Ten on Tuesday and other stuff...

Today's "Ten on Tuesday" is worthy of a blog! It is exactly what I have been thinking about these past few weeks...

10 Ways You Can Make Your Life Better

1) Get a full time job: Even though I am better off now then I was a week ago, the two jobs I have a part time/seasonal employment. I would love a real "big girl" job! One that is 9-5 with benefits and weekends off. One that pays me salary, not hourly, at a place where I can wear big girl clothes like suits. That is a far reaching dream at this point, it appears.

2) Move out: Another far dream at this point in time. I love my parents, but, lets face it. I am 24 years old. It is time to fly the coup. In order to do that, however, I have to have a steady income coming in. Hence the full time gig.

3) Managing my money better: I need to manage my finances better. I suck at saving....but I need to learn. That way I could afford to move out and pay all of my bills on time and in full.

4) Quit smoking: I say this because I know it will make my life better...but I am WAY too far away from actually doing this...so don't talk to me about it.

5) Organize my life: I am the most disorganized person EVER. I feel that it if I can conquer the clutter....I can do anything....maybe even number 4...probably not that one yet.

6) Exercise more: Yes...its true...I am lazy. Well...not really. I like being at the gym and working out once I am there....it is getting there that is the battle. I should work on that.

7) Eat healthy: I like McDonalds. A LOT. I shouldn't eat it though...and I have stopped....but my eating habits are still not so good.

8) Stop letting people take advantage: I am a very understanding person...sometimes too understanding. People take advantage of that. I need to grow a back bone and not let them do that.

9) Travel more: I need to see other places and experiance new things. I always feel more alive when I come back from a trip. I am working on a few possible trip options coming up soon...and i am going on a cruise to Canada in July with the fam and my bff.

10) Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative: I have to change my thinking from "No I can't" to "Yes I can!". I am doing well with this so far and that is what is most important to me. I vow to be more positive. Negativity kills the soul and creativity. That is my new mantra.

Wow...these are all possible and I know that if I can accpompish this list my life will be soo much better. Note the lack of "I need a boyfriend". I don't need a man to make me happy...I got friends. That being said...a date that doesn't stand me up would be nice. I have been having a bitch of a time with this one dude..who keeps asking me out...and then canceling. No more...I gave him one last chance...if it happens tomorrow...kiss my ass. Not going through this again. Went through it with the last guy I dated...never again. This dude is lucky I have been so generous. I should have told him to kiss my ass the first time he blew me off...but i am a sucker for a sad story. After Saturday though (the 3rd time...mind you), my patience has readed its limit (very hard to do). Well...I will keep you all updated.

Ok...I am off!

Happy Hooking!
