    Well 17 months ago

    I haven’t been able to post a lot, or actually at all due to a lack of internet.
    I did not satart working for pubcrawl and i didn’t take up running again. I am not upset about the first one. As for the running, I will try to really start again this upcoming week.

    Funny how things change. 19 months ago

    I haven’t been visiting my goals at 43things very much due to lack of home service and starting my new job. Now things should be more consistent, and now the season has changed to Spring. All I can say is that I accomplished everything on my last entry for this goal.:)



    This is overdue 20 months ago

    Well, I pretty much know what to put in my essay.

    Haven’t read a single book since last update. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been reading.

    Have been faithfully driving.

    Overall, I think I did pretty well.

    It feels like winter is over and spring has arrived. Time for a final check on this goal. I am thoroughly pleased with the progress I’ve made with my speaking, storytelling and kids’ activities. A very good winter indeed!

    the contest is in 4 days, but we’ve had our practices
    and are ready to go to the contest)
    5. attend storytelling bootcamp
    7.hold a science class for my son and 2 other homeschooling families using “Great Moments in Science
    8. help my youngest son earn his Tiger Badge in cub scouts

    I didn’t finish:
    11.workout 30 times at the local gym

    Winter? 20 months ago

    I just had a lot going on this winter and many of my ongoing goals are dependent on other people, like the bank… We’ve found a place we want to live and have an accepted bid. I’ve been decluttering and packing up like mad. I’ve knit bunches of hats and an afghan for charity and reduced my stash considerably. I funded 43 Kiva loans, which is something I never thought I would do and totally snuck up on me. I got my taxes out early.

    There are still multiple goals on my list that kinda give me angina, like “get a loan”. I just have to be patient… It’ll all be over by the summer.

    To be honest? I was a lazy a$$. Shame on me! No more comments.

    The Girl Who Came in from the Cold 20 months ago

    Although in number, I completed less actual goals this winter, I’ve managed to finish some very important ones and keep on an even keel with a hearty balance of continuing things: happiness, seeing friends & family, being a good mom, Friday haiku, Kiva loans, free rice, reading, knitting, date nights, potty training, various fun, creative, emotional, and health related goals etc.

    The main thing I wanted to focus on over the winter was decluttering our home, and for 80 days straight I did just that. It’s made a huge, huge difference on a number of levels.

    Since my last post I nailed a few more things: Bookcrossing (found, read, released), Hair (colour for me, a cut for Isak), a great clothing swap...

    Some of my new goals are wrapping themselves around the old ones and pulling them towards the finish line, and I feel good about my current pace.

    Now I’ll be coming full circle back to the Spring Goal Challenge. See you there?

    Weekend progress! 20 months ago

    I got most of the things I wanted to do done this weekend, namely…

    1. Move in with my boyfriend. I spent a good chunk of Saturday and a few hours on Sunday packing up his books and cleaning out his kitchen.

    2. Buy an apartment. Still waiting, but they accepted our bid! Now we’re just waiting on money and contracts…

    3. Renovate my bathroom. I talked to my super and went to ask about sinks. My super also knew a good contractor for my bathroom and I asked a neighbor who used him and she gave him a glowing review. I still need to get my groundplan and other things laid out, but I still have time. We’ll still be here for another month at least, although I do want to have everything lined up…

    4. Declutter. I went through my old files and spent some quality time with my shredder. [Sing with me: “It’s a nice day to… clean this out! It’s a… nice day for a… pile of shredding!” I don’t know how Billy Idol would feel about me mangling that…] I also went through my kitchen and cleaned out my dishes and glasses that I’m not taking with me. I also de-decorated and put together a box of tchochkes and craft supplies to go out. I also sent out an invite to all my friends. My boyfriend is going to have a party where people take his things away…

    I’m starting to get totally overwhelmed with the pile of stuff that needs to leave the house. I was thinking I would be able to drop things off at his house, but his house is a big mess right now. I’m crossing my fingers that I can get it out of my house this weekend…

    5. Taxes. Done! I’m ready to mail them off, in envelopes and everything… I think I’ll go ahead and mail them tomorrow morning. I should just get it over with.

    Update #5 20 months ago

    Goals I want to make habits

    1. Drink a full glass of water when I get up in the morning
    2. Drink water with every meal
    3. Eat at home more often
    4. Go to bed after music night
    5. Walk in the evening

    Now that the sun is out later, it’s easier to walk in the evening after work. Going to bed after music night is a joke. I might just learn to embrace not going to bed after music night.

    Goals I want to achieve

    1. Inventory my purse
    2. Make avocado fudge
    3. Spend money only on food and necessities from Feb. 22 through Mar. 21

    I checked my credit card statement yesterday, and I’m well below my spending this time last month. I did break down and buy a couple things, but I’ll talk about that elsewhere. I still have a couple weeks to inventory my purse.

    Goals I want to make progress on

    1. Make my NaSoAlMo album bigger and better – For the winter, I’d like to work on one song per month.
    2. Surf the Web or read a book at five different coffeehouses – I’ll commit myself to two coffeehouse trips in the next three months
    3. Make MP3s from my LPs

    I wrote and recorded a song this month. I’m saving it for the CD. I made some Mp3s. I think I’m going to give up on the surfing/reading at a coffeehouse goal. It’s not as appealing as it was when I posted it.

    Overall, I’m doing very well.
