Goal update

Here is is only one month left of 2010.  Let's see how I did on my goals and things I looked forward too.

10 things I look forward to:


1. trip to Idaho--had a blast although it was long and sometimes nerve wracking driving across country for the first time with a trailer.  Still blogging about that.
2. Winter olympics--watched and enjoyed.
3. Ray's raise--much needed.  May be one of the last one he gets if they freeze his oay fir 3 years.  He will still get his 12 year one next September.
4. "Tower of Midnight"-- reading it now. 
5. Kimberly's firsts--had lot of those.  She is now walking and has three teeth (got the third one 2 days ago.)
6. new van-We got a Borrego instead but now thinking about getting a suburban because we miss the room of the van but need something to pull the trailer.
7. beach--went a few times.  Next year we really need to try to go every month.  She and Timmy both love the
8. Sheila going to kindergarten--she loves it.
9. temple--unfortunately didn't get to go yet.  The one time it looked like we would be able to go on the trip the temple was closed and with a nursing baby it is hard to go 5 hours away to the temple.  We plan on going to Orlando in March so we are definitely going then if we go.
10. moving-not going to happen for probably 2-3 years at the most.

10 Goals for 2010

1. learn to use my serger--got the video out.  Now need to actually watch it so I can figure out how to thread and work it.
2. finish Old Testament--I am now almost through Proverbs.  Probably will take another year to finish.
3. catch up on one scrapbook--this was extremely hard especially since I had that big trip and I sewed for two months after that to get things done for the fair.  I now decided once a month I will work on a specific theme and get as many pages done throughout the years for those themes.  October I did Halloween pages, November I did the butterflies at St. Marks, and this month I will be doing Christmas.  If I finish the Christmas ones I will work on Timmy's birthday pages.
4. paint the inside of the house--painted the kids bathroom yellow.  Plan on doing the kitchen red in March and then sometime next summer the dining room and hall a tan color.  Then next December if we have moved Kimberly in with Sheila do their room a girly color.
5. finish the "Work and the Glory," "Harry Potter," and "Twilight" series again--finished the Work and the Glory and the Twilight series.  On the fourth book of Harry Potter.  I have been reading that at night to the kids so going much slower.
6. make my own cookbook--still working on it.
7. lose the baby weight.  I have lost all the weight I gained with Kimberly and another 10 pounds.  Would like to lose at least 5 more.  Then maybe 5 more but we will see.
8. make over $200 at the fair--blew that number out of the water this year.  Don't know if I will ever top how much I made this year again.
9. get a fence and new shed-getting the fence around Christmas.  The shed will have to wait another year since we bought a trailer this year.
10. start writing again--slowly working on 2-3 book ideas.  I love to read too and since I do both at night reading usually wins out but I have been trying to write more often.

So there it is.  Some have been accomplished and some will probably move to next year.
