Determination

There has been a lot on my mind these days. What better way to sort those thoughts than by blogging! First, yesterday I got caught up in my money situation again. I was doing my bills and getting ready to order more of my face products online and I just got so frustrated with how much stuff costs!! I started freaking out because my bank account has never been so low and I realized that this shopaholic is going to HAVE to make some changes. I always justify my purchases because I always manage to get really great deals and I do need some of the things I have bought, but I'm going to have to start sacrificing even the things I may need. It's already really funny on how I think about budget. My view on budget is, ok I won't buy groceries this week because I know I really want this one outfit. So I choose to eat ramen or have a latte count as my meal. Anyway, so last night I gathered several things and started listing them on ebay. I need to selling things to help me get out of my debt. I'm really excited about this because I feel that I am going to have my credit card paid off really quick if I stick to the plan I've made for myself. Determination is key.
So another thought that has been on my mind is how I have let my life become dull. I am always talking about living life to the fullest, but how many days do I go to work, come home and work on school, watch lame tv, and then go to bed?? Where did my adventure go? What happened to Kara the coordinator of all things fun?! Well..she's back! No more boring life Kara. Because when school is over, then what? I'll look back and remember not doing much. BORING! There are things to do, things to see, people to enjoy, friends to love, encouragement that needs to be spread all over!!! I feel the happiest serving my Jesus by serving my friends. And I view serving my friends by simply just hanging out with them! Lots of serving can happen when hanging out with people...making them food, opening your home, listening to their life situations, dancing out the aggression in our lives haha. Whatever! So I began the "bring back fun Kara" by going sledding the other night. It ended up being only 3 people that came, which was fine, but it was so much fun!! There is something about snow that just brings the kid out of everyone! We videoed the whole thing, I fell on my butt I don't know how many times, but it was fantastic! It felt good to be adventurous again. It felt good to be with my best friends. And this week I have been able to fill my days with just plain fun stuff and I've still managed to get school and work done. I sleep a little less, but that's ok. Well those are my thoughts for now. Thanks for reading :)
