Things I'm Seriously Considering

Warning: This post is EXTREMELY random.

Below are a few things I've been seriously considering lately:

1. Where I want to be in the next 5 years.

For the most part, I have NO clue, but I like to think of the many different possibilities. Oh the luxury of being young (except when I feel really old).

2. I will celebrate the day when I stop receiving medical bills.

For those of you who know me, I have gone to the hospital for two serious issues for the last two years. In 2010, I slipped in the shower and broke my collar bone (go buy a bathmat NOW, if you don't have one). Yes, I realize I'm the perfect candidate for life alert. Then, this year I had this silly little heart condition that lead to surgery. The cost for health care, even with insurance, is out of control and if I didn't have the help of my loving Father, I would be in some serious debt.

3. Sometimes I'm really jealous of some of my friends' lives.

I totally love the majority of my life, especially now that I live in SF, but sometimes I feel like I'm not making the most out of things. Half of me wishes I was more settled down and the other half thinks I should go out and go a little more crazy (although, usually when I try to listen to that half, the hangover the next day reminds me why I ignore it a lot). I guess it is just a question of balance and a fear of one day regretting what I should have done.

4. I am playing with the thought of getting a portrait of Serena made.

I really do love my dog that much. I realize this does make me a little crazy.

5. A list of the things I wish I could buy right now (but can't because I'm trying to budget):

- New shoes for working out. The old ones are getting pretty smelly.

- New jeans. Due to some leg friction, my pants have some holes in places that are just not appropriate.

- This camera bag. Do I hear a birthday present calling?

- Some new shoes. All the walking I do really takes a toll on shoes, a problem I didn't have in Houston.

These are the fairly constant thoughts that have been running through my head lately and I'm grateful that these are some of my biggest "concerns". Talk about white girl problems!
