Re: Motivational Tuesday

  • Try my hand at an egg free cake for Wes.  I want to try it a time or two before his party.

    How? Just have to make sure I have a couple hours in the evening to do it.

    Wes: 10/8/2012


  • This week I NEED to finalize plans for L's first trip to Disney, start working on my best friend's bridal shower, and start working on L's first birthday party. 

    I'm going to stop scouring Pinterest and start actually doing stuff.

  • What do you want to accomplish this week? Eat clean, get back on a workout schedule, up my water intake. 

    How are you going to do it? Suck it up, buttercup. I've been the queen of excuses the past week. I will not take any more of my own bullshit.

    What do you want to accomplish this week?  Make a decision on the position I was just offered 20 minutes ago.

    How are you going to do it? Scream, cry, yell, rationalize, reason, make a decision, regret the decision, live with the decision.

  • What to accomplish? Exercise! I should get cleared by the dr tomorrow! I really miss exercise. I also need to send out Alex's birth announcements and some stuff to my sister.
    How? As long as the drs appt goes well everything should fall into place.
  • I want to start actually using the elliptical that we just bought, instead of walking past it everyday and avoiding "eye contact".

    I guess I am going to have to force myself to get up early to exercise. Even just a half hour would be a great start for me. I just don't see any other way to squeeze it in. I actually enjoy exercising in the morning better. Since having Beau, I got into the habit of trying to squeeze in every last second of sleep I can, so it will be hard to start it back up.

  • Accomplish: keep to my points, walk the dog every day and yoga classes, as usual. This week I want to add - make some Skinnytaste pumpkin muffins, go to be earlier, and clean out the bedroom closet, then make a Goodwill run.
  • Sign the sales contract for my new apartment.
    Tried today, but the entire train system shut down all over the country just at the time I was supposed to be going to the meeting. I called and the realtor rescheduled for tomorrow. I will work from home to make sure I'm in town in case the trains crap out again.

    Find a cat sitter for this weekend.
    Contacted a friend. Waiting to hear back.

    Get the money for the down payment from XH.
    Sent him an SMS since he's out of the country. He said his refinancing loan went through on our old place, so he sent the money today! Hooray for having a bunch of money in my account (for a little while), and hooray for having one thing done this week!

  • Send out Brynne's birth announcements. She's two months tomorrow, I'm so behind.
  • I'm planning the princess' 10th birthday party.

    I have absolutely no fecking clue how I'm going to make it all happen.

    @MrsJenE HOLD THE PHONE. How are you going to just sneak this in here like that?

    Congratulations!  Was it for one of the three positions you interviewed with last week when you had a migraine?

    Good luck making a decision.  Major life decisions suck!

    Apparently, having a migraine looks good on me.  I got an offer from one interview and a second interview out of one of the others.  Gah!  Decision time!

    @MrsJenE That's awesome!  Can you use the first offer to push the second interview for a faster decision?  (Do you even like the first offer?)

  • My only goal this week was to go to the doctor to set up a relationship with a primary care provider for the first time ever (I have some anxiety surrounding going to the doctor). And I did that today, so the rest of the week is just gravy.

    Oh, I also vacuumed yesterday. So there's that.

    That's what I'm doing.  ;)

    The first offer is just okay.  I might be selling myself too short if I take it.

    Congrats I hope that the second gets back to you so you can think about which would be the best fit.

We're going to get food and other party supplies tomorrow, and I'll be baking the cupcakes early Sunday morning. I also need to wrap DD's birthday presents.
