How I did it
How to eat better
It took me
1 year
It made me
happy tummy!

How I did it: Eating better to me was more of a trying to eat less processed foods, more vegetables, and less junk goal than about watching my weight, my calorie intake or any of that stuff (really, I am just too lazy).   We had been eating a lot of chips (which often ended up as dinner...), cup noodles, canned noodles, actually it was pasta and tomato sauce everyday for a while.  When I moved out, Gaelen and I moved in with another couple in… Read how I did it…

How to take tupperware to restaurants and use a travel coffee mug when i get coffee
It took me
1 year
It made me
happy!

How I did it: Clearly this is an ongoing goal, but I've gotten myself into the habit of either having my mug and getting a coffee (which is rarely, life is wonderful when you're a college student and can't afford delicious Starbucks) or not getting one at all.  And when I do go to a restaurant, usually it's planned for so I can grab my tupperware on the way out, or I just make sure to order just enough so I can finish whatever I got.  Read how I did it…

How to find an apartment
It took me
2 months
It made me
happy!

How I did it: Craigslist!  Right now we're living with another couple and I'm going insane.  Our lease doesn't end until August, so we've compromised and will be moving into our new place (around the corner!!) in July, so I only have two more months to stick it out.  Finally!  No more slammy doors, no more recycling in the garbage, no more "backyard brought to you by tobacco."  Read how I did it…

increase my online presence
I'm really bad at sticking with online journals

and blogs and the like, but I feel it’s really important for me to do, especially as a freelancer (can I call myself that yet? something I’m working on). I want and need to be noticed for my skills, and I want and need to build a following to support me and pass along my name. But I also need it to be completely seperate from my personal life, and my personal online presence – one reason I am paying money for a professional email – because I am totally not comfortable with putting it all out there and I think that’s okay.

figure it out (read all 2 entries…)
Marking this as done for now...

I’m generally working towards a goal, am wonderfully lucky to have G supporting me (in every way, really O.o), and while I’m not totally cool with it, there’s really no way around it right now. I’m pulling my weight in housecleaning and such, hopefully. But, I don’t feel completely lost anymore, just a little useless…
