I Love Lola's!

Exploring MY TOWN
There is culture in MY TOWN after all. Today I went to Lola's. A beautiful little restaurant/coffee house with German brick character walls, hanging with Art to sell and the original murals on the wall where there was brick. The frappe wasn't greatest but the warm cinnamon pull apart was amazing and the couch that I could sink into was to die for. With free wifi you can't go wrong. This just proves to me that I indeed need to explore my town with a greater frequency. I need to walk down down town and just look, wonder and not question whether I should go in or not. I need to be fearless and just do! Go explore and make it home.


Chris
Chris left yesterday and thank god she did. I am an introvert and three days of her after work was making me go nuts. I love Chris but sometimes she just doesn't understand. For instance I told her I had to clean after she and Ryan where here. She was really wondering if they were that dirty. Well, when you have two more people in a space used only by one of course it will get dirtier! And she likes to make a mess when cooking... uh yeah of course it will be dirtier. That is another thing, I will never let her into my kitchen to cook again! She used a salad spoon to stir brownies and it cracked the spoon. It was one of my nicer cooking utensils as well. I didn't correct her or anything. I just bit my lip and said nothing. Friends are worth more then salad spoons. I am glad she is my friend, but I am happy she is gone, sometimes you just need a quite weekend by yourself.

Commun with the Cat
I saw Jazz today while cleaning. It was enough of an excuse to get out of cleaning for awhile. I ran outside with meatscraps and yes I bribed him with food. He also wanted to be petted. And I just sat down right there on the sidewalk to hang out with him. It was nice for him to ignore me, trust me and turns his back, to listen to other sounds.

Worries About Work
I am constantly worrying now that I will be fired. I don't know why, I do my work, my boss never sees me....no complains. Granted they are expecting me to do more and I want to do more but I wonder if I a trained enough or is this a learn as you go thing? Anyway I have little worry attacks about my performance. It drives me nuts. And I feel like I can't tell many people this so I vent here on my online Journal.


FINANCES
Ah, actually getting to the reason I blog. I am suppose to be keeping myself and the world updated about the progress of my goals. This month I am focusing on Finances. I was suppose to read one chapter a day of SMART WOMEN FINISH RICH. With Chris here I didn't, I am currently on chapter 2. Not good. But I am planning on finishing it this weekend because I have a financial appointment at Edward Jones come Monday. I need to be prepared with something at least.

Also I have a call back number for Wells Fargo investments. I also am planning on checking out Fidelity perhaps. Who knows maybe even Myrill Lynch. We will see how things progress.

In other news I got rejected by U.S. Bank for one of their credit cards, not enough financial history. I was pissed, got over in two hours and took out a card with my bank. Not the best card, but at least I have my own and will build my own history, latter this year I can always try to go back.
