Hello lovies,

Not entirely sure what to write today.. so we will see where this leads.

Things have been going pretty well.
I got my hair cut and colored yesterday... it pretty much looks the same.
I got my taxes back today! Woo! Some of its going towards paying down my credit card... the rest is to make up for money I just spent on buying new tires. I also need new tie rods, an alignment and brakes.. ugh. I am going to get my brakes done soon.. hopefully within the next week because they've started to make noise but I am thinking i'll skip the tie rod and alignments.. in hopes that I can have a new car soonish. I drive an old '92 honda civic.. and I don't really want to put anymore money into it..

I am hoping to get my credit score up a bit more after paying my debt down. And thus, (perhaps with Jaybo as a cosigner) I can get a car loan of sorts.

Whatelse...
I am doing fairly well on my new years resolutions. I know I never blogged about them... just because it seems to cliche and everyone does it yada yada. But heres how i'm doing:

Weightloss:
It has finally clicked. Since just before the beginning of February until now I have lost 10lbs by changing my eating habits. I still can't find the motivation to exercise but keeping a food journal has been invaluable to me. I am also loads more active on SparkPeople.

Being more Social:
Also win. I've been trying to see Toez and the family a bit more. I have also made some new friends.

Working on Insecurities:
Not mastered but I am doing good... trying to be less jealous, insecure, worrying etc... I think some of my insecurities tie directly into my weight and I think weight loss is a positive thing for me. I also think being more active helps as I am busy and focuses... thus less time to dwell.

More Political awareness:
Also doing great on. However... I have been so sad and angered by recent bills... so many relating to womens rights and accessibility to health care

Cleanliness:
I think Jay and I have been doing great on keeping our place cleaner. We are cleaning regularly and it feels so good. We aren't letting laundry pile up (too much), were doing dishes daily, I am still working on keeping my living room area clean...but its better.

I think those were all the main ones...

I am hoping to see Jace here any day...
He's a great guy and if you don't know him yet then you're missing out.

I have a lot of girl crushes going on lately... mostly on SG members...
You know who you gals are

Jay and I are seeing Coheed and Cambria again in March. We may also be going to see some Japanese Bands soon too... I am on the look out for some other concerts too.

I have two weeks off from work in August.. unpaid... but time off! Yay! Sooo hopefully the WCCT can work out for that time... If you're on the West Coast make sure you join the WCCT group.

I am thinking of making some banana chocolate chip bread...

Thats all folks!
