End of the week goal checkup

1.  Gym twice a week-  I did it!  By the skin of my teeth since my first trip was last night and the second was this morning, but I did it!  Thats why I decided to post this today instead of yesterday. 

2.  Finish cleaning old room- hahahaha.  no new progress.

3.  Make 2 new recipes- no new progress.  A new brownie recipe has been on my to-do list for a week but I haven't made it yet.

4.  Make some extra income- I'm working on starting my partylite business (my starter show is scheduled for the 21), all my etsy stuff is listed and its just a matter of waiting it feels like.  I'm also working on booking new shows for partylite. 

5.  Submit Flex Spend-  I have to wait on this til my 2 doctor appointments next Friday.  With these two it will eat up the last of my flex spend monies so I figured it was best just to wait until I had all the reciepts and can get all my money back.

6.  Make some crafts for sale.- I bought some new stamping supplies so I figured I'd work on some more paper crafts soon. Haven't actually done anything yet though.

7. The forgotten goal- read 10 books.  So far I've finished one and I'm almost done with a second, and halfway through a third.

Seven Deadly Sins...Sloth

Seven things I neglect to do...

I'm kind of a procrastinator in general and easily forget to do things so this is an easy list for me :)

Wash the Dog- this has been on my to-do list for almost a month I think.  It's so hard to work up the energy to do this

Clean out my car- I always seem to find a reason not to.

Go to the gym- again I always come up with a reason not to go.

Clean the house- I could have broken this out into various tasks but in general I slack off on cleaning.  It doesn't help that Wesley is much more of a neat freak than I and breaks down on cleaning first.  Except the bathroom I seem to be the one who freaks out and cleans there.

Making Phone Calls- Whether it is returning a call, making an appointment or whatever, its hard for me to work up the energy to do this for some reason.  Everyone should just email, I'm good at that.

Returning items- I can easily work up energy to go buy things, but I'm much worse at getting rid of them.

Hanging Pictures- pictures can sit around for a good solid month before I work up the energy to grab a hammer and a nail and put it up.  I just keep telling myself I'm still deciding where it should go...

Weekly Money Check-Up

This post is part of My Pretty Pennies Weekly Money Check Up.   

1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on a student loan payment- $151.
2. Today I am thankful for mudslidesI'm enjoying one as I type. 
3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was learn how to quilt.  I made my first quilt block!  I have to wait for the second class to finish it.
4. I will consider this week a success if I manage to wash the dog.  I've been slacking.
5. The last dream I had was some bizarre dream involving a weird version of my Grad school.  I can barely remember it.

Goals for April

Here goes the new goals for April

1.  Gym twice a week- I'd really like to go for three times, but we'll start with twice a week for my goal and bump it up to 3 times for May hopefully.

2.  Finish cleaning old room-  oh the perpetual goal is back again.  I feel I have to keep putting it on this list until I actually accomplish it.

3.  Make 2 new recipes-  I did it last month, I can do it again!  I have plans for a new soup and to try another brownie recipe.

4.  Make some extra income-  I have my stuff on etsy to sell, some things I might put on ebay, some old books for Amazon, and I might become a partylite consultant. Thats a lot of opportunities for extra income, so we'll see how it goes!

5.  Submit Flex Spend-  I have some receipts saved to submit for my flex spend refund and I really need to get around to doing it.

6.  Make some crafts for sale.-  I want to work on more projects to list.  Nothing specific in mind yet, but I need to make more things. 

I think 6 goals is sufficient for this month.  We'll see how it goes!
