happy new year - welcome 2010
hope everyone had a good xmas/yule/winter type holiday and safe/festive new year. i rung in the new year playing lego bat man on my xbox :-) some of the game angles are a bitch but i am enjoying the game (and its 2 player!)
a few of my awesome xmas gifts this year: hello kitty barbie, farscape series dvd set, donations to the ferret shelter where i volunteer, hello kitty ornaments, hand scrubby stuff, new porsche book, wizard nut cracker, misc fun hello kitty stuffs and some gift cards.
the weasels got a nice haul of new toys, snacks and blankies this year too. (but they aren’t spoiled)
starting the new year with $0 balances on both cc’s, $ in all three savings account, a new budget made up, direct withdraw set up, new calendar program up and running, signed up for classes at teh y and some goals in mind. the goals include (but need to be refined): loss at least 30 pounds with 20 gone by bathing suit season, add at least $6k to one saving account, build up reserve in immediate need savings account (aka the ferret adn disaster fund), blog more on both sites, work out 15+ times per month, get a good chore schedule up and in place. not all of these will happen at once or nothing will get accomplished.
also this year going to hit a few ferret shows because i haven’t been in years, learn to shoot my new handgun, maybe take a vacation even its just weekend trip or two, learn to sew so i can make my own ferret mats and sleepy sacks, and lastly get some meditation in because everyone can use a little inner peace.
work is annoying and sucky (whats new) need to work on a new plan regarding that foolishness.
i started volunteering in October (at a ferret shelter of course) and have found it extremely rewarding. if you don’t volunteer now i would highly recommend it. if you go to volunteer match you can search for all sort of charities that need help and there is a great need for help especially now. and what better gift then your time.
well time to get ready because we are going to take a new PC (aka my old pc) because the mother board is going up on his dinosaur. ![]()
