Welcoming March

Unfortunately, I'm welcoming March and feeling a little bit like a failure.  I'm skimming through my February goals and they're not looking so great: 
I didn't go to the gym (not once)
There are still boxes all over the floor of my bedroom
You can still hardly see my desk in the spare bedroom



So I didn't do so hot there.  But there is internet in my apartment and its 7:30am and I've already cleaned up a mess in my kitchen, make lunch to take to work, drop Josh off at the law school so he can leave for Milwaukee, pack clothes to go home for the weekend, check Facebook, my email, and read a few articles so hopefully that's a sign that this month is going to be more productive!  


So let's write some goals for this month that are actually do-able.  


1. Go to the gym (I really am going to get there eventually)
2. Finish unpacking and/or at least make my floor walkable if I can't empty EVERY box.

3. Plan my garden and start my seeds (I put down my deposit on my community garden plot!)
4. Complete my desk corner in the spare bedroom

5. Make my apartment semi-respectable so that I don't feel embarrassed when people come by last minute.
6. Blog once/week
7. Work on having "me-time" 



I'm also going to be working on my lenten observance which is my (attempt) at giving up hitting snooze more than twice a day...so far I'm getting better at it, but still not great. 


Here's to March, hoping its happy...and productive!


What are everyone else's March goals?

Your Blog: Resume Boost or Liability?

I have recently read two different blogs that have both touched on the same topic. How your blog affects your resume and/or job search. The first was an interview with Sasha Halima, one of my favorite bloggers, at PR Breakfast Club. You can read it here. The second is on Brand Yourself, Your Blog is Your Extended Resume . Brand Yourself argues just what the title says that a blog is an extended resume and that when a potential employer searches for you and finds a blog full of fabulous content, they'll hire you. And while I couldn't agree more that I AGONIZED over the fact that potential employers were most likely Googling me and getting results for some person in Seattle or a Blues Singer in New York the interview with Sasha Halima said something that also struck a chord with me. Your blog can be a "liability." That is the scariest word that any potential employer could ever say because, if you're a liability to them, odds are other potential employers

Shoes

Shoes Shania Twain Tell me about it... Ooh! Men. Have you ever tried to figure them out? Huh, me too, but I ain't got no clue How 'bout you?

Odd Pets

Every once in a while I click the "Marketplace" application on my Facebook page (in case someone is giving away a free bed that I could use).  Upon doing so yesterday I saw a pet Wallaby for sale for $1,200.   I want one.   However, the question is...can I have one?  Are wallabys...or is it wallabies...or maybe walleye...no that's definitely not it...you know what I mean...but are they legal in this state? Well let's start with what we know is legal: cats and dogs (unless your landlord says no then you'll be out on the street), most lizards, but those are basic pets.  Here's a little snippet into the unusual (and expensive) pets.   World's most expensive pets:  Green Monkey: $16 million Legal in Ohio Missy: $1.2 million Legal in Ohio Capuchin Monkey: $10,000 Legal in Ohio That's right.  I said LEGAL!  There are neither bans nor requirements on monkey ownership in Ohio so go for it!  Buy your monkey!
