So in the past two days I have made so minorly serious changes. They really aren't all that serious. They are what my friend, JG, would call Jessica problems. I am going to back to school in two weeks (eek!!!) to get my masters in mental health counseling. So hopefully at the end of this program I will be certified for any talk based therapy.
* I canceled my cable!!!! Now that doesn't seem like a huge deal; but I watch a lot of TV. A LOT, A LOT!! Not only do I watch a lot of TV, I DVR a ton. It turns out that I never actually watch "live" TV. I just watch everything that I've recorded. There is no way possible to watch all that I've recorded. It's so sad. So very sad.
* I downgraded my Netflix. I use to get unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs (one at a time). Well, first off Netflix raised their prices, so I would have ended paying twice as much as I do now. I still have the unlimited streaming but no DVDs now. I don't really *need* the DVDs and if there was something that I really wanted to watch that wasn't streaming I could just go to Redbox.
* I opened up a Amazon credit card to finance my books. I didn't really need to do this. I have a credit card that I could have used, but with the Amazon one I get 0% interest for 6 months. So you're telling me I can pay it off with out the interest? ummm sign me up!!
So I'm sure that all this doesn't seem like a big deal, but trust me it is. But I know it's all gonna be worth it. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

First of all..I fell ya on the whole DVR-ing my life away thing. My husband jokes that I have a very busy life and I watch/record tv like someone that has nothing going on. I keep trying to give shows up so my life doesn't revolve around them, but don't bother my when True Blood or Survivor is on.
And I totally feel ya on the Netflix thing. I am not sure what we are going to do yet, but the pricing doesn't seem worth it, with the crap they stream. Bring on the new releases!
BTW- good luck going back to school! That is fantastic.
