Hair Goals

So.....

Recently I have decided I will no longer be getting perms or any other chemicals in my hair.... I am a MANE AND CHIC fanatic....I love her blog and hair..... I was trying hard to transition from my permed hair to my natural hair......I was just tired of my hair being beautiful wavy and curly with straight ends.....and I did something I have never thought I would ever do.....

I chopped off a whole inch of my hair!!!!!

Just woke up this morning...clipped my hair until a mini fro.....lol

and paid $165 dollars for braids... :)

I was so proud of myself.... So my plan is to wear my hair braided for 6 months....cleanse my scalp every other day and oil it with Carol's Daughter Elixir....I haven't decided if I will keep it braided for 6 months and get the front re-braided.... or if i'll get twists next time.... either way i think i'll keep it braided most of the year....

OFFICIAL BIG CHOP DATE : 2/21/10

Apartment Goal.....

SO.......

I'm newly independent...officially a 5 star chick..lol

So I have my own place and at the current moment its not furnished.....

I have the necessities like a bed and T.V.....and mostly all the kitchen amenities....

So my goal is to furnish each room slowly so I don't become broke and overwhelm myself....

In order...

Kitchen

Bathroom

Living Room

Bedroom

Simple Right?.....not necessarily.....I am very complicated with the things I want.......

LOVE LEE

Im back again....(rolling my eyes)...lol

SO.............about goal #1.....

It seems Money may have won......

It's like as much as I want to do accounting.....I prob will love it like I loved pharmacy and fall out of love again......

Another reason I'm having this dilemma is because I keep forgetting why I initially cared about the money in the first place.....

FAMILY...

I wanted to create stability for my mother and father....

HISTORY...

My mother is the best person I know. She has worked harder to take care of me and my brothers over the years that I just can't fathom the thought of her working hard later on into her 50's.... I just can't.....My father has had a hard life..... he went to prison for almost 13 years; came out into this world that was of course still punishing him. STILL, he's busting his a** working at a lumbar yard for 1400 after taxes a month. AGAIN, I cannot fathom him busting his a** later on into his 50's at a lumbar yard!!!!!

So Money wins..... ultimately it will help me as well.... because I refuse to work pass 55 in some shit (yea no asterisk)... that I hate!....

I want to become an artist....I love art... and I'll be able to do it with a stable income.... so it is what is........I will become an PHARMACIST..... back to work I'm telling myself right now!

Love VS Money

So I'm in a dilemma......

GOAL #1 School

So I have been in heavy thought about my future and I have been busting my ass to get in school. It's been very trying but I have been doing what need to do...REALLY.

Just a little history on the last 7 years.......

I went to a trade school for the Pharmacy Tech program. I did it and succeeded. I learned a lot and I have been in that field for the last 7 years...lol...

I loved it in the beginning and wanted to be a pharmacist because of the money. As time has gone on, I have lost the love and always in the back of my head wanted to be a CPA. I loved it in high school. It was the perfect challenge for me, I loved everything. I think subconsciously I haven't succeeded in school as far as pharmacy is concerned because I didn't love it. My family is determined for me to be an RPH..but i f**kin hate it!! I work in insurance now and its very clinical pharmacy issues I deal with everyday and I really don't like it.

So the question is......LOVE VS MONEY.....?

Pharmacist make starting 90,000-120,000 dollars a year....

Accountants make starting (CPA) 60,000 starting.....thats a whole 30,000 dollars difference!!

Okay.....now how long does it take....??

Pharmacy you have to go to school for 2 years then another 4 years of clinical ish.....

Accountants you have to do abt the same......4 years for bachelors you can start working then 2 years for masters and CPA exam............

WTF!!!!

Love Lee

Still brainstorming.....2010 resolutions

So.......

As I sit here.......I'm just brainstorming what exactly I want to accomplish it.....and even reserving quiet time this weekend to really go hard on my resolutions. Any other year I would write down, or post somewhere in my home.....but this year I really want to make it count.........I'm 26 now....I'm really growing into myself and I know at this age it sets for how my future will pan out......

I'm really concerned with living the norm.......I just don't see it....and i really want to grasp and hold focus of that......

See you this weekend....... :)

LOVE LEE

so....happy new year!!!! resolutions and all.....

So were 4 days in already......

I have alot to be thankful for....2009 sucked hard but created a much stronger woman in me....

2010....is great so far!

I've had great sex, partied my butt off, and spent time with family and a new friend..wink!...yes boo boo i move on and gets it in......lol

So it's a lot I want to accomplish:

1. I really want to blog more often...its good to see a trail of things your accomplishing or not ..lol

2. I've already started growing and becoming natural....my curls are beautiful and show strength and all kinds of sexy.....Want to really get on my MANE AND CHIC......check her out!

3. Money is a Major Issue....currently in talks abt getting a financial advisor...I need some serious advice and some goals I want to pursue.

4. I want to get in school but its looks like it may be delayed another semester.....not in my control....all I can do is try......

5. I want to experience new things.....I'm so tired of the norm.....

6. Spend more time with the fam.....i love them!

7. Furnish my new apartment! without breaking my pockets!

That's all i have for now........I'll let you know (if anyone is even reading)......the first goal by Friday!

Sh-- is not going as planned..Updates......

So..........(deep breathe) where should I start???

School.......i registered for school on Tuesday...it's apparent the school I enrolled into has no consideration for the working person......there latest class starts at 5:20.......I get off at 5 and theres no way in Jersey traffic hell I'll make it there in time.....so now I have to re-vamp things.....Now I have to sign up at the community college that I didnt want to go to in the first place....Major: Math/Chemistry concentration. Thats a pain in the ass.....because thats the closest degree they have to pharmacy....now I have to request my transcripts again to be reviewed again to this freakin school.....wtf!

My car is great butI need to get new tires and insurance on it.......I'm ridin dirty and hope to god I don't get pulled over.....I'm doing the insurance today and hopefully that pans out.......

I got my place.....but have nothing in it yet.......:(......so much shit to do!!!!!!!!!!

I have a lot on my plate and would appreciate things to get done.......until next time!
