February Resolutions

Everyone knows that New Year's resolutions never stick. That's why I make my resolutions in February/March. And here they are:

1. The cliche lose weight resolution. Seriously though, my goal is 110 lbs by August. I've got plenty of time. No need to rush unhealthily. (Side note, according to my spellchecker, "unhealthily" is a word, but "spellchecker" is not).

2. Become more Earth-friendly. Stop using plastic bags, reduce the amount of waste I produce, and conserve as much energy as possible. Also, recycle. I've got a bunch of reusable bags with cute slogans on them, I'm covered there. As far as waste, so far I've stopped using the to go cups at work, and instead I use the for here cups. I mean, I'm not going anywhere, why bother?

3. Save money so that I can move out in June. This is a biggie. I need at least $1,000. Right after this entry, I think I'm going to work out a budget and finances and stuff. The only big cost coming up in my future is new phones. That's manageable though, with our tax money.

Part of #3 ties into #2: I'm going to purchase as much as I can from thrift stores/second hand shops. This includes books. Half price books will not only save money, but its like recycling in a way. Same goes for the thrift stores. I've also vowed not to buy any more fabric till I weedle down my stash.

I was going to post a rant about what I hate about people on buses, but I think I'll save that for tomorrow. Peace everyone.
