October Goals Recap

I think the ONLY thing I managed to accomplish in October was going to Vegas... and having a blast!  I realize that I owe all of my blog readers (all 5 of you) a Vegas post, and I promise I'll get to that this week, hopefully.

Health:

• Do something healthy.  Ideally, I’d accomplish getting back into running, going to the gym, increasing water consumption, cooking at home, but hell, who am I kidding?!  I’ll be lucky to eat, period.

School:

• Try not to drown, and keep up!

Personal:

• Have a blast in Vegas, and leave all the darn stress behind when I get on the plane.


• Finish the blogging challenge… or give up on it.  One way or another, make a decision.


• Finish 5 things on the 101 things to do list.


• Cut out the fabric for Carie's "gift" and the square quilt.

October Goals

You know, at this point, I’m not even sure why I make this  stupid “goal lists” each month.  I can
NEVER EVER accomplish more than about 3 of them, and those goals tend to always have to do with school.  Ugh.  In my best Jessie voice, “There’s not enough time.  There’s never enough time.”  Ahhhh!

101 Things... #11

Part of my agreement with myself to do the 101 things in 1001 days was to actively blog about the progress I made on my list.  I felt like blogging would help me be accountable to myself, and actually, maybe, possibly get some of the "to do" items checked off my list before the 1001 days is up.

#11 on my list... have a "family" picture taken.  You see, the reason for this item is because my husband HATES taking pictures.  I think he'd rather have a root canal or have his leg hairs pulled out one by one.  He simply hates it.  Now, part of that is my fault, because most of the time I don't like pictures that are taken of myself.

So... on Facebook, a photographer friend by the name of Mia Coelho (Mia Coelho Photography) was hosting a giveaway for 50% off of a session fee.  Well, I won.  Uh, crap.  I don't know how Marcus was ever convinced to take the pictures... I know my mom and his mom too, probably, had a hand in helping me convince him.  But regardless, on September 24th, 2011, we took our first professional "family" picture!
