Having the Winter Blues

I am having the winter blues right now. It's mid-January and the winter cold is just making it really difficult to get up in the morning and get ready for the day. All I'm wanting to do is just stay in my warm bed and do absolutely nothing. The only thing that's motivating me to get up for the day is that I need of money for my trip to Europe at the end of Summer. I really feel the worst part of winter is having to wake up a little earlier for the day to warm up the car or sometimes clearing off the snow on it.

Once Spring time hits I will try to make the most out of it. With all of my lifestyle changes recently of dieting and exercising I really want to take advantage of being outdoors and pushing my body a little more than it's used to. It's almost like getting a new toy and really want to take it outside to see all it can do.

Turning 30 and No Partying

I've decided that even though it's supposedly a big milestone me becoming 30 this year, I'm not doing anything special for my birthday. Everyone that knows me, knows that I like to spend money and if I really want to be serious about this Europe trip in late summer I need to stay focus and aim for my goal. My job right now only gives me 2 weeks of vacation but I'm planing on spending 3 weeks over in Europe. Soon I will have to talk to my boss in regards to that if I would be able to keep my job when I come back and to be honest Europe is way more important to me than this job and if it really does come down to choosing between this job or Europe. I would pick Europe. My personality doesn't look to trying to climb the "corporate ladder" to succeed but to really go out, explore and experience. I just have a bad shopping habit that always holds me back from doing more of it. No more excuses.
