Day 124: May 4, 2010

Hhmmm…I’ve been sick for the past week, so I really don’t feel like I’ve done anything. But let’s see…


(The original list... http://juststuffbytricia.blogspot.com/2009/12/2010.html)

1. Be intentional about my quiet time
I’m still working on this. I did really well last week, but this week I let the busyness get in the way again….*gets back to making it habit again*


2. Pay off all my bills
I did pay off one bill and made a big payment on another….if I can just keep a schedule this will be looking good by the end of the summer :) *crosses fingers*


4. Read 20 books (4/20)
I’m making my way through book #5, Elvis and the Grateful Dead by Peggy Webb. I think I only have about 4-5 chapters left and I have 2 more library books waiting in the wings that aren’t due back until the 16th


8. Tone up and be bikini ready by May
UGH! :-/ Did I mention I’ve been sick? I tried to go running last night and only got one mile and thought my chest would EXPLODE! I coughed my head off for hours after…


9. Buy a new bikini (and be proud to wear it)
Well I tried on a couple more….I can find tops I like, but the bottoms are another story :(


10. Make a new friend
This one is under way too! I know I mentioned the volleyball team…well we’re official and there seem to be some good people on the team! :)


25. Clean out the office
I’ve been lazy on this one. I got the closet done but still need to clean up my craft stuff and get it re-organized. I promise I’ll do some this week…


49. Join a volleyball team
YAY! We’re official! We registered our team and had our first practice. We are the “Setting Ducks” and our first game is on May 17!


60. Buy a pair of designer shoes
OMGsh! I was THIS close to this one on Friday! A friend called me on Thursday and told me that the Neiman’s Outlet had gotten a new shipment and they had Louboutin’s for around $300. I went up there the NEXT day and they were already OUT of anything in my size…WAAAHHHH!

I found a cute pair of Dior I really liked and carried around for an hour while I looked, but in the end they didn’t quite fit right so I decided to wait. But I am SOOOOO going back FREQUENTLY!

I also found a pair of snakeskin Louboutin’s in an online sample sale, but I’m a little hesitant to buy them without trying them on, plus since it’s a sample sale, there’s no guarantee they’ll even have my size in stock…..*sigh…keeps looking*


61. Go see a movie in the theater once a month (6/12)
Wow ~ I was on such a roll with this one….what happened? There’s even stuff out I haven’t seen yet, and wanted to. I think I may see what’s coming out this weekend.


62. Try each type of cheesecake on the menu at Cheesecake Factory (4/32)
Puts this on the to do list this week too! I’m craving some cheesecake anyway!


82. Meet my new nephew (he’s due in May)
Well….the official due date is the 17th, but Renee’s already started dilating and is scheduled to be induced on the 10th unless he decides to come before then!!!


83. Finish my Christmas shopping by October
Hmmm…yeah….haven’t even started. Maybe I should at least make a list.


88. Tell people I love them and not assume they know
I’ve been at least trying to make a point to tell people this more than I use to.


91. Listen to my entire iTunes library (currently 3537 songs)
Haven’t really listened a lot this week, though I did add some more music. Down to 499 songs to listen to….


92. Get a cooler job
I was thinking about this just today….although I’m not doing something I love, I am VERY thankful for the job that I do have. I really do have a pretty good set up. I work from home 3-4 days a week, I make decent money and am able to support myself, I have full benefits and a lot of flexibility to do extra activities, and projects and not work a lot of overtime.

While I certainly wouldn’t turn my nose up at a new opportunity, I may be hard pressed to find something that allows me the same perks I have today. We’ll see what happens…


98. Remember to use my green grocery bags
Still remembering … =D
