I'm doing 38 things
My mom came from Mexico for six months last year. She went to every possible garage sale going on and bought as much crap as possible. Of course putting all the blame on her is all too easy. I also did my own old books garage shopping and other useless stuff (the books will not be useless if I actually read them). I also got some clothes a friend gave me for me to give to some clients but I have not gotten to it. I had enough since disorganization puts my life upside-down. This last weekend, September 20-something I finally gathered about 15 bags and took them to Good-will. Now I have to organize the garage in sections (clothes, tools, toys, etc) and I will hopefully make it to have a garage sale this weekend. I cannot wait to feel my life in order, I feel stressed and out of control!!

How I did it: First, I decided I could no longer keep my old car. I also made up my mind that I had to get a Japanese car, no matter how much I wanted a fancy car, I was not going to get an American car since Japanese car are more durable and depreciate less.I also knew that I wanted a compact car because of the gas mileage and my lifestyle; it is just me and my son.My sister insisted that I should get an SUV but I stayed firm. My sis is not very… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I am from Mexico. I married a U.S. citizen and we lived in Mexico for about 6 years. I initially had no intentions of moving to the U.S. so I did not file immigration paperwork right after the marriage. My dream then was to practice corporate law in Mexico. I petitioned for legal residence probably after 3 or 4 years in the marriage. Shortly after I became a legal permanent resident and I graduated law scho… Read how I did it…
I get to the office and read all my e-mails. I check my hotmail account several times during the day. Facebook also.
I think of a topic and check it on the internet for quite some time.
I also do work but at the end of the day I am unhappy because when I do things I am not supossed to do my conscience shows me that I am not being productive and it is an odd feeling. I checked on new and used cars yesterday since I am thinking of buying a car. I also checked on cruises because I am thinking of going in one. I am bored out of my mind lately with the horrible weather and dealing with a lazy ex who wont get a job for almost two years and pay some darn child support! asshole!
Okay, what was the topic? oh yes, me wasting my time. There you have it another waste on time about something that is not within my control.
I have also been watching a lot of TV at home and chatting on the internet.. nice. :(!
I hate this topic because I know I am not doing well on this.
I do start tables on Excel for tracking my expenses, but I do not follow through.I will do my Excel sheet gain in a few minutes.
I know I have been spending money on going to Starbucks, buying facial lotions, cellulite lotion, eyes lotions, eating out too much cause I am too lazy to cook. :(
I have had times when I did follow through with my expenses and planning and I felt in control. I hate feeling like this, so powerless. :(
