Why hello again! It's been a while. Feels good to be back. I'm still shocked at the number of people that say they read my blog. I seriously just thought it was only my family and a few friends, (which gave them an opportunity to know what was going on with my life without actually having to have any sort of personal connection to me anymore), but lately they've had to rely on facebook.
Just FYI to all of you out there reading this, this is my official announcement that I will no longer be posting EVERYTHING I do on Twitter/Facebook/Blog. I will post of course, just not everything ;) If you want to know what's going on with me, you'll just have to ask. :) I'm doing this partly because I don't feel the need for the attention anymore, partly because I wan't my friends and family to be friends instead of just knowing what's going on in my life, and partly because I want to start devoting more time to myself in advancing in my faith and career.
Don't take this as me blaming you for anything, as I know I'm guilty of not seeking updates from you too, I just am getting kind of tired of people reading what I post and conversing with people OTHER than myself about what I post and then creating stories, conclusions and speculations based off of their interpretation, especially when there isn't even anyone that close to me that I share everything with that could verify or deny anything.
That being said, I'm going to be posting blog updates forr the reasons behind my facebook status updates as they pertain to religion and christianity. As some of you already know, I've been searching my heart lately, and I've come to some interesting conclusions. I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to post the FULL testimony in one post or if it's going to be broken up (as the only computer I have right now is my work computer and I DOOOO have to work). Stay tuned...

1.20.10
Almost through three weeks already? I feel like I say this every week, yet I'm consistently amazed at how quickly time just flies by and I feel like I've done nothing.
Today was rather boring. Got to work, did my thing. I did have to go to the IRS office though, which was an hours worth of silence. I think the only exciting thing to happen was wondering if, while at the IRS office, I was going to get a parking ticket for an expired meter. THAT would have been hilarious to me. The feds giveth and the state taketh away hah! Fortunately, this whole rain thing probably kept the wonderful parking enforcement in their car and I escaped ticketless.
I did decide to go back to something I was doing last year. A $10 per day budget. This means I'm going to go back to cooking, and finding ways to do things cheaper. I made a lot of progress on debt last year when I was doing this, and as most people do, I reverted back to my old self. Change is so very difficult to make permanent. I feel like this will always be a battle. Trying to figure out new ways to stay on course and find what actually works for me, is such a tiring fight, but better than not fighting at all.
After work I headed home with the intention of driving up to Studio City for dinner if the traffic wasn't bad. Traffic wasn't deadly, nor was it great, but the plans were thrown out when an emergency popped up (not with me). So I headed home and ate dinner with my roommate. Tried Foggia Italian Deli for the first time. Holy crap those sandwiches are huge. It was great. I need to go back there and buy some nice meat and cheese!
After dinner, I enjoyed some American Idol (funny picture attached), a couple other tv shows and now I'm heading to bed. Until tomorrow, there's day 20 of 365.
