Progressing

K is starting an animal sanctuary. Not talking about starting one but actually doing it. She's registered the name and is filing for incorporation. Its interesting that shortly after our friendship ends she finally finds the drive and initiative to follow one of her dreams. Makes me wonder if we were still talking if this would have happened. If perhaps we held each other back. I'm happy that she's doing it though. Envious that I'm not taking as active of a step towards my goals though.

But then I'm stuck waiting for my father to get back from Vegas to find out if its even possible for me to have this bookstore venture. I suppose I am being as active as possible, since I've contacted the agent a few times now and am gathering information. I'm still not in a position that I can broadcast the news to all of my friends though...wish I could but then I'm sure I would jinx it some how. I just hope that someone doesn't come in before me and purchase it!

My other major goal is getting in shape. Last night I told the guys we should have a contest to see who could loose the most first. Of course they both highly doubt that I will be able to accomplish it, based on past experiences of me NOT following through but I'll show them!;) I really want this to happen. I've been walking Mala everyday since Marcia is in Vegas and really enjoying it. I think I'm going to try and accompany Marcia on her evening walks from now on. I also think I'm going to go over to the Running Room and pick up a Pedometer (they are about $30) so that I can see how little I AM walking now and trying to increase it.

Sadly I've realized that my income will take a dip if I do the bookstore, which I know I can survive but my only concern is my debt payment. I'm hoping if this goes through I will be able to consolidate my loans so my interest is a bit more manageable and it won't be an issue.

I have been think though, that if I had the bookstore I could potentially meet some cute boys. This is all assuming that not JUST baby boomers will shop there and that the guys that come in are cute, available & interested in me! But its still WAY better then where I'm at right now. Which is in a dry, dry, dry spell. I'm tired of the dating services and depending on computers to match me with guys they think are compatible. I would LIKE to just meet a guy on the street or through a friend. We'll see. I also don't know if I want anything too serious. As much as Keith seems to think that I would marry the next guy that shows me he cares, I am not sure I would. Granted I am so selective to begin with it looks like that is what I do but I'm not really interested in a marriage right now. I would just like a relationship. But as much as I'm interested in finding a partner I am more interested in getting in shape and completely my other goals like owning my own business, managing my debt and finishing my degree!
