24 Sucks.

I thought of more practical goals, but they are chafing me awfully all at once.
___________
Post-Edit:

a. Learn to swim. EEK!
b. Sew something. Anything. Been dying for a practical skirt. You just take a big piece of cloth and cut the middle out, right??

_______________
1. I can buy anything I want, whenever I want -- but the total must not exceed $100 a week, including all necessities (gas, food, etc.). This sounded like a great way to monitor my spending habits and weed out things I don't really need... but as I am slowly putting it into practice, I realize this is a painful process and much harder than it sounded initially. However, it does force me to be more selective about my purchases.

2. Keep my car and room clean. This has been nice, but I fear, hard to maintain. I wanted to get my car detailed, but... maybe next week, when I get another $100. I did manage to clean out my closet and got rid of some things I don't/haven't really worn in years.

3. Keep going to the gym. 4+ weeks straight, and still going strong. This also helps with my time management. I'm happy with the results.

4. Keep detoxing from Hateorade. This is probably the hardest of my goals, since it's not really something I can measure... but it's so important, for so many reasons. I hate being negative, and want to burst with youthful exuberance. Being 24 sucks; I would have been content with being 23 forever!!

And of course, life wouldn't be complete without parents interfering with wedding plans. I am so over the wedding, I could hurl. Whatever; it'll be over before I know it.

But other than that, I find myself happier than I have ever been before. I feel healthier, oddly more positive, and more energetic than I can remember in my many many years. I have so many people to thank for it, too -- you know who you are.

I'm totally craving summer time, sunshine, and ocean. Hopefully I can find more of these things soon.
