Goals Update II

I know no one really cares about this. Somehow I just feel that making my goals public means I'll be more likely to accomplish them. Probably because I know I'm giving people updates, so I want to actually get everything done. When I procrastinate and don't cross things off, usually only I see that. This way everyone would see how much of a procrastinator I am and it's like someone's holding me accountable...even though no one really is.

Goals to accomplish by the end of March:
Personal:
*Finish going through filing cabinet
*Get living room and kitchen actually organized and clean (...getting closer)
*Go through the box of stuff from the Jeep that has been sitting in the room since November when we suddenly had to get a new car

*Decide if we want to move in April, May, or January

*Have an eye appointment
*Spend more quality time with Andrew

Professional:
Photography:
*Get website up and running

Devereux:
*Get med-tech certified
*Finish half of my MHWII stuff

I will always be a better baker than cooker, it's just who I am.

That said, I pretty much successfully made some potato soup tonight!

Here's the recipe:

Despite the fact that I somehow managed to take exactly an hour to peel and cut the potatoes, the recipe is really easy. I didn't cut the potatoes in to small enough pieces, and the soup part didn't thicken enough. But it still all turned out pretty good, and the flavor is still very delicious!

But now on to the baking/sweet portion of the night:

Deeeelicciiouss!!!

Andrew loved them; he says they might be his favorite thing that I've made. Fairly high calorie, yes, but for a pastry dessert, not that bad. Seriously, they're worth skipping your normal snacks throughout the day to have one of these at the end of the night!

Oh, and if you want to see pictures of the kitty, check out my album on facebook :)

G'night!

I just woke up half an hour ago

1) I finally finished my editing from that January wedding...now if only I can get a hold of the bride to give her the disc!!

2) It was very nice to see Curtis and Katie last week...we're excited for them to move here in April.

3) The ballet we went to was good. It was different because it wasn't one whole story, just had a theme with different pieces. One section was awesome and I almost cried...I think Andrew did cry.

Off to eat my oatmeal squares cereal and get on with my to do list!

Life...randomness...

I really wanted to post some pictures of my kitty awhile ago, but life happened.

I shot a wedding in January and since then Lightroom hasn't been working too great, I dropped my external hard drive so I don't have some of my pictures (thankfully all of the January wedding pictures are fine!)

Do you ever feel like you get nothing done, yet somehow you are totally stressed out and feel like you are constantly busy?! I hate the feeling. I'm going through one of those times. I'm hoping it ends soon!

Curtis and Katie, our friends that were in Africa, are in Denver tonight and for the next couple nights, so we get to see them tomorrow. That will be nice.

We're going to a ballet tomorrow night with our friends Hillary and Jake. That will be nice. I was planning on getting cleaning and editing done tomorrow during the day, but we'll be hanging out with Curtis and Katie...great, but will also add stress to my plate.

So goes the way of life.

I love these!
