If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon, like a lover
Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's hard for a cool
Cool, cool change
As my 29th birthday steadily approaches, I'm searching for all that I want to change by the time that my 30th birthday rolls around next year. I sit here & think about what my mom had accomplished by my age, I'm amazed to think she did it alone. There are times I feel like I haven't made it half as far as I should have by now. But, when I sit & think about it, I'm married to an amazing guy, as well as have a career I enjoy. We're not rolling in the money, but we've still got the roof over our heads & food on the table (& in the pet food bowls). Compared to a lot of people older or younger than us, we're doing just fine.
So, to begin my change I headed out to the salon after work to bravely chop off a foot of hair. I did it. Nervous or not, I did it. It looked amazing & I couldn't get over how different I look. I tossed in some all over highlights for some more umph.
Damnit, I look good! It's not often I say that about myself. I probably should say it more because as I look over pictures of me when I was 17, I was a lot prettier than I thought I was at the time. One thing I resolve to do is not put myself down as much as I do. I'm going to try to fine 1 positive thing to say about myself each day.
I want to start eating better. I'm a vegetarian, but lets face it, crunchberries are not a fruit. This will be a hard task, I lost 40 pounds a few years back, but gained a lot of it back after surgery last January. Time to take it off for good. To do this, Joe is going to be forced to eat a bit better (at least around me). This means I can't deep fry his dinner each night, but maybe I can 3 or 4 nights a week. I should also give up my 48 ounces of soda a day. Really, really bad habit I have when I'm at work. I need to find another coping method when I'm there.
I don't want to look back over my first 29 years and wonder what the Hell I did with all the time. Do I want to spend all my time chasing a buck, but loose out on wonderful memories of my family. Hell no. Memories last forever, money doesn't. As long as you have the basics, have fun with the rest of your free time. Enjoy your friends, enjoy your family no matter how crazy either one may be.

I was going to delete your site from my computer till I read this one said beautifully. Great ability to see what is important in life and with a wonderful, positive attitude. ABUELITA
Delete the site if you so choose. Neither one of us has the ability to post something on a daily basis & not everything we write is going to be something profound. This site is just meant to keep friends & family up to date on our lives so that we don't have to repeat things over & over again.
