Lil Miss : Recommends

So, I’ve decided to join the long list of people who decide every January that they’re going to make losing weight their resolution. This will be my first time make a resolution. I really don’t believe in making resolutions. I think you should decide to do something and then do it. Why wait for a certain day, right? I am waiting for January to start my diet though because I have a lot of stuff going on this month and that’s the most convenient time for me. I’m looking forward to getting started though.

I lost a few pounds on my last diet, but I’m sure I’ve probably gained back double what I lost. I’ve made the decision to start eating healthier and working out. I don’t have any fitness equipment yet so my workouts will consist of dancing and aerobics for now. Hopefully that will be enough to help me reach my goal of losing at least 20 pounds. If I can lose more than that I will be ecstatic!! Hopefully everything works out OK this week. I believe I can do this.

Christmas is only two days away and I’m really not looking forward to it at all. I don’t think I’m going to give out any gifts this year and I don’t expect to receive any. I already gave gifts to the people that mean a lot to me. Things have been kind of tight this year and I really don’t feel like going into debt over one day. I still have to make sure I can pay my bills in the new year. I think people focus too much on the gift aspect of Christmas anyway. There really isn’t anything that I want for Christmas. I usually just buy myself whatever I want. Although it would be nice to get a new laptop. That’s really all I want.

I was looking at some promotional items online for a few computer companies and they made me want a computer even more. I’m going to try to save some money next year and buy a new laptop for myself. I should be able to do it if I pick up a few extra hours of work. We’ll see though!

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to furthering my education in the field of nursing. I would like to look into joining some type of online nursing program so that I can work during the day and study at night. Today I found out about the online degree programs that Western Governors University offer and it made me even more interested in following that path. WGU offers online bachelor’s and master’s degree programs for people interested in the fields of teaching, business, information technology and of course, nursing!

All of WGU’s programs are fully accredited. I love that their nursing program is also affordable and flexible. That’s great for people who work during the day and require an online university that works around their schedule. WGU gets major points for offering each student a mentor that can help them throughout their program. That’s great for someone who needs a little motivation and encouragement.

I like the fact that WGU is non-profit online university. Their degree programs are much more affordable than many other online universities and they offer the opportunity to receive partial scholarships every year. I’m going to read more about WGU’s online nursing degree programs to see what each program has to offer. If you’re interested in nursing, teaching, business or information technology you should check out wgu.edu as well.

I’ve been having so many problems with my computers lately. I’m starting to believe the rumors that computers are only built to last a few years. That’s really no excuse for my main computer because I’ve only had it two years. I still have about two years left on my warranty. If I ever buy a new computer I think I may go with a different company. I like this company because they offer great warranties and affordable computers, but I’m not sure if the headache is worth it.

I’m also considering not getting a Windows computer the next time around. Windows computers are such a hassle. I get so tired of the automatic updates that I have to deal with every week. Most of the time the updates cause some sort of damage to my computer that I have to get rid of by doing system restore. That can’t be good. I don’t think computers are supposed to cause so many problems. Maybe I need a specialized industrial computer. Clearly standard computers aren’t working too well for me.
