Re: I forgot to post Motivational Monday yesterday...

  • My goals are still writing related. I got 9K down in the last week, and I want to get another 10 done in the next week. I'm going to accomplish that by doing what I've been doing. Working through lunch and as soon as L falls asleep. Except for tomorrow, cause I gots a date night scheduled with my @hoycie to see City of Bones. 

    It would also be great if I could clean my house at some point this week. But I probably won't get to that till the weekend.

  • I would like to start working on getting my fall wardrobe organized.  I know I have a lot of clothes that will not fit me any more that I can give to my mom.  I would like to get those out of my closet and figure out what I need to purchase to bulk up the fall wardrobe.

    I figure the best way to go about this would be to not just sit in the closet with a bottle of wine.

  • I have a list of things that need to get done around the house (rooms and closets that need to be organized, clothes that need to be sorted, etc.). I'd like to get one of those things tackled by the end of the week.

    Get to the gym M-W because I'm not going to be able to go Th & possibly Sat. Last week I hardly went so I need to get back in the habit.
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

  • I have to finish getting the kids ready for school but we are heading to Walmart on Friday before we go to the cabin for the weekend.  I go back to work next week so I need to spend a bunch of time out in the garden while I have the time.  I too should be checking out my closet for the fall as well as the kids closet.  Too much to do before we leave on Friday!

  • Survive the week? We have a wedding near the Cape Friday and J's at a conference all day through Wednesday. I'm not sure how I'm going to get anything done.

    Make baby food before the fruit turns
    Pack the truck load of stuff Wes will need this weekend
    Pack my bags
    Wash an infant tuxedo
    Try like hell to stay within my points this week.

  • My goal this week is to clean my house. That is all.

     

    What I'm going to do? Probably keep putting it off until Sunday evening but the procrastination can't pass Monday because book club is meeting at my house on Tuesday.

  • My goals this week are trying to enjoy this vacation and working on Christmas knitting projects. I want all that stuff done by November so I'm not rushing in December.

    To accomplish I'm going to have to tune out some of my vacation companions I think. Contrary to what they think, an organic bread is not the same thing as a gluten free bread, especially since the third ingredient is an unspecified flour. Instead of explaining the difference and then getting lectured to, I will strive to politely say no and move on. This may require clenching my teeth together to stop the words. As for the knitting, other than taking a break from it for a minute to post this, I'm sitting outside on the rocking chair, watching the lake while knitting. So that one is easy when I want to be alone.

  • I want to clean the apartment, finish the laundry, go grocery shopping, and get a gift for my friend's birthday...which is tomorrow. I would also like to finish the book I'm on and read another. Next week is going to be so busy and will continue being that way for at least a month so I won't have as much time for housework or reading.

    I'm hoping that by doing a few things each day and grocery shopping Thursday that I can get it all done and read all weekend.

  • I'm going to walk 4x on lunch at work this week.  I brought my sneakers with me today to accomplish this.  I already did it once yesterday.

    I am also going to do some writing.  I did start a second draft over the weekend of my m/s but I think I'm going to have to scrap it all and start again.

  • I am going to try to walk 5 days this week. It's going to be hard because the weather has turned hot again.

    Work on getting the house organized.

    Try to stay sane.

  • I really need to get my bathroom put together.  I did a bunch of work on it, but I didn't finish it.  I still have to put the sticky tiles down and then orgainize.  To do this I just need to put my mind to it.  Its really not that hard to do.  Plus I need to think of all of the box that I could get rid of that are sitting in the bathroom and bedroom.

    Sixth Anniversary 1000 Comments Combo Breaker

    My next semester of nursing school starts Monday so getting the house organized/cleaned as well as organizing and prepping for school are top priorities. Saturday I'll be running a 5k race and next month I have a half marathon so I'll be running as much as possible. I'd like to do an 8+ mile long run in preparation. Lastly, I've been reading a book a day for the last couple of days and would like to continue with that through this week. I'm trying to fit in as much reading for pleasure as I can before I switch to textbooks : )

  • This week I'd like to:

    Think of clever things for the "classy" Bachelorette party I'm hosting Saturday
    Finish And the Mountains Echoed
    Stop being sick
    Work on scrapbooking
    Learn to meal plan

    How I'll do this:

    Add two hours to each day (yeah, right..)
    Take antibiotics for the sickness
    Set certain time aside so I can read, learn to meal plan, and scrapbook also stop watching Pretty Little Liars on Netflix because I'm obsessed.

  • I'd like to stay within my points this week. Try two new recipes - one crockpot and one freezer meal. Take the dog for a walk at least 6/7 days.  Yoga class twice this week.  I've got my bulletin boards up in the classroom, so I would like to get my desk organized and start making curriculum calendars. 
  • I need to finish organizing my house. It's a bit of a mess.
    I need to finish writing my effing book. I'm so close, but still stalling on the last few chapters.

    No idea how I'm going to accomplish these other than work my butt off over the next few days.

    • I need to update my website. I want to redo some graphics on there.
    • Also, need to find some inspiration photos for the cover art of my first book.
    • And writing is always a goal. I'm at 31K words on my WIP. I'd like to end the week at 45K. This is going to be difficult since I'm going through and changing the whole thing from present tense to past tense.
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

  • I need to run 5 times this week.
    I don't want to nap after work everyday, because it makes me sleep poorly at night.
    I want to clean a different room each day, so I am not swamped on the weekend and can actually relax and enjoy it.


    I am going to do all three by getting my ass out of this recliner.

  • 1.  Still planning Natalie's baptism for this Sunday!  I need to sit down and make a to-do list.  I think I have all my bases covered, but I know I need to buy some things at the grocery store still!

    2.  Sit down and READ for an extended period of time.  I miss my reading time :(( I'm not going to worry about doing house related stuff or messing around on the internet when I get some free time--just going to sit with my book and enjoy it!
