Forgot to do my goal post yesterday.
So last week's goals were:
1) finish quilting the baby quilt. Only 12 days left to get it finished for school!!
2) continue with exercising
3) get this stuff mailed.
The only thing I did on this list was to walk at work a couple times.
So, same goals for this week, wish me luck!
ON TO THE GAME!
