I Kept My Promise

I Pinky Promised to you guys that I was going to post today and let you know what my list is. I take Pinky Promises VERY seriously and so here I am. haha
I think I may have said that I was going to hang it on my mirror and take a picture of it and post it? (At least I think that's what I said and I am FAR too lazy to open another tab on my browser and look) But my stupid computer is being stupid and not letting me put a picture on this post for some reason.... So I am going to do this old school and just type it up. A little more boring... but that's okay. You will get the point anyways.


My Plan to be Stellar Samara!
  • Keep your day-timer with you at all times so that you don't forget to write anything in it. (I know that having a day-timer that is not on my phone is so archaic... but I don't care. I prefer keeping track of my life that way. haha)
  • Stay organized! (I'm currently working on more detailed plans for this one)
  •  Re-evaluate your budget monthly.
  • Exercise more and eat-out less.
  • Have more fun with your wardrobe. (More mixing less matching?)
  • Keep doing your happiness journal. :)

This list may not seem like much... but it's exactly what I need right now. All of these goals are attainable and will all benefit me greatly. I like to throw in one easy and fun goal to keep things light. (Thus the clothing goal.) But the rest of the plans listed I am really excited about and I think that my life will just be all the better because of them.

Just a shorty little posty today. :) I hope that you guys are all doing well. Let me know what some of your goals and plans are! Do you have any tips to help me keep mine?

Keep on Progressing!

Alright everybody. I'm probably the worst blogger because I post so sporadically... but that's okay. I mainly do this for me anyways.  But still - I apologize about it. Moving on!
My life is kind of crazy right now. I guess it's always kind of crazy - that's the way life is. But it seems to be especially crazy right now. Let me update you.

I'm still living with my grandparents and I have a really great full time job with wonderful people, so I am really happy about that. I have such a stellar relationship with my family (this includes my immediate and extended family members) and I am so grateful for all of them. My friends are about the best friends a gal could ask for. They are seriously thee coolest cats in town. I also have a babe boyfriend. I know - you're like "Whaaaaat? I thought that you didn't even want a boyfriend!" And to that I retort, "Well I didn't want a dumb boyfriend. The one I caught is the sweetest, most loving and positive dude. He's a hunk that I am so lucky to have found." So now that you have probably puked from how lovey-dovey that was, let me get on to the harder things.
My car is out-of-service right now. Kill me. And there are so many complicated things to go along with it. It has been a big frustration in my life trying to figure it out. And it's going to cost me an arm and a leg and my soul apparently. But I have definitely learned a lot from this experience. Sometimes we have to learn things the hard way because then we remember the lessons better. I think. Even though it sucks royally, you have to look at what you can learn from it. (Although I will admit, when someone tells me I need to learn a lesson when I am going through something hard, I want to punch them in the nose.) Back to the lessons I have learned! I have learned that I have to be in complete complete control of every aspect of my life and not let things slip under the rug. Vigilance! I am going to take a much firmer grip on everything in my life. Time to make more changes and make myself an even better person!!!

I'm actually really excited for these changes because I love to progress. I'm going to write out a detailed plan and hang it on my mirror (cliche - I know) so that I can constantly see it and be reminded of my goals and plans. When I actually make it and hang it i will take a picture and show you guys. Why am I not doing it right now? Because it's late and I'm tired... Get off my back jeeze! ;)

I guess that this is kind of a pointless post where I just told you what's going on in my life.... Wait! It's not pointless! Studies show that you tend to stick to your goals better when you tell someone about them. I know that I haven't technically told you what my goals are yet (it's late, remember?) but I have told you why I am making new goals and that is a great start. I promise - scratch that - Pinky Promise, that I will write out those goals tomorrow and I will share with you what they are.

I'm so grateful to those of you who read. Really. Thank you!
Let me know if you have any new goals or if you are making any positive changes in your life. I would love some fresh ideas!!
