The Plan (AKA Someday is today! Which is a Tuesday FYI)

By 24 I'm pretty sure my greatest accomplishment should not be moving out of my mom's house into my Aunt's basement... Sadly that is in fact the "biggest" change I've made since I was 18... I lead a more exciting life in high school. 

I have this great love of talking about thing I want to do someday. Someday I'll go back to school, Someday I'll figure out what I want to do, Someday I'll diet, Someday I'll stop living vicariously through my facebook friends. Someday, Someday, Someday. But when exactly is someday?

Someday I want to backpack across Europe... Thats a someday I've been talking about for a long time and I kept waiting for the experience to fall in my lap. And when I had even the glimmer of the chance to do it making excuses for it not to happen "I don't have the money-time- anyone to go with..." "I'm scared-out of shape-clueless." "My mother will kill me and shes smart, she could get away with it."

Enough with the excuses! As a very wise woman pointed out to me recently I'm 24 I have a whole world of opportunity open for me I just need to open the door and step on through.

So here is the Plan- By July 2011 I need to:
           1) Save up 11,000 dollars (that's 1,000 dollars a month... I can barely save 20 a week... )
           2) Get in a shape other then Round (Get over dislike of walking and sweating)
           3) Grow some balls! (Or at least learn to fake some)
           4) Find a way to tell mother I am quitting job and running away to Europe for 3 months. (Notice how                  this comes after finding balls?)

So uh tune into my Journey?
