Tomorrow is the first day of the month of September. In that month I will turn eighteen. I am already graduated from school and at this point in my life it seems as though I need to be turning into a mature, rational, sensible, intelligent, and reliable adult. How am I coming along? Well, in some ways I\’m doing fine, in other ways I\’m not. Main points of joy and so forth is that I don\’t drink, smoke, gamble, or have inappropriate relationships with other people but on the other hand I\’m lazy and though I make good goals and resolutions I seldom carry them out. And I spend way too much money shopping being one of my favorite hobbies. I also tend, sometimes, to be a little harsh on myself when judging myself.

Anyway, for a seventeen year old I\’m probably okay. However at some point, soon I tell myself, I need to learn how to cook and clean and take care of a house. As my forseable future is get married in about four or five years or so, I currently have no clue as to who, cooking and so forth will be very useful accomplishments for me and might possibly set me in a higher class than normal.

As I want to marry a really incredible and wonderful husband I feel that it is necessary for me to become a really incredible and wonderful sort of person. In Proverbs it says(approximately) \”Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies\”. So I am working a bit on becoming a virtuous woman.

Currently though what I\’m working on is work itself. My Dad owns his own business and it\’s a very good one and makes and ships out lots and lots and lots of clamps to all over the world. I help in the assembly area. Making clamps and couplers and so forth is hard work. Taking into account the fact that I have been almost nothing but a couch potato who just used her computer for the last several years working in the shop is kind of a shock to my muscles. My current physical abilities are I can work maybe five hours in one day, and that leaves me really tired for the next couple of days. I worked almost five hours on Tuesday. Before that, for the past four weeks or so, I\’d seldom work more than two hours a day. It\’s hard work, but this week I\’ve started to adjust to it, or at least get used to being tired. So that is one primary reason why I haven\’t been posting a lot, I\’ve been too tired. However, now that I\’m slowly getting used to working in the shop, I\’m going to try to learn how to do my usual daily routine as well as working in the shop.

So, why am I working in the shop? Well, I don\’t exactly remember how it happened, though it\’s comming back to me, but one day I thought I might be wanting to purchase a car at some point. So I thought it would be good to have $7,500.00 in the bank to purchase that car with. Sounds perfectly logical and reasonable does it not?

However, it didn\’t stop there. I forget the exact circumstance but all of a sudden my goal changed to $10,000 in the bank and then womped up to $20,000.00. Now that much money is not for the car, it\’s just for the fun of having it in the bank and earning interest and so forth. Or I can use it to help buy my house after I get married. Or whatever. So I\’m going to try to earn $20,000.00 during the next four years. Hopefully my muscular abilities will increase and I\’ll be able to reign in my spending over the next four years so I\’ll be able to earn it by the time I\’ve set, December 2010. I\’m certainly not very far on my way yet, but I\’m currently working and it\’s just possible that I might be able to do it. Then it will be time for the $7,500.00 for my car:) I want a pink Porche, or maybe a Purple Porche or something like that… I\’ll probably need to get a custom paint job.

So any-rate, as I look over the past several weeks as I\’ve gone from one absurd financial plan to the other, I change my mind a LOT. Still, I have more money now than I had at the beginning of the year, which is nice:)

So now there is a nice long post on here. I\’ll try to post a bit more regularly but it\’s not exactly the highest thing on my list right now. So…

Bill had a billboard
Bill also had a board bill
Now the board bill bored Bill,
So Bill sold his billboard to pay his board bill.
Then the board bill no longer bored Bill.

And that has nothign to do with anything but I thought I would write it in there anyway. Try saying it three times fast though.
