It's that time of year again... for resolutions. I guess I could say my resolution this year is NO resolutions but what's the fun of that?

1) Trust God Financially - I have a really tough time with this one... it's always some poor excuse to God about why I can't tithe my 10% thinking wow... I really need it for the house... or I need to save up for grad school. However, I'm inspired by my pastor to really try it. He did it and managed to graduate with no debt. Crazy huh?

2) Quiet Times - So I'm really active with the church and I'm very much a part of my small group; however, I still don't seem to carve out enough time for God. I think I definitely to carve out some time for God in the mornings before work.

3) Eat Better & Learn How to Cook Well - I'll go long stints of eating low carb, low sugars, and then BOOM it's like I all of a sudden have intense cravings for it and I'll end up gorging on junk food and feel gross. I guess along with eating, cooking for myself on a regular basis goes hand in hand. I hear it's just healthier for you because it's less fattening and less sodium.

4) Physically Fit - I would love to say that I'm going to lose like 30-35 lbs or something but really, I just want to be toned and happy with myself in clothes. I don't want to be obsessed with my weight. I just want to have good cholesteral, sugar levels, BMI, Chest/Waist/Hip ratio, etc.

5) Be the Right Person - Instead of looking for the Right Person. How can you demand those around you to live up to your ideals if you aren't that person yourself?

Happy New Year to All!

 

I'm official as of today. They will be drafting my first mortgage payment from my bank account. I'm kind of thrilled by this... although if you check on me later, I may be crying

my deed says my street name is Golden Ridge Lane

post office will only let me change my address to Golden Ridge Way

all my mail comes with this huge warning sign that says... CORRECT ADDRESS IS GOLDEN RIDGE LN

i call USPS, explain the situation, the guy gets all huffy and puffy with me and says... you go to City Hall and you tell them to change the street signage to Golden Ridge Way.

i say to him a little amused, wouldn't it be easier to update your database to Golden Ridge Lane as at least 10 people on the street have deeds that state Golden Ridge Lane or the fact that Mecklenburg County has the street registered as Golden Ridge Lane....

he is like... we don't handle street signs. city hall does. call them.

and then he hangs up on me.....

so... i call USPS back and after being directed to 3 people... the issue is now fixed. the last lady looked up the county database, found that it was in fact Golden Ridge Lane and updated the database.

man.... why are some people so difficult to work with?
