It's Too Early to Be Posting

Then why am I posting on my blog?

I am up early today to pick up a client at SeaTac and take them to their interview with a large local company. In many ways I am just helping keep our local economy going. Both by actually working and by helping a local business with their interview process. Even if I am only the driver. With all the gloomy news in the local and national media we need to remember that even in this sluggish economy people are still being hired. People are still getting up to go to work. People are still living their lives. Just because the media says things are terrible does not make it 100% so.

I am up early doing my part to help keep the economy on track.

Best wishes,

Scott

2009 A Year Dedicated to Living Within My Means

Sorry Jim... stealing your blogline for a title here.

2009 Dedicated to living within my means financially, emotionally, and socially. Wow, quite a goal!

Looking at my life I realized when I have been the happiest I have truly lived within myself and not been chasing some bright shiny objects. This year I am living within my financial means. I am dedicated to paying off my financial obligation entirely. No need to have the consumer credit obligations I have. Why should I pay interest on objects or experiences that I have already forgotten or no longer use? My divorce will be finalized this month it is now time for me to move along and accept my personal life for what it is. Happy and contented. Nothing wrong with being happy with who I am and where I am at this moment. Living within my means socially now that is an area for improvement. More in later posts.

2009 a year under development just like me.....

Best wishes,

Scott

No More Food Through A Window

Ok,

One of the things that annoys me (and others for that matter) Is my love of any food that can be served through a window to me while I am driving my car. NOTHING that is served that way is good for you!!! I know this but like any other addiction I am great at rationalizing it away.

No More! I have not had food served to me through a window this year! That's right this year! ok, ok it's only January 12th... but still... for me 12 days is a long, long time to go.

I have found that when I am bored, tired, and/or stressed is when I am most likely to stop in and grab something this way. Also at night... just when I don't need the fat and calories....I am combating this by drinking water more, and bringing snacks with me when I drive. Healthy snacks not Cheetos and Mt. Dew.

I will keep you posted on my progress towards kicking Ronald, Jack and the King to the curb.

Best wishes,

Scott
