My goals for this month will be as follows:
i) Stop spending (I've been able to get a handle on the online shopping, but I've been to Marshall's twice in the past 2 days, and managed to buy 1 handbag, 3 scarves, and some Turkish delight (Why do they stockpile the Turkish D? Who even eats that shiz (besides me)?). It is not lost on me how tantalizingly close I am to $30k. Can I make it by... February?;
ii) Contemplate hiring a life coach and a stylist so I can finally get shit done/have a 12-piece wardrobe and never have to think about clothes-shopping again;
iii) Learn new things. Sewing, for instance. I should do that. Start making jewelry. I should do that too;
iv) Take better care of myself (i.e, no more Turkish delight, cigarettes, or weeks without shaving my legs). My weight, while not decreasing significantly, is fine, however.
