These trips around the sun are adding up

In about 10 weeks I will be 40. Hmmm. Thanks to my nubian genes I don't look or feel 40. But honestly this is not at all where I thought I'd be in life at this age. So in the weeks ahead I am planning on making some changes.

I thought about going away for my birthday, but honestly I don't have the funds to travel like I want to so why half a** it. Then I thought about throwing a party but I don't want to stress myself out hoping other people have fun on my birthday. So I've decided to do something I've been thinking about for a while. Something that is all about me. Me looking good and feeling good. All about me. But um yea I'm keeping it on the down low for now.

Now for this to all work out I have to really focus for the next month and a half. I'm talking working it out, do healthy stuff, saving up and putting me ahead of others. Yea, this shit won't be easy.

So in the next weeks I will be getting reacquainted with my Wii Fit (cause it's just to dang hot outside, unless I can get my lazy bum out in the early morn, yea right) and resuming a mad beauty regime (breakin out all the creams, masks, toners oh and yes the coco vaseline). I will be saying 'gee that sounds fun but no I can't go, thanks' more often, let's face it the money ain't gonna save it's self.

I'm looking for an apartment, you know affordable, cute and safe. Oh and a job. I fantasize daily about grabbing a beer and pulling the emergency chute on my current situation. Now if I can get all this craziness to come together by October 14th I'd be on happy chocolate girl.
