I'm going to go through the whole list this week so I can attempt to stay organized:
Completed:
- Go vegetarian for one week - done! I have to say I am not cut out to be a vegetarian. By the end of the week I was dreaming about bacon cheeseburgers. I had a few veggie burgers that were okay - one was just god awful. It was made primarily of beets so it looked like it was bleeding to death and the consistency was just god awful.
- Take Fiona on a pony ride - done! This past weekend we went to the marshfield fair, I have lived in New England most of my life and less that an hour away from this annual fair for more than 10 years and never went. Imagine Fiona's glee when she saw that they had pony rides.
- Take Fiona to children's museum - done!
- Keep bureau clear for one month - done! It has now been clear for 5 weeks.
- Ride a Ferris wheel - done! This is one of those things I definitely built up in my mind. It was not near as terrifying as I remembered. Maybe because it wasn't one of those chairlift type swing chairs. Here is the view from the top:
- Go to one of Massachusetts' annual fairs that I have never been to (Topsfield/Marshfield/Big E) - done! The marshfield fair was not quite what I was expecting - not quite sure how to articulate what I was expecting. Probably closer to a movie county fair, homier I guess. I did not expect windows and siding contractors trying to entice you to their booths. All in all I was glad we did it and fun was had by all.
- Get back to my natural nails - done! No more acrylics feel weird. I am still not used to it. I nearly had a set back this past week when on of my nails ripped down past the quick, I was so tempted to put a tip on it. I didn't and just painted the little stumpy nail - even though I think it looks kind of silly.
- Get to know someone I don't like - done! I was most hesitant of putting this goal on here and then even more hesitant of talking about the completed result. I will say that this "task" took a turn I never expected it to, I expected this to be about someone at work. It turned into reconnecting with someone I used to be close with and going over our issues and what happened between us. I don't know if we will ever be close again but bringing up these old issues and discussing them let me let go of any old anger and resentment.
In progress:
- Get rid of all personal credit card debt - I have made a fairly aggressive plan to eliminate all of my credit card debt. If I stick to that I should be done by January. If not I should be done by the spring.
- Complete the Couch to 5K program - I hope to finish week three this weekend. I had a tetanus booster this bast week and my whole body just hurt after. So hopefully today or tomorrow I will be able to get the final "run" in.
- Buy a bike and ride confidently - so I have taken several rides on my bike. It is getting easier and easier. I'm still not all that confident on hills or when there are a lot of people around. I want to get to a point where I am confident enough to ride with Fiona on her bike.
- Form a good habit - okay I suck at this one, I will admit it right now. I have tried so many different approaches to setting up a morning routine and I am coming to terms with the fact that it Amy not be entirely possible with a five year old and a puppy. When we get back from Miami I am going to try a checklist mor that a routine. To see if that helps.
- Keep work desk clear for one month - I cleared & cleaned my desk on 8/20/13. I saw what a difference keeping my bureau made - so I am hoping that it translates to keeping the desk clear.
- Visit 10 new restaurants - 2 down, 8 to go.
- Send 12 care packages - I sent one care package to a friend and I have all of the stuff for a second one that will have to be shipped out next week. Trying to think of other friends and family that may need a care package.
- Take mom to a show - mom and I are going to see Once when it comes to Providence in October. This will just prove to my friends that I am dead inside when I don't cry for the second time!
For the future:
- Run an official 5K - I may not make it in time for 10/20. But I am looking at other dates this fall.
- Get a tattoo - I have spoken to several friends and we are planning to do this after Christmas.
- Go to the dentist
- Lose 50 pounds - this crawled to a standstill. Towards the end of my vegetarian week I was so meat starved I was eating everything in sit that wasn't meat. I have yet to fully recover from this. I hope everyone keeps me accountable when I return from vacation.
