To do this Week

Hello!! I'm feeling pretty alive at the moment (not sure where that came from). I went to the Brewer game last night (they won! yay!) and I was up until almost 11:30pm. That may not seem too bad, but that's late for me!

I couldn't get up this morning. It's a good thing I didn't have class, I slept until 10:30.. that's the latest I've slept in a long time! Anyway, so I'm posting my goals even though it's Wednesday. Deal with it. ;)

-Cook at least 3 times this week

-Organize my coupons - cuz they be a mess!

To Do this week

Hello!

I realize it's Wednesday, and it's partly through the week already, however, I'm still going to post my goals for the week. Better late than never, right?

If it's any consolation, I did make the list on Monday with every intention of posting, but I got caught up studying for an exam. An exam that I didn't realize I had until the day before... guess I should show up at my night class more often. But let's be honest, it's SO boring.

This week is busy, exciting, stressful, and so much more and honestly I'm just looking forward to getting it over with. I'm (hopefully) getting my car on Saturday which is very exciting. I can stop driving Mitchell's gas guzzler to work. But, I'm a little nervous about it. It's such a large purchase and although I've done the math and I know I can afford it with my job, but I'm still nervous.. so any prayers would be appreciated! :)

My Goals from last week a couple weeks ago:

Personal:

-Cook a real dinner at least 3 times this week (Honestly, I don't remember...)

-Read the daily verses from church everyday

-Apartment showing Friday at 2pm (I need to find a place to live by June 1st) *I found a place!!!!*

-Read some of my new books over break! (Money Saving Mom's Budget, Pick Another Checkout Lane, Honey!, and Redeeming Love) **Completely finished Pick Another Checkout Lane, Honey! and it was a really great couponing book, I really learned a LOT! Got through 3 chapters of Money Saving Mom's Budget**

Financial:

-Pay WE Energies bill

-Do not go out to eat at all this week

-Create a budget for June 1st - after graduation (It's in progress.. planning on completing tonight!!)

-Clip coupons and check for deals (Grocery shopping this week)

Blog:

-Blog at least twice (one - cupcakes!)

School:

-Group paper for Friday

-SPRING BREAK is next week!!

-Do some reading over break

-Try to get a good start on my paper

-Start reading my book review book before it's too late

Home:

-Keep organized

-Deep clean my room over break (I cleaned, just not deeply...)

-Clean the bathroom

-Start going through my stuff in the basement (See my previous post, but I got rid of so much stuff!!)

Happy Monday! My first week of goal setting, and I have to say I didn't do too badly. I did better than I thought I would. And I'm actually excited to have new goals this week! Check out how I did:


My Goals from last week:

Personal:
-Cook a real dinner at least 3 times this week
-Read the daily verses from church everyday (I got off track right at the beginning of the week...I'm gonna try again)

Financial:
-Get to the bank  - twice actually!
-Do not go out to eat at all this week - most difficult by far, but I did it and saved $$!
-Clip coupons and check for deals - although I really wanted to get the Sunday paper, and I forgot...

Blog:
-Finish my next post - "My 51" - you should read it!

School:
-Finish homework due next week
-Study for exam next week
-Actually read for class this week - normally I don't even finish by the end of the weekend (or at all) but I got all the reading done on Sunday!
-Get an early start on my paper
-Start reading my book review book before it's too late

Home:
-Do laundry sometime during the week
-Take out the trash on time
-Clean the kitchen
-Keep my room organized - an extra incentive to do this...we had two house showings today to try to rent our apartment, but I did keep it fairly organized all week!


Whew! I feel productive! Now for next week's goals:

To Do this week

I discovered a new blog today, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Coupons. And the blogger's name is Amanda! (How neat is that?!) She posts weekly to-do lists and although I have seen blogger's do that before, this time I decided I should do that.

This isn't necessarily for anyone in particular, except me. But, I figured writing things down on a white-board or piece of paper is good, but if I don't do them no one will know. So this is my way of trying to keep myself on track and accountable. If you think this might help you, I encourage you to try it to!

My Goals for this week:

Personal:
-Cook a real dinner at least 3 times this week
-Read the daily verses from church everyday

Financial:
-Get to the bank
-Do not go out to eat at all this week
-Clip coupons and check for deals

Blog:
-Finish my next post

School:
-Finish homework due next week
-Study for exam next week
-Actually read for class this week
-Get an early start on my paper
-Start reading my book review book before it's too late

Home:
-Do laundry sometime during the week
-Take out the trash on time
-Clean the kitchen
-Keep my room organized


Wish me luck!
