Gee whiz its cold

1. Today was awesome because I had an awesome sleep in, we went into town and I got a DIARY! Big news, because now I can be really organised, and because I am enjoying the holidays and being in chill mode.

2. The aim for tomorrow is to do a bit more exercise than today – a swim in the morning, a bike if it isn’t too cold, a walk and some squash. I am having noodle box tonight! YAY YAH! So I might need to work that off tomorrow.

3. I am aiming to read my way through 250 bible verses on based around money and finances. As well as educating myself on finances through books/podcasts, I thought it would be good to see what God thinks about money. To get through all the verses in 3 months, it means 3 per day. Todays verses were around budgeting:

• Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, sluggard; consider her ways and be wise; who having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provides her food in the summer and gathers her food in the harvest. Good ant, you have learnt how to save.

• Proverbs 24:3-4

Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge the rooms shall be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. So, wisdom and knowledge are important. Boom.

• Proverbs 27:12

A prudent man sees evil and hides himself, the naive proceed and pay the penalty. Even with finances, good to stay away from evil. Smart guy that God is.

4. Something I learnt today is that going for a bike ride in shorts and a t-shirt in Taupo when Mount Ruapehu has snow on it is a very, very silly idea. I was nearly turned into an icicle. Heck.

5. I am looking forward to NOODLE BOX! I am also looking forward to Money Man, this programme on TV3 where a army guy tells people how to look after their money better. I am excited about that because I am trying to work on my money skills at the moment. I am also looking forward to seeing Mara, 3 days away! More like 2 cos its nearly finished being Tuesday. Lastly, I am also looking forward to PAY DAY tomorrow. Yay yah.

6. I am listening to a band called OpenSouls, which is a New Zealand Jazz/Funk kinda band from New Zealand. I am bopping along nicely to it. Its nice nice niceeee. They don’t really need to say the F word though, its jazz, not try hard hip hop thug music.

Off to get Noodle Box (by the way, its always number 9, teriyaki chicken…ooooooo yeah).
