Big Changes
Okay, I know I've been sucking at this blogging-thing, but I'm just a few months from turning forty and I've made a vow that I will post something here everyday until that happens. A lot has been going on the past few weeks/months. I've been updating my ESL website and finally contacting so many people who've been writing to me. I've also been exercising and losing weight - been about 15-20 lbs., so far. And I finally officially finished my second script, and getting ready to work on the third one.
Oh, and I've been making a lot of jewelry, which I hope to sell online, on Etsy, in the next couple of days. I kind of need to get this in gear since I just found out that EDD is withholding my unemployment checks (summer's slow for teaching) until they do an interview with me....next month! Bleh. Thank goodness for my boyfriend/superhero who's letting me stay in his apartment. He truly is the best boyfriend I've ever had. I really don't know if I deserve him.
Which leads me into why I really want to get off my butt and do something positive. I know I have good intentions; however, I also know I could be a better person/teacher/girlfriend. It's so frustrating that I'm at an age where I'm supposed to be mature and put-together, but I'm not. There are twenty-year olds who have it more together than me.
Fortunately, I've always considered myself very lucky and have never felt like the world is out to get me. I guess that's why I'm so negative on myself. I've had all these amazing opportunities growing up, and I just let them slip by. My problems are exactly that: mine. And most of them really aren't that bad, I just make them out to be.
So, I'm going to make a supreme effort to find out what I really can achieve. I think some of it's pretty trivial, like doing facial exercises to prevent going to a plastic surgeon (got some doctors bookmarked). And some of them are pretty big, like being debt-free and writing my scripts in hopes of getting one of them made into a real movie.
So, in the meantime, I'm going to share my experiences with anyone who is interested in listening and hopefully get to a point where I'm at least somewhat satisfied with where I am, because OH MY GOD! I'M TURNING 40!! I still can't believe it. But it's happening. I just gotta buck up and deal.
Hope everyone has a great weekend & I'll talk to you tomorrow.
