1 Grrl's Quest:Being The Best Bond Grrl I Can Be

G*O*A*L*S

I have them, goals! I've kinda set some before ( married by 30 to a b-ball player , big house, millionaire by 40 those unrealistic things), but not any with timelines and dedication to achieve them. It was 4:51 a.m. after... well let just say 45 minutes of ea.r.ly morning luvin'.

My mind was just going! I was restless and had so many thoughts on my mind it was kinda of scary because I was beginning to think I was having a nervous break down or something. I wasn't having sad or angry thought but I was rambling in my mind. I mean I planned my best friends wedding, figured out things to do in Wisconsin Dell's this weekend, decided that I would marry my James, got Saved (recommitted my life to God) and much more all between 4:51a.m. & 6:24a.m. Ok sorry for getting off track but....
I have goals and I really want to reach them during the time I prayed for.
So this is my timeline: I'll be 29 this year 2006. In 2007 I want for my James and I to buy a new home, we pretty much know the area we want to stay and the amount that we (he) can afford to spend on a mortgage. And I've told him about a First Time Home Buyers program that helps you with the process and assist with down payments in our area. At that time I would also like to at least get engaged to him so I wont be "living in total sin" showing God that we DO plan on marrying one day:-)

Ok, 2007 house and settled in, 2008 get out of debt! For real! I talk about all the time and have paid down some of it but I swear I feel like I'm falling deeper in it.

2009 Get married. We've been together for 2 years now and by then it'll be 5 so I think that's very much enough time for us to figure out if we can make it together the rest of our lives.

2010 Get my Masters Degree. I know by that time I should be working on my Doctorate's by them, but that will be the best time for me to get it. I really feel that my calling and/or passion is to teach. I knew it when I was in school but I fought it. Accounting is ok but I don't loovve it. By the time I'm 35 I pray to be living very comfortable and working really hard on college tuition and our retirement.

Those are my goals and I'm sticking to them! I already know that I wont and can't accomplish them without the help of my Lord and Savior. I have really been avoiding the closeness I have with my Father mainly because of my sinful ways but I'm back and I need to get that bond back. I know that my Bond teacher is 'prolly' asking about my short terms goals i.e. clutter in the home, closets... and YES, I'm going to work on them but it'll take the rest of my life to get them closets together for real!! lol

Now do I tell my James about these goals or just work on them myself and hope that he's on the same page re: marriage as I am?
Well, like I said my James is taking the family to Wisconsin Dells for three day! All expenses paid! How fun that's going to be. I just told my baby doll today we were going and it brought her to tears! She's so emotional :-)

It's Friday! Do the Friday Dance!

Crazy and Deranged *UPDATE*

On Sunday there was two shootings in my state where a "sniper" was on a highway overpass and murdered one man and wounded another. There has been alerts for drivers to keep watch on this highway, and might I add, I travel it EVERYDAY to get back and forth to work. The shooting were further south towards Indy so although I'm vigilant I wasn't too concerned until my James called me this morning. How about he 'the sniper' has come up here and shot at another car on the same highway that my James takes to go to work everyday!

You talking about someone being paranoid now. ME! I had to pick my daughter up from summer school this afternoon and I had her damn near laying on the car floor as I flew down the highway. ~hump~ Can't be to safe.

Now that I think about they better catch him because the spot where he was this last time is the real "hood" and he'll end up getting shot. Although that's not a bad thought.

Just wanted to share with you the craziness around these parts of Indiana.

They caught him! The BOY (17 years old!) was caught Tuesday afternoon after a tip from someone he knew he also confessed. He was charged with murder and attempted murder. As for the shooting in my area it was a copy cat. The person shooting off the highway where my James goes to work was not caught yet. I hope the police investigate that one like they did in Southern Indiana.

From Blogthings...

What Alcoholic Drink Are You?
I'm a ... Rum

You're the life of the party, and a total flirt. You are also pretty picky about what you drink. Only the finest labels and best mixed cocktails will do.Except if you're dieting - then it's Diet Coke and Bicardi all the way!

Well, It's Friday and that'll be my drink for tonight ;-) Bicardi and Cranberry that is.
Have a wonderful and safe weekend!!

I'm Here

I'm suppose to be in HOTLANTA right now. BUT nooo one of my best friends had to quit her job and get depressed and not want me to come down there right now. So I'm here at work listening to my complaining manager's voice about her man, her weight, her boss, on & on & on....

Anyway, I'm doing fine maintaining my Baby Bond Grrl static. My Baby Doll's birthday is this Sunday. I'm giving her a surprise pool/slumber- party. It's a Mary Poppins theme, with the whole *supercalifragilisticexpialidocious *theme. You have to know the movie to know that word, but it is spelled right:-) She's a old soul, her grandma said she's been here before. She loves old movies, Shirley Temple is her favorite I think she has all of her movies on DVD. She can sing any ol' school blues song & songs from the 70's. She'll be nine. I must have been a HOT MAMA cause I'm only 2.1!
Yeah ok I feel like it tho!!
