And definitely number 1. As for number 3, change that to literary mags, adn we're about the same there. :) I admire your resolve for the technology goal. I, too, should take a step back from it. Like, right now, for instance, I'm in the building's computer lab for my next class messing around on the Internet, when I could probably be reading something...tsk, tsk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-33786376859228771802010-09-22T22:00:13.696-04:002010-09-22T22:00:13.696-04:00Glad you came up with some too - better late than ...Glad you came up with some too - better late than never!

One day it clicked - Budgets are not static! I started changing my budget every week to reflect that - depending on what I made I'd spend more or less on certain things, you know?<br /><br />Now I basically put my pay straight into a different interest-bearing account, and "pay" myself the same amount out of it every week. It means I save any overtime etc without wanting to spend it, and eliminates the fluctuation issue.<br />If you can get to the stage where you're slightly AHEAD of your bills, it's also a good way to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-41199957932240373782010-09-22T16:17:36.244-04:002010-09-22T16:17:36.244-04:00These goals are great...I believe in you!

I do take time to catch up on blogs that I haven't gotten to and what not but I also dont feel pressure to be online all the time any more. <br /><br />I just left this quote on another persons blog, its from AA Milne, from Christopher Robin to Pooh: "Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." Always, always remember this!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840515813374990142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-8812296023066350162010-09-22T08:47:22.125-04:002010-09-22T08:47:22.125-04:00Oh goodness love, I can completely relate to #4.

I hear people say "just look in the mirror and tell yourself you're beautiful" all the time and I definitely feel like it would be a total lie, so I hear you. But at the same time, we are all our own worst critics and never seem to give ourselves enough of a break. From what I can see, you are doing amazing things lately, and your spirit, determination, and strength continue to amaze me. You ARE a beautiful person inside and out. <br /><br />I'm excited for your story pitching!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424251792068650186.post-73044904835510697312010-09-22T08:15:02.833-04:002010-09-22T08:15:02.833-04:00Good luck girl!
