There is no manual

Why do we pretend that there is an actual manual on how to live life?  The ten commandments are a great guideline to life and covers the main human basics...things people should know and sometimes they forget.  But really, for those of us who aren't murderers, cheaters or atheists....why do we torture ourselves in living a 'certain' way? What a waste of a life!

I have an amazing man in my life and I know I should spend the rest of my life with him.  I know this now because I've never known this before.  I know now is the time.  and yes, I've known him for 1 month.  So society says I should wait YEARS before getting engaged, or heaven forbid married.  And I should be ok with that??? Well I'm not.  Society is in a pretty screwed up place right now, I have very little respect for my elders (I guess that's breaking a commandment isn't it) and I'm not sure it's my opportunity to learn from their mistakes....they should learn from their mistakes.

Progress Report

So, last blog was 1/1/11 and I gave myself a clean slate. 

I'm very proud of myself!  I've kept away from processed foods and have substituted tea for coffee.  My body feels great and my mind isn't as stressed. 

My finances are much better.  I feel like I can afford to move out of my parents house and get an apartment of my own.  But I've realized it's time to consolidate my student loans.  I've also begun paying for my health and car insurance goodbye $200/mth.  I'm not sure how I feel about having health and car insurance.  I know it's a gamble if you don't, but the price is so high, $2,400 a year in case I get into a serious car accident - which I've never been in before *knock on wood* but I'll be living 5 minutes from my work can't there be a discount for proximity to work?
