Here We Go Again

 So, November 1st. I’m attempting NoJoMo (November Journaling Month) again. In addition to this, I’m trying some other things in my attempt to improve myself. I decided to do this rather than try to fix all my flaws come January 1. 

So, I’ll also be doing:

NoFaBoMo: No facebook month. I’m taking 30 days off FB. I spend way too much time on there when I could be doing other, more productive things. 

NoSpeMo: No spend month. With the exception of Christmas shopping, groceries and gas I’m going to not buy anything in November that is not a need. This includes books for my Nook….I have enough books to get me through November, but I still love to buy books. 

NoCoMo: No complaining/attitude adjustment for 30 days. I tend to be sarcastic and annoyed, seeing the worst rather than the best. For example, Art will clean the kitchen but not empty the dishrack. Instead of complimenting him/thanking him for the kitchen, I’ll complain, "you couldn’t empty the dishrack?!" I want to stop that kind of attitude. 

In other news, I have decided to jump in after all and go back to school. I will be starting classwork for my doctorate in January. Am I scared? Yup. Is it a lot of money? Yup. But, we just got an income tax refund that is the exact amount I need for the first two years (thank you, Adoption Tax Credit!). So, we’ll be putting that into a dedicated account to pay for school. 

That is all.
