No...I'm not bitching about my breakup.  I just have the song stuck in my head.  It's been there for at least a week now.  I even dropped the three dollars for both the mp3 download and the video on iTunes.  I can't help it.  It's a sexy video and a catchy song.  I find it incredibly impressive that those women can move like that.  I look like a dufus any time I try to dance, and no, there will be no video posting of that.

The news of the week is that I finally got called by the debt consolidation people.  I've been enrolled and start my payments on the 25th.  I'm just wainting for the paperwork to arrive via priority mail.  So...in 5 years I will be debt free.  That's a great feeling.  It's looking like the plan will save me 110 dollars a month, but we'll have to see for sure when all is said and done.

I also got my designs done for one of my clients.  That's been sent off and now I'm just waiting to hear back on the choice.  Then I can get started on the flash parts of it.  I'm actually kind of excited about it because it involves more learning.  I truly enjoy it.

Speaking of the web, after spending more time with my budget, I decided to start working on software for budget and money tracking online.  I don't want to pay for Quicken anymore.  Mint seems to have its downfalls, and I know from the past that when I design something, I really learn a lot.  I will learn how to budget better than any book.

I think I'm going to put together a database schema for translife too.  I think I might as well create my own social network site.  This will be fun / a lot of work.  Speaking of a lot of work, I haven't decided whether I should move my list of chapters for my book onto this blog, google docs, or just keep it on the pad I have it on.  I might get tempted to work on it at work.  I probably shouldn't do that.

Oh, and I was informed of a few jobs that I am planning on applying for.  That's Tuesday night's goal.  I'm going to attempt to keep myself busy every night until the weekend so I can relax then. Who knows though. Maybe I'll spend the weekend working on a new demo reel.  We'll see.

I'll post more about my recently developed workaholism soon.  Happy January.
