Well shit....Sometime last year I wrote out all the areas of my life which could use improvement, which pretty much ended up being my whole life. But of course I lost that list, so I will have to do it again.

I have so many issues to sort through in order to become the person I want to be, I really don't know where to begin.

1. money situation- SAVE MONEY
1. retirement plan 
2. pay off old navy balance 
3. save for new place to live 
4. save for new car 
5. save for emergency expenses
6. 52 week Money challenge. I was doing so well with this, then it all went to hell. 
7. Save 10% of every paycheck for emergency expenses listed above- once again I did so well with this for about 5-6 weeks then it all went to hell. 
2. Housing situation 
1. MOVE OUT! I cringe whenever I hear M & B talk about their financial situation or retiring. I feel more guilt than they will ever know for the fact that I am still living under their roof. I really want to get out of them. 
2. It's somewhat embarassing to tell people that I still live with my parents

2. scalp- find shampoo that is good for oily skin/hair 
5. Podiatry appointment-

Well this is a good start. I'll come back and finish tomorrow. 

Fruits and vegetables

There are a lot of fruits and vegetables that I don't like. I'm a pretty picky eater....I've expanded my tastes as I've gotten older, but there's still a long ways to go. I was just thinking that despite there being a lot of vegetables that I don't lik, I'm going to wrist a list of all the fruits and vegetables I DO like and focus on those. And hopefully, as time goes on, I can add some to my list. 

Anyway... 

Fruits: 

Apples 

Bananas 

Watermelon 

oranges 

cantelope 

Honeydew Melon 

Tomatoes 

grapes 

Strawberries. 

I would like to work on my tastes for blueberries 

Vegetables: 

lettuce 

carrots 

cucumbers 

cabbage 

celery 

Well I guess that' it. 

Starting over

I decided that I wanted to try blogging...AGAIN. I have tried many time unsuccessfully...I end up giving up after so many days. But this time I want to challenge myself to one whole month. From now until August 13th,  I will blog everyday even if it's only 1 sentence. I have so much I could write about, I really don't know where to begin. Typing is really easier for me than writing, even though I have that cute little journal I picked out from Target. Oh well.

I have a lot of room for improvement in many areas in my life, and I plan to conquer them one by one.

One of these days I will write out all out and figure out a plan for doing so.
