August update

Just preparing you... major failures this month.

1.  Loose 55 pounds by December 31, 2012.  Holding steady at down 12 pounds  Still only 43 to go now.

2.  Begin writing a book.  I have a fiction and non-fiction option.  Giving myself 2 years to complete it.  Did nothing.

3.  In August I needed to get 8 hours of sleep at least three night a week. Each month after I must add one more night per week. I sucked at this.  In September I will need to get 8 hours of sleep at least 3 nights a week.  Yes, I am repeating this goal -- until I got it right. 

4.  Blog at least 12 times per month.  I was on track but I failed.

5.  Finish unpacking and putting together rooms in the house.  One room a month.  Problem is I have more rooms than months this year.  August is the kitchen.   I could not bring myself to buy curtains I was not 100% sure about.  So I got nothing to show you.

September will be BOTH the study AND the kitchen.  The dropping temperatures are letting me know that I am running out of time to winterize.  I need to get things done -- including rugs and curtains.

6.  Start a 529 account.  Done.

7.  Start a savings account. No success here either.

8.  Eat out no more then 2 times per month.  I think it is important to keep this one from last year.  Major fail.  With 2 trips to my mom's, 1 trip to my dad's and a trip to Chicago I really feel like my kitchen and I have become strangers.  One more weekend away coming up and then I plan on becoming a home body.

9.  Reinstall Photoshop and start editing photos again.  Nope.  I have curtains and rugs and shoes and school supplies and a planetbox and ... so many things to buy that I just can not justify this expense right now.  However, on a good note, I did discover how to take videos on my camera.  It was purely and accident but that just doesn't matter. 

10. Pay all bills on time. Done!  I was successful at something this month.

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.  

12.  Adding a new goal this month... Ladybug will sleep in her own bed.  Please!  Were successful at this about 4 nights this month.  Not a great ratio but at least we started.
