...someone who never leaves a glass of wine unfinished.
That's a line from my current guilty pleasure. Which I will not reveal here because I feel quite guilty for liking it as much as I do. But I do agree with the sentiment of the particular line. I like longer hair on a girl, and since I don't like drinking alone, she's gotta be able to hang. ;)
So quick update on Resolution #1: I'm more than half-way done reading my first book for the year. I stuck with "The Automatic Millionaire" (I still may try to fit in "The Alchemist" this month too), and it's been very motivating so far. It's not about striking it rich now (like the title may indicate), but about taking easy steps to invest in your future, and making those steps automatic so you don't even have to think about it. When I get to work this week, I'm going to look into setting up a 401(k). I've resisted, thinking "oh, I don't need to worry about that, I'm young, I've got time"... but as I've learned, if you want to be able to retire comfortably (and perhaps even earlier than age 65), you've gotta start "paying yourself first" now. The earlier the better, and it's not that difficult to start. My company helps make it automatic with payroll deductions, and I figure if I axe going out for lunch all the time, I help out both my wallet and my body (since we always tend to get fast food). Anyway, it's a very easy read - highly recommended.
Time to get ready for lunch with Chris and Sarah before heading to the IMAX theatre and Ruben H. Fleet Science Center at Balboa Park. Haven't been to a movie there since... 4th grade. Which is also the day I got the chicken pox. Good times.
Also - I think this is awesome and now that I know about it, I intend to take full advantage. And also, Wicked is returning to San Diego this summer!!! (But my heart still belongs to Spring Awakening.)

Guilty pleasure song... wait, that's not a lyric from Spring Awakening. What else could you possibly be listening to?
Also, yay for Wicked.
Well it's not from Spring Awakening, but it is Spring Awakening-related... ish. I was wondering if you'd know what I was referencing, but it's okay/good that you don't... haha.
Hey there kiddo. Just reading on by...I love reading other peeps blogs. LOL. YAY FOR BLOGGING! Ooh...yah start the 401k. Tis good for your future. Plus you really don't see a difference when they deduct from your paycheck. Start while you're young...great idea. Hope all is swell. Bee tea dub - Wicked rocks and fast food is bad for the body. Haha.
