbes me. Some of the books I even got because I’ve read them a long time ago and I thought they were great, like the Lord of the Rings. Last time I read them was about 5-6 years ago… then, after I’d read them I bought the books. Haven’t opened the new books. (yet)

But I decided to do something about it! So when I go visit my parents and relatives I’ll bring only books I haven’t read. I do hope it will work.
