I’ve gotten in the habit of brushing at least once a day. That’s a good start. Often I brush twice. Never 3 times a day though.
Now that I am pregnant my gums bleed a lot adn are very tender. But apparently that is a common pregnacy symptom. They were doing really good before I got pregnant.
I was very motivated for a long time on this. I even went out and bought the entire Bible on cd so I could listen while driving. But somehow I stopped listening to them. I’ll try to make sure I put them in my van tonight so that I at least have them in there. That way when I’m wanting something to listen to they are at least available.
I’ve gotten my desk pretty cleaned up. I have to get Quickbooks updated from teh last month – then I have to work up a budget to organize the bills. Then I’ll be pretty set to keep up on my organization. Yay! Finally!
Well – since I’m pregnant now – I don’t see this goal happening for quite some time – lol! There’s nothing greater than a pregnant belly though! I’m sure I’ll be working on this goal again come March or so. :-)
I’ve had 3 pedicures since I made this goal almost 2 years ago. I absolutely love them! I will hopefully get one again this month sometime and then once more in late February or early March before the baby comes.
I still swear when the situation permits it – joking & stuff.
For a while I was getting very foul mouthed – Ron even commented about it. But I’ve improved. It took conscious effort at first, but now it is no big deal. When I do swear – I realize I did it and I stop.
Sunday I practiced with the shotgun – shot at the clay pigeons after Ron’s trap team shot. I didn’t do too bad for my very first time I don’t think. It was ok. Not that thrilling – I’ll try again sometime and see if I like it more when it’s not as new.
Now I really want to learn how to shoot a handgun. Not that I’ll ever need it – but I figure it’s good to know how.
I’ve pretty much completely stopped!! My nails are kinda nice looking! I think it’s cause I’m less stressed.
All the bedrooms are pretty good now. There is a bedroom closet that is full of stuff we need to go through – but the rest of the upstairs is pretty good. Nothing an hour of cleaning wouldn’t fix.
The laundry room is 1000% better than before -but I should catch up on some laundry. Now I need to do the garage, kitchen, living room, and office. They aren’t horrible – well the office is pretty bad – but the rest isn’t too bad.
Then I’m going to paint the walls in the house. The whole house eventually – we’ll do the downstairs first since it’s seen more often.
While I’ve come to believe as humans it’s not possible to be 100% unselfish all the time – I think I’m doing good. I’ve found that a lot of the problem is that Ron spoils me. He won’t say what he wants to do – he insists on doing what I want. I make sure to get him to do what he wants now and again. Things like that bring us a lot closer together.
Well I found a church that we really like! It’s First Presbyterian in Manitowoc. They are somewhat liberal but still follow the Bible’s rules. The pastor has agreed to do our beach wedding in August. We feel comfortable there and they have a very active youth program. (that’s something I care about – I want to have children someday – I’m also interested in being ivolved with the high school aged youth group)
The only problem is that being self employed Sunday is our only day off. We like to sleep in. My goal is to go at least 2 times a month throughout summer. Once a month they have a contemporary service at 5pm Sunday – we might try going to that too. That time of day would be so much better. But then again we should make it a priority and just get our lazy butts out of bed in the morning…
I pretty much never swear anymore in anger. Everyone’s gonna slip now and again but almost never. I’m not angry much anymore at all. My relationship has gotten so much better with Ron and life in general is better too.
Our relationship is so much better. We have more fun that ever. We’ve learned that instead of yelling when we get mad (and it’s usually over stupid small stuff) we just agree to talk about it at a later time when we’re not upset.
Ron and I have been getting along so much better lately. Everyone has always said we are the perfect couple – and our relationship was never as bad as anyone’s we know.. but I was just always angry and I hated that. But for the last 6 months or so we have been 100% better. We talk through things and when we get annoyed we agree to talk about it later. That seems to work really well.
We’ve been in busines since 10/2003 and although I can’t say it’s easy – it’s definitely been worth it!
Got my teeth cleaned at the dentist last month. It wasn’t too bad actually – I was surprised. Once a day is an improvement I guess. I still want to get to 3 time a day – or at least twice and flossing – but I just never get around to doing it.
Ok. I still need to work on this one a little. But other than MySpace, I’m hardly online anymore. We got the internet back at home which helps.
I’ve learned that I just need something to look at. So I have a mini dvd player here and I watch movies while I work. I stop in when a customer comes or the phone rings (the customer never know about it – that would be tacky) and I’ve gotten so much work done. I’m almost caught up on everything – and I was really far behind on everything!!
I still have more catching up to do – but there’s been a definite improvement!
I still am working on this one too. Ron and I have found a church we like and I have been more religious in general, but regular praying has really been a problem for me..
When pastor was here talking to us about the wedding, he ended the meeting with a prayer – and I tensed up just like I always do when praying with a small group of people. I can handle praying in church with everyone, but alone or with a small group of people just tenses me up. I must be crazy.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this one.
Obviously didn’t meet that goal. But I bought the Bible on CD and have been listening to it in the car. I’m almost through Genesis I think.
Someday I’ll complete this.
