(Re) Chic

Unfortunately, I have been sadly neglecting most parts of my online life...especially this blog. The good news the main goal I had for the past few months is finally completed: moving in and officially being completely unpacked in my apartment.   So now its back to really creating goals and working to achieve them.   My main goal for March is job searching: now I've got my new Baby Mac (Josh got me an iBook G4 as a Vday gift because this guy was selling it on Craigslist for a super deal) I really need to buckle down and get busy.   My second goal is to get back to my blog...at least once a week.  This blog is too wonderful to be neglected!   So hold me to it...don't let me neglect you any longer! And of course we're trying to work on my 101 in 1001.  I can definitely see that I'm not going to complete the entire thing by September....but I think in part that's the point....it shows you how your life changes in such a short time.   Keep...

I'm not very proud of myself this month. I feel pretty wimpy when it comes to the goal achieving. 1. Go to the gym AND work out -I did not do this...I'm defending myself by saying that I was sick for most of the month.   2. Start practicing my translations again (special thanks to Josh for getting me a bunch of great books in French for our anniversary) -I have no defense *hangs head in shame* 3. Finish 2 books (one self-help book and one for pleasure) -I read "V for Vendetta" which I'm not sure counts because its more of a graphic novel and I STARTED a self-help book and ordered myself one.   4. Reach 500 followers on Twitter -still not there :( But we're working on it.   5.  Blog once/week -My one success... Hopefully we can do better in October. 

Clearly I spoke too soon with my May goals, as soon as I wrote about how well I was doing blogging nearly everyday...I stopped. So I think this month I'll try not to count my goals until the end of the month, lol. 1. Find new bank (long store short I became very unhappy after I tried to clear up a problem with my current bank and they just tried to sign me up for a credit card instead...so suggestions are welcome) 2. Go to the gym 3 times...I swear I'm going to find where the company gym is again! 3. Finish putting away winter clothes-this has been a slow and tedious process...I need to just do it so I can stop having a whole year's worth of clothes strewn about my bedroom floor. 4. Blog Once/week. Anyone else have any goals they think I should tackle, another one on my back burner is to start working more on my 101 in 1001 things that I haven't really been focusing on...its been sad and lonely lately!

So for those of you who know me you have probably realized that I pretty much completely failed at my April goals. Go to the gym- 0 times Deliver my sister's birthday gift- SUCCESS!  Get my seedlings in the dirt- Done!  AND I repotted them! Get my apartment respectable- Done (barely within April but done!) Blog once/week- Or never.  Complete crafting project- I don't think I even started one... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May goals:  1. The KIND Project-one kindness everyday.  2. Word Count Blog-a-thon 3. Plant seedlings in garden plot 4. Take the "pump" test at work to get upgraded to CSR Level 2 Today's KIND-ness I sent my sister a Mother's day card.  I know it sounds silly to send one to your sister-but I read this card today and it was too perfect.  So I'm sending it to my sister because I know it will make her day.
