1. talk to God at least once a day and read at least one scripture and meditate on it throughout the day. (i do usually talk to God more than once a day, it just usually sounds something like "Lord help me not ram into the car in front of me for driving 5 miles below the speed limit" i'd like to have a more conversational time with Him) Done, easy
2. work out for a full hour, 3 times a week. like a real hard workout where i sweat my bute off! I've been doing pilates twice a week religiously but this is not enough. Nope not at all, in fact, i've even skipped pilates, damn
3. take talitha on an hour walk outside at least twice a week. Yes, it's been lovely outside but the walks only last 45mins. An hour is just a smidge too long for tal.
4. have someone/a family over for dinner at least once a month. Yes, we had davids brother michael over this weekend. Although family really doesn't count... So maybe no.
5. work on my recipe collection. (this is a recent domestication project that i've started now that i'm a SAHM (stay at home mom) and it's mostly a compilation of dirty notes with scribbled down recipes from Giada's at home 3 min videos off the foodnetwork.com- this will not do. i want one like the one my grandma has (Grandma Gumport is the Goddess of all SAHMs) a collection of exquisitely hand written laminated index cards with the most amazing recipes ever know to man. I MUST HAVE THIS! Yes! I've been cooking baller dinners almost every night and i've emailed myself all of them. This is going to be money!
6. limit all refined sugars to the weekends (sat and sun). let me elaborate on this one. i'm talking about cakes, cookies, and icecream! not pancakes and fruits. ummm, yes! i really like this one. Although the weekends are now fri, sat, and sun, and i might have eaten an entire box of thin mints this last weekend- no biggie.
7. read 3 books this year. I JUST FINISHED MY FIRST BOOK! this is a big victory. i picked it up every time i nursed tal. which at 6 times a day is a lot of reading. and no it wasn't a pamphlet, it was 227pages with no pictures, thank you!
8. sew tal a dress. working on it. i'm sewing her baptism dress for the baptism this weekend. we shall see it doesn't look great so far...
9. run a mini anything. there was a 3 1/2 mile run for breast cancer last year that i couldn't do because i was very much with child. but i will do it this year. i'd love to push tal during it! nope, nothing
10. make friday laundry day. nope, not even close
11. put money away for a trip with david and tal to here: http://www.grandhotel.com/mackinac.html or anywhere else. this is just my recent obsession. nope, not close at all, in fact i think i took money out of savings...oops

Good luck with your savings. I live on Mackinac year-round so trust me when I tell you - it is worth the trip. If you want to do the trip for less, consider staying at another place - the Grand is probably the most expensive hotel on the island. It is beautiful - and an amazing dinner is included in the price, but there are lots of other options.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice Liz.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your next book, L-Bo? I think technically you've read a few of TKO's books too, so you might already be done for the year.
