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...
If you want to join in, follow the list below!
--
Day 1 - Pride. Seven great things about yourself.
Day 2 - Envy. Seven things you lack and covet.
Day 3 - Wrath. Seven things that piss you off.
Day 4 - Sloth. Seven things you neglect to do.
Day 5 - Greed. Seven worldly material desires.
Day 6 - Gluttony. Seven guilty pleasures.
Day 7 - Lust. Seven love secrets.

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 mudslides. I'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!

Seven Deadly Sins...Wrath
Seven things that piss me off...
1. People who drive below the speed limit. It drives me CRAZY!!
2. People who think they are better than everyone else. Their is nothing that makes me angrier than someone who thinks that their shit don't stink.
3. People who ride your ass or sit in your blind spot. I may have some road rage issues...
4. Republicans. I am a die hard liberal. I don't want to make this political but Republicans make me angrier than anything else. Not people who are moderate about their beliefs, but the ultra conservative Christian right mostly. And really I'm okay with people believing in what they want, but I just can't handle hearing about most of those ultra right wing beliefs.
5. Anyone trying to push their beliefs on me. It doesn't matter what they believe (even if I agree) people who push their beliefs on others piss me off.
6. Pushy salesmen. I hate being pushed around. Usually its car salesmen but I had a bad experience at LA Fitness also.
7. Screwing up in the Kitchen. I get furious when things start to go wrong in the kitchen, weather it is my fault or happenstance I get really angry and commence swearing. Although in the end I usually feel better (as long as the final product turns out okay) but I cook with anger.

End of the Month Checkup
Okay so I'm a day early but I don't think I'm going to make any additional progress towards the goals tomorrow, so here goes...
1. Complete my No Eating Out Challenge- FAIL
2. Read 10 books!- FAIL I only managed to finish 4 books, but I'm in the middle of two more.
3. Sell 2 craft items-FAIL I sold nothing. But I got a bunch of stuff listed. Thats something.
4. Finish Cleaning out old room- FAIL I cleaned out some but I'm not finished yet.
5. Make 2 new recipes- PASS I made a new soup recipe and tried out a brownie recipe.
6. Do Pilates everyday-PASS I did at least a little bit everyday!!
It looks like I failed a lot, but I made progress in everything (except number one) so I feel decent about the month. I'm hopeful that I'll do even better in April though.

3. Sell 2 craft items- I now have 26 items in my shop, getting some views, featured in a treasury, but no sales yet.
