First let’s see how I did with my September Goals:
1. Read a book – the whole thing FAILED
2. Join a gym FAILED
3. Pay off credit cards FAILED4. Decide on a haircut
5. Fix ceiling in kitchen/den FAILED
6. Smoothalize ceiling in downstairs bathroom FAILED
7. Paint the rest of the trim in the downstairs FAILED8. Remember to take my birth control pill everyday 9. Send out invites for Brook’s Baby Shower
3 outta 9 ain’t that bad. I set my goals really high so that I may land upon clouds (or however that quote goes). On the up side, I got through chapter 9 in my book…which is 9 more chapters than I have read in a really LONG time. I am about $800 short on finishing off the last pesky credit card…so this month should be the month that does it. And I did do the first coat on the trim.
Regrettably, I will not be joining a gym anytime soon. I hurt my knee playing indoor soccer and now I must go to get an MRI – quite possibly have surgery. suck. I have not even looked at the ceilings in the kitchen or bathroom but it is definitely nice to have one in our basement now….so there’s my silver lining 🙂
And yes – since putting my goals out there, I have remembered my pill everyday! So congratulations are due. Go ahead, congratulate fertile Mertyl on NOT getting pregnant 🙂
And here is the main course: GOALS FOR OCTOBER
1. Finishing reading the book from September & read one more
2. Walk two miles everyday
3. Pay off credit cards
4. Get the decided upon haircut
5. Bake two pumpkin related desserts
6. Decorate the outside of the house for fall
7. Paint the rest of the trim in the downstairs
8. Remember to take my birth control pill everyday
9. Decide on menu, gift, games, and details for Brook’s Baby Shower
10. Write my grandparents a letter two times
11. Decide and make killer costumes for Halloween
Note that #1 will be the hardest, then #2 and #8. Also, #11 does not imply that we will be costumed as ‘killers’ but probably as fictional characters…those are our favorites.
