see how i’m doing

back on dec 30th or so of last year i wrote out the following goals.  i didn’t call them resolutions, but i guess maybe they were.  lets see how i’ve done thus far, shall we?

— pray more — constantly working on this, doing pretty well.

— get into the Word at least three times a week. — did real well for awhile, but i’ve fallen off a bit.

— rededicate myself to contributing at LEAST 25 dollars a week to the church with an eventual goal of tithing.  (i did pretty well with this this  year until the summer time, then it all fell apart, not sure why).   a few fits and starts, but i’m doing pretty well here.

— stop taking money from my savings account (which at present is nonexistent) to pay bills or cover a silly purchase. — yea, right.  worse now then ever.

— pay off jcpenny and ayres by feb (march at the latest).– nope, not yet

— pay off capitalone card and just use that one as my "everyday" card.– ditto

–cut up and cancel bankofamerica card.  pay it down.  (same with my att universal).– cut them up haven’t cancelled them, yet.  not sure why… well, actually heres why: i can’t pay them online if i cancel them,

–take tax refund put it in to a 6 month cd.  make the initial cd @ least 500 dollars.  i’ll probably have to add money to my tax refund to do this.  when it matures open another one try and make that one at least 1,000 dollars.  —i got my tax refund, but it wasn’t enough to put into cd form.  i put the refund into a new savings account, but believe it or not i raped that account two months ago and there is nothing it now. 

—pay off car.  (that should happen sometime in the summer… may or june, i think).   sent last payment today!

— after paying off my car take @ least 200 dollars a month and put it in a special car-account savings account with the intention of using it for a new car when the time comes. 

— take a real vacation.  texas, maybe…?

— enter some poetry contests and submit work to lit mags.

— get into grad school

— stay healthy– on going

— eat better– aigh, could be better.  could be a whole lot worse.

— lose weight– not yet

— go to the dentist– hell no!

— get my eyes checked.
