Seven Snippets: August 3, 2012

First and foremost, after all the lemons and abundance of lemonade, the best news I’ve got to share all week is that my boyfriend finally got a new job!

More money and full-time! We will be saving and cutting spending diligently so we can buy a house in April 2013.

— 2 —

My car will be paid off in February 2013 or sooner! It’s a 2006 Kia Spectra EX with only 47,000 miles on it so I plan to have it for a long time!

— 3 —

I’ve decided that in addition to all of the other stuff I’m doing, I’m going to pursue a degree in Programming to make my vast knowledge of I.T./Web related things official. If you’re not already aware, I can pretty much learn anything you put on my plate. With that, and only a high school diploma, at the ripe age of 32, I’ve taught myself many a technology related task from Microsoft Access to Photoshop, SQL Databases, beginner web development and graphics. I just need a few more arms, kinda like an octopus.

My 33rd birthday is right around the corner. I feel like I’ve been 32 for about 4 years for some reason.

— 5 —

I have a few days off coming up on 8/30 – 9/3. This will be a much needed break.

— 6 —

My son finally ventured in to *new* territory and made himself some blueberry muffins the other day. I’m trying to teach him independence, whereas he thinks, I’m trying to torture him. Yet, they were super delicious!

I have thoughts on music this week.

I heard this song on the radio this week and the lyrics stuck out to me.

As long as you love me…

We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke…

Eh, not so much. Really? A multi-million dolar artist sings about being broke. It doesn’t sit well with me.

Yes, I agree that LOVE overcomes many things, but to be quite honest, despite my feelings that money is the root of all evil, unfortunately money is necessary to survive. Finances (or lack thereof) have always been known to lead to tumultuous times in marriages or relationships.
