I've come to the realization that I'm one lucky girl. So many of my friends have jobs that they simply tolerate, at best. I have two jobs that I love!
At the airport, I get to hang with pilots and work with awesome people. I even get some awesome photo models in the form of some gorgeous planes. I love being in this environment and I never could have imagined having such an awesome career.
At the trucking company, I'm constantly learning so much. I may work in dispatch, but I have responsibilities in so many places. I am learning about a bunch of different aspects of running a company.
I'm such a lucky girl, I just don't think many people actively appreciate what they have and I just wanted to share.

Organization started!
So today I finished assembling my $40 shelving unit from Office Max. It's a really nice shelf setup and looks amazing. I still have to wait for the wood glue to cure, so I haven't put much on it at all yet. I used a different glue than they had provided, hence the cure time.
I'm hoping this will clear up my desk and the area near my desk. I'll be using recipe boxes for my postcard stuff right now, but if I find something else, I'll switch it out.
Now I just have to update my corkboards for the new year and wait for glue to cure and I'll have a bunch of stuff to do tomorrow!

Happy 2013!
Out with the old, in with the new!
I'd like to admit that 2012 was a good year for me in the way of milestones. Most notably, I paid off all of my credit cards! That was my resolution at the beginning of the year, and I finally achieved it in December.
This year will be more about getting my life and home in order. Currently there are three people in my little apartment and it's getting crowded. I'd love to be back to just Dale and I, but financially it makes more sense to have one more person to share the load. Our lease is up in springtime and we'll revisit this setup when that gets a little closer. Until then, I have to try to take up as little space as possible.
Goals for this year include:
Clean and maintain my apartment. (I don't ever want to be embarassed about having people over anymore)
Save up for a down payment on a house
Lose weight and live healthier (Isn't that on everyone's list in January?)
And the important part... How do I plan to go about this?
FlyLady for the apartment. They go by "baby steps" so you're never behind. FlyLady focuses on small goals and developing good habits. My mom has used this and it has worked very well for her. I just have to get better at managing my time and motivating myself.
For saving, I won't be touching my commission checks, and my paychecks from the trucking company will be going directly into an account that I don't see. It is a credit union and earns a decent interest rate, so it'll be multiplying itself as well.
As for losing weight and living healthier, I have a FitBit pedometer and scale that automatically synch to my online account. I can also use their app to track what I eat, and any extra activities I do outside of walking.
