Note to Self

Becky and I had some interesting talks last night. Every thing from religion, to goals and personal responsiblity for my own happiness. I guess I've discovered that "people are as happy as they decide to be." I've definitely decided that I need to change some areas in my life and start doing some things just for me.

One thing I've decided to do is write or journal. I always start off well but allow other things to eat up my time. I need to be more disciplined and just write as an outlet. I did get two "List" books for Christmas that should give me some ideas of areas to write about. Note to self: Cut down on stupid reality shows and start living your own life!

I miss working out in a class with other women. I used to go sweat, huff and puff and do primal screams at the gym with Caroline, Joquin, Melanie and a bunch of sweet old ladies that I admire. They took my screams as enthusiasm! I should look into that this year. Note to self: Find a gym close to the house or work!

I love movies. It has been so much fun going to the movies with Beeks or renting movies to watch. Judi Phillips has told me that she will go to a movie with me. I really want to see "Phantom of the Opera" that comes out in mid January. Note to self: Make a movie date with Judi!

Our spending habits are out of control. I did have much more control of our finances when I was using the Crown Ministry principles. We want to fly to Canada to meet Jerry and his family and we want to be able to spend Christmas with the entire family in New York next year. In order to do either we need to begin systematically saving. Note to self: Sit down and make a new budget with Charlie and start recording our expentures.!

Well my brain is starting to hurt so I will stop with these few observations for now. I'm sure there are more "Aha" momments to come!
