A Night of Vision Boarding!
Good evening!
I have spent the past hour gathering pics from Polyvore to create an electronic Vision Board!!
The things that I am dreaming of is a passionate marriage, traveling, yoga, dancing, France, faith, family, friends, farm-living, photography, books, and a crystal chandelier for good measure!!
Anyway, I am getting back to journaling and time/goal management, which I realize are two different things, but I have found that since having not being consistent with these 2 things I have not been as happy as I normally am – not that I am sad, just not as happily as I could be! Nor am I getting as much done as I usually do! So, tomorrow morning, I am back to spending some time writing my morning pages, and I will have my to-do list written before I head to bed this evening!
Matter of fact, here it is:
- At least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise
- Drink at least 2 liters of water
- Take iron pill
- Eat a healthy breakfast
- Eat a healthy lunch
- Eat a healthy home-cooked dinner
- Write morning pages
- Morning skin care routine
- Recycle at least 10 magazines
- Do a load of dishes
- 1/2 hour art studio clean
- Put laundry away
- Sweep floors
- Spend at least 10 minutes meditating
- Get in bed by9 pm
Ok, I think that list is long enough! 😉
Oh, I wanted to share some micro goals that I have come up with:
- Lose 7.6 pounds
- Finish cleaning art studio
- Make sure all books in this house have a place to “live”
These are small enough that they will get me closer to a few of my big goals, and they are small enough as to not be overwhelming! 😉
Have a FABULOUS evening! 😉
PS. I will “see” you Chunky Dunkers tomorrow evening, at about 7-ish!! 😉
Dreaming of Fall!
Good evening! I am dreaming of Fall! Scrumptious grey rainy days, sloshing around in puddles with the kiddies, hot cocoa and mini-marshmallows with friends, thick feather comforters and a lovely good book, fuzzy-warm slippers on a crisp and cold morning, snuggling with the ones you …

AAAAACK!
Good evening!
AAACK!! Only 15 minute until I have to get this post posted!!! EEK!! Remember, I am trying to post at least once EVERY day for at least one year, and I am almost just 3 months away from making that goal!! I DO NOT WANT TO START OVER AGAIN!!! 😉
Oh my gosh!!! Talk about cutting it close!! I have just gotten home from a GREAT day hanging out with friends!!
First thing this morning we headed over to my girlfriend Fahlene’s place, in Independence, and Jason helped her dad assemble some captains beds for Fahlene’s nephews! I helped Fahlene and her mom sort and fold a bunch of clothes for the boys too!
After leaving Fahlene’s place, and making arrangements for Fahlene to meet me tonight for Girl’s Night, Jason and I then went to Annette’s in West Salem to have lunch. We had never been there before and thought it might be fun to try something new, and MAN we were NOT disappointed!! The place reminded me of the diner in Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe! They had great old time jazz playing, beautiful decor, delicious food, HUGE portions, and the people were SUPER friendly, and the prices were very reasonable!!! We will be back!!! We even bought our lunch for tomorrow from there, on the way out the door!! I can’t wait!!
Anyway, Jason and I then headed over to my girlfriend, Dawn’s place to help move a washer, dryer, and refrigerator because they were selling them to another friend. I caught Jason bringing the dryer up a flight of stairs by himself – no dolly!!! I worry about that man! He isn’t 21 anymore!!
After we were done there, Jason headed out with Errin to have some guy fun, playing video games, and Dawn, Sammy, and I headed out to go to my girlfriend, Rachel’s place, where we met up with Fahlene to have dinner and fun for our Girls’ Night! After dinner we had so much fun playing cards, laughing, and getting to know each other – SO MUCH FUN!!! 😉
What a great day!! I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!!! WHEW JUST MADE IT!! 😉
Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉
