Phew.  Well, it's been a week since I deleted Serenity Now and I have to say I feel a lot better about it.  No longer do I have to read some folks ONLY posts saying "Geez, the board is dead".  Hooray! :D

I had a previous blog which a lot of you read and responded to called "Something's Gotta Give" and this is a follow up to that blog post and my "Cleaning House" post.

Things are getting better, for sure, here's why:

- Serenity Now is gone, yes, but I don't have to milk it anymore so it's freed up a little bit o' time for me to do other things.
- I started playing a game again, it's been about a month since the last one was played (minus to co-op with Vee).
- I started reading again and started with King's The Gunslinger, which I've read several times but have decided to finish the Dark Tower series before Dec 31st, 2006.  I have a ways to go! :lol: (7 books ranging from 200-1000 pages each)
- I paid off and cancelled my HUGELY insane APR credit card on 7/28 with my bonus check! :)
- My rent is still going up, yes, but it doesn't seem as daunting now that I've freed up $200/month from the previous bullet.
- My friend, unfortunately for her, did not get the job out of state she wanted, but fortunately for me, she's not moving away! :D
- I've been seriously considering a trip to Philidelphia with Vee in early 2007 to see the King Tut exhibit.  I think it'll be affordable and doable so I'm happy about that!

So in short, too late, the stars seemed to have come back into alignment for me.  On a side note, I'm not necessarily eating healthier, but I've been making and bringing lunch everyday, which saves me around $8-10 per lunch! :)
