New goals for April

April has come and will be gone before I know it. Having some goals seems to slow down the coming and going of time which is nice.

So here's some new goals I have:

*Keep working on website and figuring it out
*Find a time that I can get med-tech certified
*Finish my MHWII stuff
*Get the new house completely unpacked and live-in-able. I know this won't happen, but I want it to. So it's my goal.
*Collect addresses for Laura's wedding shower invitations
*Build Bookshelf

The house is number one priority for me right now, but I feel like all I've been doing is working. Oh wait, that's because that is all I've been doing. But I am off starting at 3 pm Saturday till noon on Wednesday. So I am taking full advantage of that and unpacking and organizing!

Andrew and I decided we wanted to start wood working, so we are! With our tax refund check we bought tools and our first project is a bookshelf. We're really excited to have fun doing the actual building and then having an inexpensive, quality piece of furniture that we will use.

Off to dream land.

Goals

One week till the end of March. Here I am with my goals...

Goals to accomplish by the end of March:
Personal:
*Finish going through filing cabinet (As done as it can be for now)
*Get living room and kitchen actually organized and clean (Done)
*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 (Done)

*Decide if we want to move in April, May, or January (Done..we're in the process of moving now!)

*Have an eye appointment (Done)
*Spend more quality time with Andrew (Done)

Professional:
Photography:
*Get website up and running (This is sadly not done...my external hard drive crashed and I lost a lot of my files. I have asked clients to get me a copy of the files but no one has gotten any to me yet! I'm really upset about all of this, but there's nothing I can do. It'll get figured out eventually)

Devereux:
*Get med-tech certified (Not done, but still want to get it sometime)
*Finish half of my MHWII stuff (Done... more like 2/3 done)


There's only 2 things I didn't get done!! I am so proud of myself :) I'll make some April goals soon. I enjoy making obtainable goals. It feels great to accomplish them!

Moving!

Yay, we're moving!!!

No more making 3 trips up 3 flights of stairs with groceries

No more listening to the roofing guys hammering away, waking me up at 8am

No more walking to the middle of the complex to get our mail

No more ice on the car in the middle of winter when I'm already running late for work

No more being cramped!

Yep, that's right...

We are moving into one side of a duplex!

We will have our own mailbox

Our own 2 car garage

Enough space for me to do all the crafting I want to do, not to mention actually have desk space to do my photography work!

We will even have a yard, so Abby will finally be joining us!

I am soo excited!

We are moving the 27th and it couldn't come any sooner

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

Jackie in the kitchen

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!

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.
