Goal Post

Here's the goals from a couple weeks ago:
1) make a massive mailing Not yet done...but I'm making progress!

2) quilt 2 more diamonds and finish the half quilted one. Well, the total then was 11 done, I now have 15 1/2 done and 2 1/2 to go. Almost finished!!

3) exercise at least once I have exercised..but not in the way I intended. I've found that with this new schedule I don't have the alone time in the night like I used to because I'm switching to days for my blocks off work. (this is a very good thing) So instead of doing Richard Simmons I'm going back to what I did when I first returned to work. During the dead of the night I'm taking 15min to walk laps around the floor. Looks strange to my coworkers but I'm getting good exercise 3 nights a week. So far I've done it twice this week.

4) call and make all the appointments that are accumulating on my todo list. done! yippee!! only thing left on that todo list is mailing the giveaways.

5) replenish my snuggleometer. Have to say the snuggleometer is doing rather well right now. Again having a couple days a week to be on DAYS with the family helps tremendously!


Now, for next week.

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.

:-)

we'll see how it goes!

Tuesday Thankfulness

Evansmom over at Just Sayin does a bit she calls Thankful Thursdays. Each Thursday she makes a list of things that she is thankful for that week. I happen to think this is THE BEST idea!!

Seeing as how I already have a regularly scheduled Thursday post (have you played yet??) I'm going to join her on Thankful Tuesday!! And I encourage you to join here on Tuesday and then go there on Thursday to double your weekly thankfulness!

Things I am thankful for:

I am thankful that I have a loving husband who will drop everything just to listen when I call from work to vent off my frustrations.

I am thankful that my kids are all starting to talk. Every week they are more intelligible.

I am thankful that I work with wonderful people.

I am thankful that our country has the potential to be an even greater place to live in the future.

I am thankful that I was born in America and never had to face choosing between a career, a family, or moving across the world in the hopes of a better life....as have many of my coworkers.

I am thankful that I got off my butt and walked the hospital floor for 15 min during the dead of the night tonight....for details see tomorrow's goal post!

I am thankful for all of the kind folks who leave comments on this blog and brighten my night.


There's my list...one for each day between today and next Tuesday. So, now it's your turn...what are you thankful for??

Hello Old Friends

I've been off of the computer for a couple days. So I have about 100 posts in my reader to make my way through. Hang tight..I'll be by sooner or later!

Funny thing is that since I'm on the computer all the time at work, either charting or playing when I get home I'm not as interested in turning the thing on. I must say the exception to this statement is Farmville. Now that my kids are all interested in planting and picking those crops I've started planning crops for times when the kids will be around.....sigh. Not only did they INSIST that we put a fence around the animals that never move....now Sonshine wants a WINDMILL!! He's always loved windmills and once he saw that we could buy one for the farm he was hooked! Of course, windmills cost 100,000 coins and I only have about 25,000 coins so he's gonna just have to wait...we'll call it a lesson in delayed gratification and saving money HAHA!! Oh and I don't even want to talk about how he has me playing pac-man now! I've hated pac-man all my life!! aarrggh. (just me polishing my mommy-halo)

Now, about goals. You'll notice that I didn't set any new ones for this week...I'll get back to that on Wed. My work schedule has finally settled into a nice rhythm of work Sun, Mon, Tues...off Wed-Sat. rinse and repeat.

This means that I will be able to achieve more goals as I always do better with a set routine.

I will tell you that I am 2.5 diamonds from having the quilting done on this quilt! yippee! I'm soooo looking forward to moving on to the next project and marking that one off my todo list!!

Oh yes, and you have UNTIL THURSDAY to enter your definitions for this week's Thesaurus Thursday game so scroll down and join in!!! Leave more than one!!
