things to do

my list is actually getting smaller and that feels great to me.  on the wall above my desk are a number of post-it’s that will soon be obsolete (why I can’t seem to complete one of these bad boys at a time is beyond me but before the year is through I’m going to do some major cleaning).  really the fact that it’s coming down feels great.

installment was starting a savings account for my new notebook :)  as a child I begged for one (only to be clowned) and as an adult practicality kept me from buying one because it could not run autocad but now, well in a few months, I am going to finally buy my apple computer;  not for graphics but for all my hobbies that seem to be computer oriented.  yay!  and no, I promise that I will not turn in to one of those people who thinks that they are better than the average joe just because I have an apple.

why now?  I don’t know, why not.  but much bigger than my little 13.3″ monitor (no not the air just a pro) is the fact that I’ve been spending time working on my budget and researching saving account options and doing all that boring stuff that I tend to dread but feel so great about once its done. times like these really suck when it comes to reviewing finances and spending more on a savings account might not make sense to everyone but it just makes sense to me, sure I’ll still be broke but as the clouds lift I’ll actually have something I can truly smile about instead of just a bunch of stuff that I probably didn’t want so much anyway.  I’ve also increased my 401k contributions (my birthday’s still don’t officially move backwards).  a great deal of my life has been spent doing what I’m supposed to be doing half of the time; well now I’d like to see what doing it all the time gets me!

. . . did I mention that I’m getting my logo laser engraved on my notebook :) pictures will follow
