almost done!

I know nobody reads this but I want to announce that I am almost done with my graduate program in gerontology!! And, I have a job as a case manager at a senior center. I'm excited to be at a job where I will be learning everyday and feeling accomplishment.

On another note, I was thinking that I should make this blog a space to talk about health and finances. That way, I can stay accountable for keeping on track and admit when I fall off of the bandwagon.
Finances: Today, I made a smart purchase of a cardigan from Crossroads (a second-hand clothing store). This was a necessary item to buy to wear at a wedding on Saturday. It was only $15, which is less than I would have spent if I bought it new. Confession: I did buy something else there (a cute dress for $15) that was not needed...
Health (excercise): This week, I worked out on Monday for 1 hour. Minkz's trainer Ed (who is an interesting character) spotted me and made me work extra hard on the weight machines. I plan to go to the gym for an hour again tonight.
Health (food): Confession: We sort of pigged out last night at Sumiya, a Japanese yakitori place. Next time, we will eat less by sharing skewers (instead of getting one skewer each). This will help finances too, by keeping the bill under control!
