Goals for 2009

Wow! I haven't written in a while! So here we go, a few tidbits and updates


Well in the spirit of a fresh start....I will post about the high aspirations I have for the new year. These goals are derived not only from things I would like to do, but also things I've tried to do and failed in.
So with a deep inward sigh...here goes:
~ Read Bible daily
~ Make our meals from scratch....no more takeout or fast-food....(prepackaged IS fast food)
~ save a sum of money
~ No longer spend on things that soon become clutter
~ Cover my head ( I know I should...I have no excuse..vanity and pride)
~ become more humble and meek
~ Do not nag husband
~ Try my hardest to not gossip with my MIL
~ Exercise (of course, the list simply wouldn't be complete with out this!) at least 4x's a week
~ loose 10pds
~ Eat a more BALANCED diet. ( I am known for liking only one or two food groups)
~ Try to force myself to eat things I don't like (today I forced down a few carrots, I will LEARN to like them.)
~ Take better care of my hair, skin and teeth (brushing with boar bristle brushes, floss more often and exfoliate and moisturize )
~ limit my intake of candy
~ Force my oldest (he was two on the 14th) to eat better with me ( he eats more healthily than I do....but parents set the trend)
~ spend less time on the computer
~ Pray more than once daily
~ buy groceries and actually use them
~ Keep house clean(er)
~ Potty train Oldest
~ Knit at least 6 things
~ Sew at least 3 USEFUL items
~ Limit my exposure to negative influences
~ Submit to the proper authorities (all the time..not just when I feel like it)
~ Paint bathroom
~ wean youngest from Breastfeeding (I still am Iffy about this though)
~ Stock freezer with homemade goodies once a month

Thats about it.....I know I missed a few things!

I wrote this list on the 1st and life became busy and I never did post it until now, since then, I have been starting to cover and bake, I am reading the new testament, keeping my house clean(er) and I have sewn 2 useful items! (Pajama pants), I have spent less time on the Computer (hence less posting), and I could list other things but I don't feel like it :D.



BTW, thank you for the comments, it is nice to know that someone is reading !

Mall of America! The one place you can Shop, Dine, and get married...All at the same time!

We just got home from this deathtrap, We some how, managed to make it out without spending a dime! We went for a little walk and then headed home. I am flabbergasted at that bohemouth shopping center! The number of stores is simply amazing, not only can you have an impromptu wedding ceremony preformed, you can also have your eyebrows plucked with string, go to an oxygen bar (!?!), have a water massage (without feeling a drop of water), ride a roller coaster and of course Shop! This is only the beginning of the list of things you can do in this mall! There is even a College Campus IN the mall itself........!?

In other news I have done nothing good as far as housekeeping goes today, I picked the Living room up a bit....but the dishes need doing and the floors desperately need moping!

I am hoping to be able to paint our bathroom come spring, I am thinking a nice lilac-ish blue....we'll see.............
