2. Begin writing a book. I have a fiction and non-fiction option. Giving myself 2 years to complete it. Feeling good about this but not willing to share anything.
3. In June I need to get 8 hours of sleep at least one night a week. Each month after I must add one more night per week. Done. Simple. Two nights a week. In August I will need to get 8 hours of sleep at least 3 nights a week. This will be more difficult for me. But I understand it's importance.
4. Blog at least 12 times per month. Success!
5. Finish unpacking and putting together rooms in the house. One room a month. Problem is I have more rooms than months this year. July is the upstairs bathroom. Done! And here are the pictures to prove it.
Of course I would love to replace the old 50's style sink, put in a toilet that flushes on the first try, and install a new tub that doesn't have cracks in it. But I rent. So all I could do was accessorize. The good news is that the only think I needed to buy was the window curtains. I owned everything else already. Quick and cheap fix up.
I also planned on giving you an update on Ladybug's room. But it turned a little more complicated then I anticipated. I found curtains that we both loved and I ordered them. I found a rug that would go with the curtains. And I found a fabulous bedspread. Once everything arrived it turned out that we hated the curtains but loved the rug and the bedspread. So I have returned the second set of curtains purchased for her room and I am looking for the 3rd and final set. Once I have those I will post an update on Ladybug's room.
August will be either the study or the kitchen. Tune in to see the results.
6. Start a 529 account. Done.
7. Start a savings account. I am still adjusting to the new finances. I will worry about this in the fall. I really need to get a few things under control this summer. And the fact that I just found out that my monthly heating bill is estimated to be $266 for 10 months is not helping my finance worries.
8. Eat out no more then 2 times per month. I think it is important to keep this one from last year. Failed. I ate out 5 times. Once a week for the month. Not bad. But still not meeting the goal.
9. Reinstall Photoshop and start editing photos again. Nope. But I tried. I uninstalled it. I reinstalled. I uninstalled again. I let my little techno-geek sister work with it. It was then when I realized I had bought a VIDEO editing software. I need to purchase the photo editing. But worried about the pending heating bills.
10. Pay all bills on time. Nope. But I am all caught up. I wonder why I have no ability to pay my bills on time.
11. Make at least 1 pair of earrings each week. Nope. But I did find the bag that contained all the beads. But I don't honestly see being able to be creative with them until I have fully unpacked the study and put everything away. Maybe that will happen this month.
12. Adding a new goal this month... Ladybug will sleep in her own bed. Please! She did the other night. Hoping for a repeat performance tonight.
ENJOYING THE BATHROOM DECOR....MUCH PRETTIER THAN MINE. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe bathroom looks really cute. And I'm impressed with the headway you have made on your goals. Much better than I have done.
