Well here's my update for this week...still chugging along, but I'm starting to feel behind :-/ Maybe the summer will bring lots of fun and new opportunities!
original list: http://juststuffbytricia.blogspot.com/2009/12/2010.html
1. Be intentional about my quiet time
Well I started the week with good intentions….I’ve not been consistent everyday but I am spending more time. I just need to get back to my daily intentional routine, I miss it and I KNOW it will be a blessing.
4. Read 20 books (5/20)
I finally read The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. Funny story…my mom had given me this book when it first came out, after she read it, then I misplaced it. When the movie came out a couple of months back I decided to go ahead and read it, since we enjoyed the movie so much. I couldn’t find it ANYWHERE! I looked and looked. So I put a hold on it at the local library.
Understand my mom is a VORACIOUS reader. She must give me at least half a dozen books a month. I obviously am not quite as fast as she is, so I have stacks of books in the closet and in my bookcase that I haven’t even read.
So after a month and a half wait, the book finally comes in. I picked it up on Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday, I’m looking through a stack books telling a friend how many I have and offering my own library services and what do I find?! The Last Song! I had it all along! ….DUH! :-/
Anyway, I read it in about a week and really enjoyed it! As per usual, the book is better than the movie so I’m glad I saw it first so I wasn’t disappointed in the movie, but even so the movie was still good and did actually follow most of the story, with a few minor detail changes.
Hmmm….what to read next???
I know this was already marked off, but I bought another CD on release day this week. Rooney released their new offering, Eureka last Tuesday and I made a point to go find it. Although it was a little stressful…
I stopped at Wal-Mart on the way home from work and couldn’t find it. My store is in the process of remodeling so there was hardly anything on the music shelves. So I went and asked if maybe it just hadn’t been put out yet, because I know they do that and have had to ask for it before.
The jerk at the Electronics counter apparently couldn’t be bothered to go look! He tells me where it should be, so I suggest that maybe its in the back...He tells me, “Well, I don’t have a code to look up and see.” Are you kidding me?! Can’t you walk your lazy ass back there and check?! I politely respond, “Maybe you could GO look” *smile* He calls over some poor high school kid and tells him to go look…ON THE SHELF! Where I have already scoured. This poor kid walks over there, I explain again that I have already LOOKED over here and maybe, just MAYBE it’s in the back. He’s all confused and obviously can’t do it either. “Ya know what! Thanks for nothing I’ll give someone ELSE my money!” *huff* …obviously I didn’t say that out loud, I just offered “Yeah Thanks” but I’m sure he knew I was perturbed.
THEN…I totally would have just left, but I was picking up something for VBS, so I just got that and left. I’m walking out to my car and there is a lady parked 2 spaces over from me, with an empty space in between. She’s loading her stuff in her car and then leaves her cart in the empty space between us. I put my pool noodles in the back of my SUV and walk around to my door, and the wind had blown her stupid cart into my DOOR! And she was still sitting there WATCHING IT! BEYOTCH!!!
I’ve decided that people at Wal-Mart area FREAKING LAZYYYY!!!!
UGH! Now I’m worked up again….*deep breaths*
Oh yay! This makes me feel better :D
I bought myself flowers this week and they are sooo pretty….Red and white roses to be exact. They are sitting on my dining room table right now.
24. Complete 12 scrapbook pages (0/12)
Hmmm….still didn’t start this task, but I decided I’m going to do pages for all the concerts Goose and I have gone to this past year. That’s at least half of my 12 pages. :)
• Jonas Brothers (Dallas and San Antonio)
• Switchfoot
• Nick Jonas and the Administration
• Honor Society
• Bamboozle Road Show
28. Get the 3Gs
Well….you know I shattered my screen a couple of months ago. No, technically Goose did it! Anyway, so it was going to cost the same amount to replace the glass as it would for a new phone. However, I didn’t qualify for the upgrade yet….so I waited. I qualified this week for the new one and had been debating on going to get the 3GS, which I’d been wanting anyway, or waiting to see if they released the 4 sometime this summer. Guess what!? They announced last week that the 4 comes out next week! AND….pre-orders started TODAY!
So while I don’t technically have it in my hand quite yet….I just pre-ordered the iPhone 4!!! I can’t WAIT! *jumps up and down*
47. Exercise at least 4 times a week, religiously
I started a 100 push ups challenge…you increase your reps each time and by the end of 6 weeks you should be able to do 100. Today I did, 35! I also started the 200 sit-ups challenge as well. Same thing, I did 131 yesterday.
I haven’t run since last week though because it’s too dang hot! Plus I sprained my ankle at volleyball practice last week and it’s still tender. Oh speaking of volleyball, I did play in last nights game even with my horrible injury (hehehe) but we WON! Well one game anyway, and only lost another by 2 points. GO DUCKS!!
91. Listen to my entire iTunes library (currently 3980 songs)
Yes….I’ve added new music since last week, 124 songs to be exact! :P But….only 106 left to listen to…so at least I’m listening more than I’m adding. :)
101. Journal / Blog my achievements on this list
I think I’m doing pretty good at this right?
So I already know some more will be marked off next week. Slow and steady wins the race…right?
