ive been meaning to post...

but time gets away from me.  hazel has been sick constantly and ive been napping when she does due to bad nights of sleep.

so lets talk about progress with my new years goals:
-no credit card.... uhhhh i still havent done it.  i initially kept it to buy hazels bed.  then i spun out of control AGAIN!  ive been having quite the battle with this one.  one day i am SO ready to cancel it, then the next i wanna SHOP and dont care.  YOLO raymee says :)  so true... but i might living once maybe shouldnt consist of so many material items.  i am on the kick to cancel it again.  i will as soon as i make all my returns.  i want those hundreds of dollars back from target.  not in gift cards that will just make me want more clothes!

-make a budget.... im not sure if its exactly a budget, but im writing down everything i spend and how much i make.  i think just tracking it helps me to see how much im spending.  i did it for tyson too but he never moved past january.

-pay off car by end of year.... until i complete that first goal, this wont happen.  but its definitely still doable.  hopefully work will stay steady and i can make this happen.

-no drinking... this was my big goal.  ive done it!  and loving it!!

ive also been working out hardcore at least 4x at the gym and now that its warmer we are bike riding, walking, and outside more.  we are in the lenten season and i gave up instagram which i usually check a zillion times a day.  its actually not hard at all.  id really like to give my smart phone up all together.  personally i feel like many people (including myself) post pics, statuses, etc as a way of bragging or showing off.  sometimes it is okay to share your accomplishments but i think we do it too much and look for that satisfaction of LIKES or comments.  too much pinteresting and wanting things (clothes for me).  TOO MUCH MEDIA and too easy to access.  its exhausting.  that is totally just my opinion.  its not a problem for most people.  but i feel like if i didnt have it i would make much better use of my time.  i obviously have no self control to just limit myself, so like drinking, i need to completely cut it out (and like my credit card too) :)

okay, done rambling with my opinions.  enjoy this sunshiny day!
