Finish this week's Econ homework. Check.
Finish this week's Writing homework. Check.
Get hair cut and highlighted. Check.
Take 3-hour nap. Check.
All in all, a good Saturday so far. Now I have an entire evening before me, and I have to figure out what to do with it. The good student side of me knows that she needs to spend tonight researching how protectionism in the Chinese economy is affecting the American economy. The side of me that has done homework all day and is a bit over it thinks it would be way more fun to curl up with a good book and save the research for tomorrow. The novelist in me wants to work on the story I've started, and the Wanderlust-filled me wants to research trips to London so Mom and I can spend a week there next year.
I think I'm going to start by eating dinner and reading the book I'm in the middle of (James Clavell's Noble House: an enthralling look at one week in the lives of corporate tycoons in 1960's Hong Kong). If I get inspired, then perhaps I'll work on the novel a bit more. Tomorrow I'll research the Chinese economy, and when I need a break, I'll look at airfare to London.
(Brad's out of town. Can you tell?)

Spring Cleaning
Today is Monday, a day when I should have been at work. Instead, I stayed home with a headache and spent much of the day resting. I couldn't quite sleep because there's too much going on in my head.
The long and the short of it is, I need to do some spring cleaning of my life.
Brad and I got married a little over three weeks ago, and the wedding was all I wanted it to be. It was fun, we had a beautiful day, and when it was over, we went on our fabulous honeymoon. We were so lucky and so blessed to have most of our family and close friends there to celebrate the day with us. I'm looking at this time period as sort of a break in my life: there's the Miss version, and the Mrs. version.
I'm going back to school this summer and taking two of the 10 classes I need to complete my degree. I am so motivated to get this done! I need to finish it; it's been hanging over my head for way too long now. Ten years ago, I should have graduated from Wake Forest University. As it is, I'll be lucky to graduate from the University of Maryland by 2012. But that's okay, because I'm going to get it done.
My former trainer reached out to me this morning, and I'm taking that as a sign. I've gained more weight and I need to lose it for good. I can feel my body deteriorating...all of our (my) hard work has been lost, so it's time to work on it again. I need to look through cookbooks and figure out what food to make, and I need to start working on menus.
Credit card bills continue to be the biggest financial burden I have. I need to make a plan and pay them off. My credit score has been steadily improving, so I need to maintain that trend. I know I can get these things paid off, and once I do, I'll feel better about my financial future.
So, there you have it. I have the same three goals that so many of you out there have, and I'm determined to make some progress on them.
