I think there is something wrong with me because I feel like my entire house is totally organized. Weird, huh?
2. Run, walk or crawl a Marathon, half marathon, 10k, and 5k race this year.
I still haven’t signed up yet for a marathon or a 10k but I do have my eye on a few different races. And, {not that this is a valid excuse, but I need to order a new pair or running shoes}.
3. Remodel our Master Bathroom, Master Closet and Monkey Boy’s Bathroom. Done!
4. Finish Every Room in Our House.
I think I found a round table that might work in the dining room. {Fingers crossed}
5. Turn Spare Bedroom into a Cozy Home Office Space for myself. Done!
6. Create a Vegetable Garden. Done!
7. Build a Path into the Hillside for Easy Access to the Upper Garden. Done!
We decided to invest in a fence instead. {Best decision ever!}
8. Limit my personal spending to $100 a month.
I scored big at the Goodwill this week when I bought 3 yards of this grey plaid wool for just $4.99 +tax. Normally I pay between $20-$24 a yard for the wool I use in my hooked rug. I can’t wait to dye this up.
So far in September I’ve spent $8.12
In August I Spent $27.29
In July I spent $50.82
In June I spent $6.00.
In May I spent $26.50.
In April I Spent $18.46.
In March I Spent $42.44.
In February I Spent $32.52
In January I Spent $84.33
9. Purge… Weekly. Find 10 things each week to donate to the thrift store. Done.
Mission accomplished. Not only was I able to donate a boatload of stuff to the thrift store, but I also made $473 at our yard sale selling my old stuff too.
10. Read 1 book a week. – My goal is to read 52 books this year.
I just started reading A Fall of Marigolds by Susan Meissner last night and so far I really like it. I am always looking for book suggestions so if you’ve read something good lately, I’d love to know about it.
Yep. I’m still on my rug hooking binge. So far I have made 34 mini hooked rugs. My goal is to make 100 of them and then sell them on ebay or etsy. I’m having fun, and that’s what’s important, right? Also, I made it to season 8 of Everybody loves Raymond and JUST HAD TO STOP WATCHING. I just couldn’t’ handle the whining anymore.
The temps have been in the 80’s this week {gag} so instead of canning more tomato sauce, I’m cooking it in the crock pot this week and filling up quart sized freezer bags with it. Next week it’s suppose to cool down and I’ll be back to canning sauce for the winter months again.
Did you set any goals for this year? If so, how are they coming along?
