Changing things up

This weeks goals are: 

Monday – write at least 10 thank you notes.  

Tuesday – cook dinner and clean kitchen.  

Wednesday – go to gym and clean bathrooms. 

Thursday – make sure all clothes are put away prior to going to work (friend arrives today!).  

Friday – Friend in town!  Have fun!  

Saturday – Friend in town!  Have fun!  

Sunday – prep for the coming week (pack lunch; pick up house; do laundry; grocery shop; etc.)

Though, I'm not sure the above will actually work out.  Today we're celebrating Father's Day with the husband's family.  This will put a dent in time available to write said thank you notes.  I'm still going to give it a shot, but I might only get 5 done instead of the 10.  Here's my amendment for the week:

Write 20 Thank You notes over the course of the week

Cook dinner at least one night this week (probably either Tuesday or Wednesday, but maybe not till Saturday or Sunday)

Go to the gym TWICE (I went twice last week! Yay!)

Clean up Kitchen, bathrooms, clean up living/dining room, and clean up spare room (mainly put away clothes) before Thursday when friend arrives (I started a bit of the kitchen cleaning last night)

HAVE FUN!

Pack lunch for Monday on Sunday night.

Basically the same list just opening it up to be moved around various days instead of sticking to the previous order.  Sometimes you just have to move things around.  Life is about balance.  I'm NOT going to miss out on dinner with the family just because I have a to-do list.  I'll figure out another time to get these things done.  If only I didn't need so much sleep...

As Nike would say...

Here’s my plan for blogging: JUST DO IT.  More specifically, I’m going to make sure I post on Mondays from now on.  Might be first thing in the morning, might not be until before I go to bed at night but I WILL post EVERY Monday.

So, here we go…  First Monday blog in a loooong time!

This week: I’m going to the gym!  I went ahead and packed my gym bag this morning so I’m all set to go right after work.  In addition to the gym, I need to get to organizing/cleaning my house a little because we have a friend coming in from out of town next week!

Next week I’ll be focusing on daily goals.  

Monday – write at least 10 thank you notes.  

Tuesday – cook dinner and clean kitchen.  

Wednesday – go to gym and clean bathrooms. 

Thursday – make sure all clothes are put away prior to going to work (friend arrives today!).  

Friday – Friend in town!  Have fun!  

Saturday – Friend in town!  Have fun!  

Sunday – prep for the coming week (pack lunch; pick up house; do laundry; grocery shop; etc.)

Obviously, these aren't the ONLY things I'll be doing on those days, but they are the one thing I want to make SURE happens.

Week of June 25 – Pack lunches at least 3 days.  (I really need to get back on this regularly!)

Wedding update:

For anyone keeping track of my post-wedding to-do’s I’ve officially started the name change process (Social Security office) and hope to do the other major part (Secretary of State/License update) this week.  After that I just have to change my name with work, banks, credit cards, doctors, etc.  If you have any suggestions on anything I might have overlooked, let me know!

How Many Ways Can You Say...

"back on the wagon"?

Here’s the thing – I just cannot manage to get into regular posting.  I want to, and then I get lazy.  So, this week’s resolution (even though now the week is half over!) is to figure out a way to get myself to post every week.  Any suggestions?

Next week, I have GOT to get back to the gym.  It’s been over a month since I’ve been and I miss how good I feel when I work out regularly (it’s also been over 2 weeks since I’ve done ANY sort of fitness activity at all – I’m DEFINITELY starting to feel it).

June 4 – Get back in to posting EVERY week on the blog - IE: Stop being so lazy about typing up a few sentences!

June 11 – Get back to the gym!

After that... well, I haven't thought beyond next week.  I'll think about it and hopefully have a definitive answer on Monday on what the June 18th week will look like.  :-)
