Let's Get Serious Here For A Minute...

This is a list of goals that I know I will not be able to complete within my year time frame.

Goal Three: Finish college
Due to unforeseen events, I do not believe I will be able to cross this goal off within a year

Goal Six: Get a tattoo (once I lose weight)

Due to the fact I still live at home and my parents are very against the idea of me having a tattoo, I will be switching out this goal and one from the next list. If that makes any sense.

Goal Forty-Eight: Go on a vacation by myself once I graduate
Due to unforeseen setbacks, I can't say that I will graduate within a year, so I will be unable to finish this goal

Goal Fifty-Eight: Make Holiday cards for 2009

Umm...it's 2010. Fail.

So far, I think that's it.

Goals Finished In August

Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's already September! That means I have less than a year to get to my finish by date!

So these are the goals that I finished in August.

Goal 12: Stay on top of getting my pictures printed out and put them away-

For a really long time now, I've taken to ordering my pictures at the end of the month. A few months ago, I said I would cross this off at the end of summer. Summer isn't offically over, but I'm marking this off!

Goal 67: Go one month without fast food (including Arby's)-

This is probably one of the hardest goals I have on the list, because of the "including Arby's" part. (For those of you that don't know, Arby's is where I work. And it's fast food. I tend to eat there on my days working). Which is why I didn't want to talk about it, in case I "failed". But for the entire month of August I did not eat fast food, not once!

Goal 86: See a sunrise-

I probably could have crossed this off a year ago, when I started working the really early morning shift at work. I would see a sunrise most every morning I worked. But the reason why I didn't cross it off was because I really wanted to have a picture of one. But I realized that I might never have a picture of a sunrise, since I'm travelling to work while I see them. So I am crossing this off anyways. If I do capture one, I will be sure to share it.

That's it! 3 more goals down and less than a year to go! Shit....

Goals Finished 100%: 27

Goals In Progress: 14

Goals Crossed Off Because I Suck at Life (AKA Goals I Can't Finish): 2

Goals To Tackle In August

I figured I would make a monthly post, at the beginning of the month, with a list of goals that I hope to complete in that month. This will be in conjunction with my regular end of the month post of goals I completed.

-Clean out my closet. I have been working on cleaning out my set of dressers and now I will tackle the closet. I figured it's good to do so now in prep for the upcoming fall/winter season.

-Buy a nice piece of jewelry for myself. I have a few pieces picked out that I love. I just need to narrow it down!

-Get sunglasses. I misplaced my eye perscription, so I need to get my eyes checked again. I hope to do that this month. After that, I am going to finally! purchase sunglasses!

-Finish my scrapbook box (of pets), scrapbook Lucy's first year, NYC scrapbook. While I don't think I will be able to finish all of these scrapbooking list items, I do hope to finish the box, get started on Lucy's and finish the first half of the NYC one.

Just finished open water.

Recently Completed Goals

I realized I never did my monthly update for May.

So since June is almost over (and I don't think I will be finishing anymore in the next couple of days), I am just doing a combined post for now.

Goal Twenty-Nine: Review 15 books on librarything.com

Goal Thirty-Seven: Buy a new battery for my laptop

Goal Seventy-Eight: Grow something (I choose herbs)

Goal Ninety-Three: Organize books

These 4 are actually done.

Other things that need to be updated:

For:

Goal Twelve: Stay on top of getting my pictures printed off and put them away: I have been staying on top of ordering pictures around the first (from the previous month). So at the end of the summer, this is when I will mark this off.

Goal Fifteen: Write a novel: I started writing my novel! (or novella, depending on how long I can make it)

Goal Twenty-Three: A-Z Author Challenge: Just finished book J.

Goal Thirty-Three: Buy a nice piece of jewelery for myself: I have plans to do this next month

April 101 Update

Once again, no actuall goals completed.

But progress!

Goal Twenty-Eight: Have an amazing birthday party for the final year in this ---> This list is ending August of 2011. So in February of 2011 I am having an... Alice in Wonderland themed Unbirthday party!

Goal Thirty-Nine: Finish my scrapbook in a box (of pets) ---> While I didn't start this is April, May 1st was National Scrapbooking Day. So I worked on this box this past weekend.

Goal Fifty: Do a paint by numbers ---> I bought it last month and have slowly been working on it.

March 101 Update

While I did not actually finish any of the goals this month (sad!) I have made plans for goals to start/finish very soon!

In progress:

- I have been looking for a good exercise program for goal 9 (work out for 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week for 2 months). I was reading in a magazine about bride workouts and even though I'm not getting married, they look fun and yet challenging at the same time. So for April and May that's what I'll be working out for that.

- I've already been making plans for goal 28 (have an amazing birthday party). I've decided to go with Alice In Wonderland Unbirthday theme.

- As soon as I get paid this week I will buy a paint by numbers I saw! So I should be working on that next week!

- I am having trouble finding out about the detox diet. So I may need to change that somehow. What my intensions for that goal was to take a 3 day weekend where I am off and not eat anything "bad". Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

-I think the next time I am at the store I will just buy Nair and try it. It's a pretty easy goal and kinda said that i haven't tried it yet.

-Warm weather is upon us, so it looks like it's time to start walking my dog! But since we've added 2 more dogs to the household, I will have to change them out. Everyone gets one week, then start over again.

-I bought a lotion thing for goal 100.

The List (To Be Edited Entry)

I figured it would be nice to have an entry in this blog where I can edit the list. I didn't want to do that on the orginal one because I like having it untouched. So this entry will be revisited as I finish them.

Goal One: Lose enough weight to be 120 pounds and not go over 135 pounds

Goal Two: Save $2500

I recently had to use most of my savings to pay on my medical bills. I counted down how much I would have to save per paycheck until August and I don't think I'll be able to save it. So I'll just have to save as much as I can until then.

Goal Three: Finish college

Due to unforeseen events, I do not believe I will be able to cross this goal off within a year.

Goal Four: Get my license

Goal Five: Purchase (or decide not to purchase) books and movies from my list I keep a running list of movies/books I want to buy.

Goal Six: Get a tattoo (once I lose weight)

Goal 6 Edited: buy a good curling iron/straightener

I decided to switch out the tattoo goal and a goal from the next list. I will be getting a tattoo for a "I moved out of my house" gift to myself.

Goal Seven: Either get my ears pierced again OR once I lose weight have my belly button pierced

Goal Eight: Do the 365 pictures challenge (2009)

Goal Eleven: Send a postcard to Postsecret once a year

Goal Twelve: Stay on top of getting my pictures printed off and put them away

Goal Thirteen: Get my puzzles framed, plus 2 posters
