I bought a skinny jean! It’s cute. I’ve gotten compliments.
It hasn’t hit my bank account yet, but when I look online I see “my car loan application” paired with a “0.00”—and that’s close enough for me :)
I turned off the highway to get gas, and there was a homeless woman sitting in the rain with her wilted cardboard sign. I gave her my umbrella, and she told me I was the first person she’s ever seen to think of that. While I don’t think the latter is really true, it felt good to help keep someone out of the weather.
I went out and bought a hairdryer. The weather is finally starting to drop and I think I should avoid becoming an icicle when I step outside the door this season.
The problem is that blowdrying my hair makes it even frizzier. I don’t get it. I can put it on the low setting, or the warm(not hot) setting, and it will still poof. This is exactly why I have avoided the blowdryer for so long- but all the other females in the world seem to manage it… My hair can’t be that unique. Soooo… wth? Just annoyed :P
Signed up to volunteer at the nearby hospital’s charity run. Hope to run it myself next year :)
While at the vending machines today after a 2+hr class one of my classmates gave me an orangeade. I hadn’t had breakfast so it was greatly appreciated alongside some crackers I bought. I gave my extra change to a girl who was counting pennies behind me, and I hope to bring my classmate a Dr. Pepper on Monday(which is what he was trying to get in the first place).
It’s getting cold again. I didn’t have a heavier winter jacket so I splurged and got one. Also found a casual dress for $10 in Target’s clearance rack.
Mixed feelings about spending the money :P Harrumph.
loungewear! (so comfy)
new cooking experiments!
wrapping presents (it’s fun for me, lol)
Potentially lower car insurance!
Being so close to paying off my car I can taste it.
Getting back on track in school.
The feeling of change.
..... and as always, cute & cuddly puppies. <3
My schedule is rather regular now, but I think I’d like to be up just a bit earlier in the mornings. I haven’t gotten to the part where I wake up, work out, and then do classes- and that sounds like the best plan.
No cake, no ice cream, pastries, cookies, you name it! It hasn’t been a full week yet, but I’m going strong and don’t have much for cravings. When I do get cravings, I try to pick something that is a little sweet but more healthy (ie. fruit, instant breakfast) or even go back for seconds on my actual meal. I’m not sure how much that latter choice is helping, but at least it’s keeping me out of the cookie jar :)
EDIT: M made creamcheese cookies tonight. FML.
Now I’m down to $1300, plus interest. I’m hoping I can get rid of it before the new year comes around. That would be an awesome Xmas present from me to me :)
It appears I can only go a week at a time with this so far :) I find something to celebrate and push this goal to the side. I have a PT test this coming month, though, so I know I’ll get this done!
Edit: Beginning personal challenge :)
This filthy cheater had a piece of chocolate bundt cake last Saturday. Looks like I’m pushing this back a bit! But that’s ok. I’m trying to get the boy into this habit as well(wish me good luck, I’ll need it) and I can’t very well do that whilst stuffing my own face.
Type an idea in, swap until you find one you like.

Vocabulary expansion! Gets kinda challenging toward the end, too.
Louie
Louis C.K. – Chewed Up (largely funny, but some was a bit much for me)
The Wedding Planner (I think this is on every time I’m in a hotel. Strange!)
HIMYM ssn 5
Mad Men ssn… something.
Breaking Bad (just started. dramatic, but cool)
There’s the challenge. I knew I would find it somewhere.
I turn to Netflix(or TV in general) when I am down and simply want to disengage. I discovered this the other day when I was in a foul mood and responded by promptly eating a bunch of crappy food and staying up all night watching Louie on Netflix.
It is a generalization, as I do watch movies and such during socialization when I am perfectly content. Associating TV with relaxation, however, has led to TV binges when I’m less than pleased with something. An escape. Only there is no real escape from the things that bother me, so I just keep watching…
Ugh. It’s understandable, and everyone has their own form of escape, but I kind of disgust myself. But that’s what change is for, yes?
