Let’s keep the year going right! Share the things you’d like to change in your life and the plans you have to make it happen. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
I am doing awesome on my New Year’s Resolutions…although I only got to the first three on my list as I’ve put off finishing it. Procrastination is my number 4 for this year and this is something I work on every year and always manage to procrastinate working on it. LOL
You’d be proud to know that I entered Target last night to buy a heater, pick up some Gatorade and a few things for my mom, AND I DID NOT BUY ANYTHING EXTRA!!! YAY ME!! Well, I take that back, I picked up some ornament hangers that were on clearance, but I only paid 60 cents for them, a count of 150 no less. Always buy decorations and such on the off season! You can save SO MUCH money by doing that, it’ll scare you! The day after Christmas is when you should stock up on next year’s wrapping paper and gift bags. The fall is when you should buy a really nice charcoal/gas grill or air conditioner for next summer. I think you get my point.
Its day 5 and I’ve done well so far but i need you to pray for me! I am helping one of my best friends look for shoes for the bridal party for her wedding in May. I went online today to look at some potential shoes, and there were sooooooooooo many nice ones I wanted. It was very painful to not click on them and put them in the cart, punch in my credit card number and have them the next day. I am strong willed but the voices are loud.
I have yet to go to the gym to work on my healthy weight, remember I suffer from procrastination, although I will get on that starting Monday! What exercises do you do, aside from the gym, that gets you motivated to work out the next day? Let me know please!
I’ve done a great job with spending time with myself and speaking of that I plan on doing it right now. Redbox has free coupon codes the first Monday of every month, and yesterday I got codes from my cell and my boyfriend’s. I have The Other Man and Hangover waiting for me and I will join them now.
Before I say good bye I’d like to share a site with you for shoes, in case you are not a shopaholic or know someone looking for shoes for a wedding or special occasion. There are other things on this site as well. Check it out its…www.6pm.com. As I write my blogs more sites will come to mind that will save you money and still support a shopping habit. You can find these sites in the left panel labeled DJrel Finds. Enjoy!
Until tomorrow, be safe!

PS Congrats to the Cowboys VICTORY last night!!
Its freezing in Bridgeport, Connecticut!!! Snow covered the ground when I stepped out of St. Vincent’s this afternoon and I let out a low cave man like grumble. Since New Year’s Eve the snow has trickled down every day making it ever so clear to me that this will be an ugly cold winter, well pretty, in the sense that everything is covered in powdery white, but snow always throws a wrench in our day.
I’ve made it safe and sound after an early evening of chatter, laughs and good coffee with my friend and I’m ready to chow down on dinner and pop in the red box dvds, one after another….I was NOT kidding when I said I wanted to spend more time with me and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
Before I bid you adieu, on a side note, I left my cell at home when I rushed out the house to go volunteer at the hospital and I forgot to let my mom and boyfriend know that I was stopping at my friends house when I got out. I came home to see 8 missed calls between the two of them and it makes me warm and fuzzy inside to know that I matter to someone enough to have them care where I am and that I’m safe. Never take for granted the people that love you and love them back just as hard, we don’t know what tomorrow brings so do it NOW! Be safe!
