Double the Savings! January 30, 2009

Well, I suppose the official countdown is now on.  Its roughly 81 hours until I turn the page and start a the new decade of 30.  This week, I haven’t really been mulling over too many things.  After all, I’ve managed to acquire 3 university degrees during my 20s.  However, the one thing I do think most about is the aftermath of paying for those 3 wonderful pieces of parchment. And so this week, I’ve opened not one, but TWO savings accounts.  Why two?  B/c I have cash flow in two countrys.  The acct I’ve opened in Maine will be fed atleast 10% of my paycheck every two weeks.  The acct in PEI will receive the money earned from the exchange of depositing US $ into my CDN acct to pay bills. 

So, hopefully, as I jump feet first into a new chapter in my life, I’m well on my way to paying off those damn student loans and being a little more financially independent.

The windshield or the bug? January 21, 2009

This seems to be the underlying theme when it comes to dating. You are either, or. Never both. And for me, I always seem to be the bug. Why can’t I be the windshield one of these days? Not that I want to be the windshield that flattens the bug, but it would be nice to be the one holding the cards. Then again, I don’t want to hold cards, b/c I don’t want to play games. I just want it to work out one of these days. I want to not be wanting it so badly to work out, also.

Maybe, that too, is my issue. I get too caught up in the new details, the new conversation, the new object that is filling the void… and then its *splat* when the void is once again empty. *sigh*.

I have learned from the last encounter with the windshield, however, that some people can easily be hypocrites until the right person comes along.
Its all friends and butterflies, until you realize that there is someone else that trumps you.
But, atleast I got my flashdrive back.

Just a Thought January 20, 2009

Wondering if I should wipe this blog clean and start over,  or just haphazardly just start again? (Which, this post would be an answer in itself to the latter.)

I’m not sure I’m partial to keeping the old posts, really.  Since, the blog is more of a ventilation vector than a history lesson.

Hmmm.

Update:  I’ll keep what I have… change the name, change the theme.  It now feels new and fresh again. Like daisies.  hehe
