Things To Do in 2010 Update

We are three months in  on my "Things To Do in 2010" and I needed to a check-in. Let's see how I am doing.
  • Blog at least 3x per week- I think that I have been doing pretty good with this. I know there have a been a few weeks where I did 2 and not 3, but it is better than none at all. 
  • Complete some home improvement projects- Some of the home improvement projects that have been started, such as painting a dresser for my husband or adding a railing up the stairway, have been started but need to be finished, like finding the proper knobs for the dresser and now painting the hallway since my husband has put pencil marks on the wall trying to line up the railing. Some of the project we have planned like, buliding a deck and redo the bath are going to wait until warmer weather. 
  • Keeping my closets clean-- I think I have been doing ok with this. What I really need to do is to move my winter clothes to tubs in the basement or donating the clothes that I can no longer wear. That sounds like a weekend project....maybe not this weekend but some weekend soon. 
  • Plan a vacation or a weekend trip with the hubby- We have a little trip planned for our 1st anniversary next month. We are looking at taking a weekend trip some time in June and maybe a trip to the beach in the early fall. 
  • Read 10 books- The last book I read, was "What to Expect Before Your Expecting", and no I am not expecting and maybe after reading that book I might not ever be. I have been mainly looking at magazines lately.  Have any good book suggestions?
  • Save $500.00-  I have been  doing good at this. Even when I take money out of my savings, I put it back when I get paid. 
  • Spend more time with the hubby-- We have been spend time together when he is off, since he does not have the normal Saturday and Sunday off. I make sure on the days that he is off that and I have something to do, I make sure that it does not take longer than a few hours to complete. 
  • Try 5 new baking or cooking recipes--I am still cooking the old stand-bys for dinner. Yet to date, I have not tried anything new. Have any suggestions?
  • Build a closer relationship with God-- This is a continuealy process. I have been creating a routine, so that this can happen with prayer and study. I would like to read the Bible within the year and am currnetly looking for a reading list to start with. I recently downloaded the Bible on my Blackberry so that I can read on the go. I think that is will help. 
  • Lose 50 pounds-- This goal has been shortly derailed. I had been excerising with a co-worker and had even started taking an African dance class, when my knees really started bothering me. I have been working with my doctor to get some assistance with my knees, so that when the weather warms up I will be able to start doing some walking outside to get back on track.
That's my update. I am doing OK. Did you set any goals at the beginning of the year and how are you doing? Happy Hump Day!!!

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
