I'm doing 36 things
I finished the Old Testament a few months ago. Hallelujah! Now, I’m in the middle of Luke and am beginning to lose my steam. It seems most of the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) are very similar and that gets me stuck bc it starts sounding redundant. Luke does seem to have a lot more detail to it and stuff, but I’m also at that point where I want to start reading fiction for fun again. That being said, I guess it’s time to finish it.

I then had to choose if I wanted the money to be targeted toward an ivy-league, private, state, or community college education. I chose a private institution, so I would be prepared in case my children want to go to a private school. I don't want them to limit th… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I made up my mind to be done for good. I imagined myself 50 years from now if i continue smoking, and then i imagined myself 50 years from now if i quit smoking and decided which life i would prefer. Then i stuck with it. When i felt like smoking, i would pray for strength to not smoke. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I go to church every sunday. I listen to the Christian channel on the radio. I went to a Christian mother's group and made friends who are Christian.

I’m back to 145. I’m having a hard time getting under 140. Some days, i just feel like giving myself permission to eat what i want. I need to stop doing that and start regulating what I eat. Anyway, it is what it is.
I graduate in May. Last year’s research project/moving to a new area stuff was probably the most stressful of all my educational years, but this final semester is wearing me out….i’m at the point now where i want to be done and over with college….I have an extreme case of senioritis. I want to be done now. I’m glad i’m almost done. I will be on the other side shortly. And then the celebration begins. :-)
