Reverb11 Day 12 – 12 Things

Reverb11 Day 12 – 12 Things

12 Things – What are 12 things your life doesn’t need in 2012? How will   you go about eliminating them? How will getting rid of these 12 things  change your life? 

  • I definitely do not need any more credit card debt.  Moving has made a huge dent in that Visa account, and it needs to be filled in and left alone
  • I do not need any more horrible work situations.  I have had enough of that to last me a life-time
  • After this weekend, I definitely do not need any more extended family related engagements.  Talk about insufferable!
  • I do not need inconsiderate housemates
  • I have to stop procrastinating and do things properly.  Procrastination could quite easily be the root of all evil if it could just get off it’s lazy procrastinating ass
  • I do not need to watch any more bad television.  The hours spent watching horrible shows just to avoid doing other more important stuff (like studying) makes me want to cringe
  • I do not need any people who run me down and make my life unpleasant with their insipid personalities.  My life is hard enough to deal with without having people like that around
  • I most definitely do not want to move during exam times again!  I have done it 3 times now, and it is absolutely horrible
  • I do not need any more subjects that I failed or have to re-write simply because I do not spend the time I have wisely
  • I most definitely do not need any more bad service in my life.  Is it just me or has customer service completely disappeared in SA?
  • I need a lot less darkness in my life and a lot more light and fun
  • I do not need any more unpleasant surprises.  I think 2012 can give me a little break from all that.

I’m a material girl

I’m a material girl

Hi, I’m Joan and I am a material girl.  What can I say, I love things and I love having things and I want lots and lots of beautiful things.  I can’t help it, it’s just who I am.  

Moving has definitely brought out the worst in me.  I am in a new place, living alone for the first time in 2 years, the new place has been freshly painted and now I want fresh, sparkly new things to fill it with.   I want to do my lounge in black and red, and have gone to buy my brand new black Manhattan sleeper couch to start off the new lounge.  I’m so excited! I cant wait for it to be delivered!  Then I want to big, wing back chairs, a black fluffy area rug and red scatter pillows for my chairs, with red vases and a beautiful corner lamp!  And I have seen some of the things I want, but at the moment I just cannot afford them all.  

As it is, I have been purchasing some things on my credit card budget facility, just so I won’t actually see the money I spend on my credit card!  It’s like what I don’t see, does not exist, but at some stage I will have to face reality (and that super shocking credit card bill).  

For now I am just dreaming of all these beautiful things and trying to make my December bonus (which is never a given in this company) go 3 times around the world.
