Reflection on Last Years Resolutions

It is the start of a new year and I had many goals to accomplish. Here is how I did.

Saving money-I have been saving money each month to put in a life savings. I think this year I will try for a IRA fund but until then I think I'm doing just fine.
Working out- Lost five pounds =)
Wardrobe-Much improved =))) Just bought myself an amazing selection of nicer clothes.
Boom Boom Cards-Four cards down. =) Good start.
Harry Potter-Just on the last book.
Pick a college-Did it going. Now I'm debating Study Abroad!
Go ice skating-didn't get to this one =(
Road-trip Somewhere-GLEE =)))
Mini Golf-Went with the family. Bumper Boats too! Well worth it.
Go-Carting-Didn't manage it.
Pacific Science Center-Check.
Surfing-done.
Skiing- Woah buddy hard stuff.

Overall what a great year.

Labor Day Weekend

The end of the longest weekend ever has arrived, and with vigilance.

What a long yet glorifying weekend.

I always enjoy spending time in seaside on the beach with the opportunity to visit the ocean at the top of a hat. I love walking on the beach without a care in the world with the best boyfriend ever.

And a trip to Portland to see Hanson doesn't hurt either! With the almighty Heather Hodges! MMMBOP.

All I have to say is Thank goodness with Lonnie and Arnie for letting me stay! I was tuckered out.

Seaside & Baby!

One person cannot have all this fun in one weekend without being alarmed! Leaving early from work on Thursday to putter around Astoria with the aunt and uncle was wonderful. I had amazing apple crisp which truly left me wanting more-like I need it... There were two moments while shopping I found note worthy including; a) me staring at this greased man in the book store, judging him because he didn't look like a reader. Soon after feeling like a bad person for judging him. Then noticing he was looking in the section with books on fornication. Good Judgment after all. b) Walking into a shoe store being asked where I was from-replying and then having the lady say "I know where that is, my mother was murdered there."

I Wish

I wish...

life was less expensive.
I could save a bunch of money by switching to marriage (on account it may improve my ability to receive financial assistance)
my boyfriend didn't feel the need to move 3 hours away to 'find himself'
I could get everything I wanted
Money grew on trees
Tide to go pens were everywhere (I seem to use mine quite frequently when one hand)
college wasn't so expensive
colin was rich to buy me everything I even thought I might want
baby Taya was in my hot little hand
Amanda would lose the attitude and be appreciative and get A JOB.
I was done with college
I could go explore Australia or Europe!
I had perfect vision
Nick Carter was in my bedroom, right now.
the world was sustainable
gas was free
my cell phone wasn't a piece of poo
I had a date to Harry Potter 7 part 2
I was in Disneyland

boy do I wish a lot of things haha..I seem like a negative Nancy.
