I’m not one to really believe in email forwards, mainly because of how annoying they can be. I’m not sure of how you can base Karma on breaking a chain, but this one proved to be just a little bit different, so much so that I’d like to share it with all of you as well.

Sean and I haven’t been bringing in enough money where we’re sure that we can stand on our own two feet. Sure, both of us pull at least 8 hour days but that doesn’t mean the average of $1200 a month coming in from both of us is really getting anywhere. As far as bills are concerned I’m losing about $500 a month. So that only really leaves $700 a month to be put towards rent, food and then utilities depending on where we end up. He also has about $300 a month going out in bills which leaves him with about $800. There’s no chance in hell that it’s possible to live with an active savings account at this point in time. So we’ve been looking into other routes.

With my ability to legally drive in Delaware, I’ve been searching for a few different jobs in the area so I can work out of the house and get myself the oh-so-important medical benefits that I so desperately need. If I’m unable to find that, I’m still surfing around sites that offer the ability to search for different Traditional Healthcare Options just so I can get my foot in the door with any doctors office I choose. For a while I was just considering Medicare and paring it off with a newer company called value dental where for about $10 a month you’re fully covered when it comes to dental work. I’m so tempted to move to Canada or France at this point, just for the sake of having free health care and knocking it out of my “to do” list, you know?

I’m waiting patiently for a list to show up from the site I listed above, supposedly they’ve matched me up with a few different companies here and there. I did actually find one of interest for $95 a month. It’s Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware. Dental and “female” specialists are included, which is more than great for me. I’ll have to make it a point to save the site onto my laptop when I can get back on it.

The thing I like about this particular site (advantagemedicalquotes.com) is the ability to view all of my options, which is great for someone who is Self Employed, that was one of the first links I saw on the site so I could read into it. I do believe I’ll be going through BCBSDE but we’ll have to see.

I’ll admit, I’ve also been looking through Family Insurance Policies as well, Sean doesn’t have insurance and I know that since we have been speaking about marriage that a lot of things are going to have to merge at some point in time and having health insurance for someone who is in need of some serious medical attention (no matter how stubborn he is) is just a good idea.

It’s been a while since I posted here, mainly because the rush of the Holiday Season had my full attention.  It’s now January 1st and it’s been almost one month since I’ve last said anything here about weight loss, dieting, and life in general.  This doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy!

My resolutions are the pretty common ones.  I’m continuing with my diet, stepping it up a notch by going onto an actual plan.  I’m unsure if I’m going to take the route of Weight Watchers or the Micheal Thurmond Six Week Body Makeover, but I do fully intend to take the bull by the horns and get myself onto a set program for even better results.  I’m now 50 pounds lighter than when I started my diet, which was no easy task in six months but I’ve accomplished every one of my goals through dicipline and a complete lifestyle change.

The only thing I haven’t changed is my smoking habit.  I’ve been a pack-a-day smoker for quite some time now and I honestly can not handle it anymore.  I run slower because I can’t catch my breath, no matter how many showers I happen to take during the day I still reek of smoke because it’s the first thing I do when I step outside, even if it’s just to dump the garbage.  I purchased ‘Quit smoking the easy way’ a book that has been around for 20 years and I’m confident that if I follow the methods I’ll not only be thin thanks to my diet, but a non-smoker.

Another resolution added to my list is school.  I’ve decided to go to DeVry.  Sean is helping me with the financial aid forms so that I can insure full financial aid.  I’m under the age of 25 and I’m no longer living with my father.  The only job on the books that I have at the moment is paid blogging and other odd-and-end jobs here and there that I work on the side, so figure I’m only making about $12,000 a year.  That’s no where near enough money to fund school and living - so hopefully I’ll get the financial help.  I’ve been paying taxes for years, the least the government can do is give me something back for it - you know?

The day after Christmas I headed down to the DMV, I’m officially a Delaware resident and almost as soon as I get my license down here Sean wants to move up to New Jersey because it’s the half-way point between our families.  I’m not sure of how much I like the idea but I’m sure we’ll talk about it a bit more over time anyway.

I’m currently up in New York for the holidays.  We came up here on the 29th and I think we’re going to extend our stay for a few extra days.  Originally I was only coming up until Friday but I’m hoping to at least finish out the weekend and leave on Monday.  Sean doesn’t seem to mind so I guess that’s all that matters.
