Energy Audit

Have you heard of an energy auditor before? My Grandparents were telling me about them. Basically they come into your house I think and they make sure your house is as energy efficient as possible. They actually gave them better light bulbs to use and some other things too. I am tempted to have that done at my place too. I definitely want to save energy and money when I can....that's for sure. We'll have to see if they even do it in my area.

Weather

It's that time of year when you never know what the weather will bring. When I went into work this morning it was beautiful! The sun was shining and it was actually pretty warm out for 7 in the morning. Then, I left work (in my nice clothes I might add) and wouldn't you know it was pouring rain! Ugh. It's days like today that I wish I carried rain boots with me. Oh well...soon summer will be here and the weather will be a little more predictable at least. I suppose it would help if I watched the weather forecast more often too.

Lose Weight

For quite some time now I've been asking myself how to lose weight quickly, but still in a way that's good for me. I've come to the conclusion that there may be no 'lose weight quick' while still maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I really think I just need to get back into exercising regularly and eating better. I don't think eating out every day is helping, do you?! My goal is to lose a few pounds by the time summer comes around. Hopefully that will happen!? We'll see.

Diet

Summer is just around the corner which means I don't have much time to get back into shape. I'm hoping to lose a few pounds and build a little muscle in the process. The plan is to do it through exercise and good ol' eating right, but we'll have to see how that goes. If worse comes to worse I may have to try some sort of alli diet pill or something. I may do a little research now just in case it comes to that. I need something that's going to work, and work quickly.

Moving

I knew someone who moved quite a distance over Christmas time. She was moving a lot of things and had to find a long distance moving company in a very short time frame. Thankfully she did, but boy were they expensive! I think next time she'd look around for a better deal. There are many people out there who do this for a living and would probably charge a lot less. Ideally I would always want to try to move myself, but when you're on your own and have so much to move....the only option sometimes is to have it done professionally. If she ever moves back I'm sure she'll do some things differently for sure.
