Moving Forward?

So, I think it's finally beginning to hit me.

And to be honest, it scares me. A lot.

Can I really do this??

Circles

Okay, random and unnecessary post. I got curtains tonight. They are black and silver. They look awesome. Now I need to find a bedspread to go with them.

I need to better manage my money. I was looking at my bank statement online tonight and started freaking out because the amount wasn't what I expected and I was looking for a receipt that I couldn't find. So then I went on a mad hunt throughout my room looking to collect and organize every receipt I kept for the past 3 months. Though now I don't know what I'm going to do with them all. Money stresses me out. I hate looking at my paycheck every other week and seeing how much I have made to date, and having to wonder where it all went. Ugh. And it's not like I'm buying every little random thing I see. But to fill up my gas tank it is an easy $45 (minimum) and that happens at least 4 times a month. And student loans, bills, cobra, it just adds up. QUICK!

And so, I've decided that I need to start managing my money better. And I need to start tithing regularly again. (You'd think I would have learned by now) And along with that, I need to start eating healthy. I think I should start by cutting out most of the soda and then the light and sweet coffee I have been drinking recently, and substituting water. Not a big step, but a step nonetheless, right? Maybe once I get that done I'll begin working on the food. If only I could change my taste buds to like fruits, vegetables... and all those other healthy foods.

I want to go to a corn maze. And pick a pumpkin. And carve said pumpkin. Anyone else?


I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that pretty soon I will be a full-time working EMT... :-D

Corn Maze

So, since the last time I posted I have:
1) Finished my EMT course
2) Taken my state written and practical exams
3) Applied to many places for a job
4) Heard back from the first place I applied to and had an interview

I had the interview on Tuesday, on Thursday they called my references, and then on Friday they called me to set up a drug test, physical, functional exam, etc. They said that as long as I pass all those things, they will call to set me up for orientation. I'm excited. Nervous, but definitely excited. :-)

I don't really know what else to say. I can't begin to tell you how many posts I have written, re-written, and then deleted.

I've been having a hard time recently.

Oh, and our last open house went well. There was a younger couple who came by and they were extremely excited. And they already have a deposit on their house, so they are looking to buy soon. So, we'll see how that goes.

I've had this screen open on my computer for the last 3 hours, hoping I'd come up with something more to say. But, alas.

Nifty!
