Yes I want you to know...
"I Dig Love" George Harrison
Can YOU dig it?
Had a looong day at work yesterday, but ended on a high note with friends and dance. Sweet memories!
Happy Saturday!

theme of life these days...
Learning to Breathe by Switchfoot
Hello, good morning, how ya do?
What makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new
So this is the way
that I say that I need You
This is the way
This is the way
That I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and
You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
Hello, good morning, how ya been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never thought I could fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad
I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and
You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
So this is the way
that I say that I need You
This is the way
That I say I love You
This is the way
That I say I'm Yours
This is the way
This is the way

Back in the Saddle
I made this blog and then neglected it for months. So now I'm hopefully back to a regular posting basis! I totally believe in the power of making goals and seeing them through. As of late I have neglected to do this and it has resulted in some serious laziness. No more! Here are some of the goals I have set recently:
1) Find a cheaper apartment
2) Cut cable
3) Shop Aldi's/Woodman's ($40-$45 max)
4) Walk 30 min., take a multi-vitamin, and drink a ton of water everyday
5) Save for a camera
Well number one is getting under way here and we (sister and I) are pretty excited! We'll be saving about $200 a month just by moving, that's pretty crazy (crazy-dumb that we lived so expensively this past year!). I'm actually really anxious to get rid of cable too, it definitely breeds a ridiculous amount of laziness. Plus everything is on line these days, so I can still be caught up on shows (not that I really have any at the moment. Maybe Deadliest Catch, but this season isn't as good as past ones). Number four is a constant work in progress and number five, well, we'll see how long that takes! I just got through paying this month's portion of school loans and am a little sore to say the least. It takes a lot out of me, I need to focus on something else here. I made one of those life lists last night, 100 Things To Accomplish, so maybe I'll post that now.
Ahh the good ol' college days...before the loans kicked in!
