New Years Resolutions/Goals/Wishes&Dreams/One Little Word for 2012
Alright it's been quite a while since we ran down this list, so maybe its time, just to see where I'm at.
*Reclaim some order~ehhh the laundry is under control, and dishes are done most of the time but the house is a bit messy right now, not dirty, just messy!
*Conquer the project list ~not even close! Did do a project but not something from the list
*The attic and library area ~Oh boy! Over the past 2-3 weeks my son, Tallon has been working on moving out, and leaving most of his mess behind!! The entire upstairs is in complete disarray!!! Maddy's room, Tallon's room, the library area, and the attic, all a mess!! BUT this has given me some new motivation!!! Since both the kids are pretty much moved out, I'm going to take on the ENTIRE upstairs!!! I drew out some plans this past week. We are turning Tallon's room into a guest room, painting the entire room and floor and this room will house all the furniture he left behind and all the furniture Maddy left behind. This way when she comes home for the weekends, she will have a place to stay and if we ever have company they can use it too! And all their stuff is in one place, until they decide to take it!! Then we will paint Maddy's old room and move my studio {back} up there. During all of this I will be gutting out the attic and the library area, getting rid of everything we do not need!! I'm tired of all this stuff and clutter. After the entire upstairs has been handled, we will make the decision about what to do with the old studio space. We've got a couple options, gun/hunting room OR move the workout equipment in from the garage. I'll leave that decision up to the hubby. And he can decide if he wants to repaint too. That's the plan anyway!!! And lets hope they don't decide to move back home... THAT would suck!!!
*health and fitness ~Doing pretty good on this one, suffering a few emotional setbacks, but still staying on the C25K program. After doing week 1, 3 times I have completed week 2. Still undecided if I will move on to week 3 or if I will do week 2 over again. It's most likely I will do week 2 over again.
*practice looking for inspiration is new places ~I'm doing bad here, unless you count Pinterest!! Spent some time on there lately
*desire to create ~I'm actually doing great in this regard!! I'm getting the urge to take on all kinds of crazy stuff, so that's good. You gotta feel motivated and inspired before you can accomplish anything, I think!
*Continue with Project Life and regular scrapbooking ~horrible!! I'm so far behind on PL and have done NO real scrapbooking, unless you count getting the stuff together to do a mini album for our UP vacation. But that stuff is still sitting there, in a pile!!
*Blog at least 3-5 times per week ~Doing horrible on this one too! Have just been having a rough time making time for anything other than sleeping.
*take some classes ~horrible! haven't taken any classes and haven't gotten my February, or March One Little Word stuff done yet! I have thought about it and that's about it!!!
*work on taking better pictures ~I did go to the Camera Clubs classes put on by Mark Schrauben. I've been working on composure and trying to use my camera on AV instead of auto! That's a start!! I need to get out and take my monthly camera club photo challenge pictures.
*Sense of adventure ~been feeling to crappy to really go anywhere!!!
*Control over my financial situation ~Doing okay. Spent some of the tax money getting some things I've been needing. New running shoes, some work out clothes that don't have holes in pockets, sports bra/tanks, extra cord for my iPhone, new memory card, new cute funky ring. I know these might seem like silly little things that shouldn't be hard to buy whenever, but I'm on a pretty tight budget. I get an allowance of $50 each week and until my laptop is paid off half goes to that payment!! So it's been tough getting the little things I need. I've managed to pay our credit card off every month, and pay all bills on time! I have embraced on line bill pay! It's way easier to sit down at laptop and pay than it is to write checks and mail!!! So yeah, I'm doing okay in this department.
*time management ~well I've spent most of my free time sleeping, trying to get rid of this stupid ass cold!! I haven't missed any meetings, so that's something!
Well that wasn't toooo bad!!! Every time I sit down and type this list I feel better about what I have gotten done. I know it doesn't seem like a lot but it's a lot for me, I'm kinda lazy, and a huge procrastinator!! Hopefully I get over this crappy stupid ass cold and can get some more stuff done!! The year is almost a quarter way through and I need to get cracking!!!
