WHERE AM I???

So, I know that I just posted my first blog (make sure you read it first)...but I had to create a base, right? It's April...2010 started in January!!! Guess that shows that the "stop procrastinating" wish isn't quite working out just yet! Remember, all of these wishes were created in January but I am JUST now getting around to my blog. So, let's recap:



1)Begin each day with prayer and meditation (Not doing too gr-8. Just doing this about 3 out of 7 days.)

2) Choose a volunteer program and start volunteering (hmmmm...forgot about this one)

3) Journal (That's what I am using this blog for...and I have been posting on Facebook! Does that count?)

4) Exercise at least 3 days a week (Yay, me! I am doing this! It was very slow starting and inconsistent at first, but I'm doing it now)

5) Finish a triathalon (Signing up tomorrow for one that will be on April 18, 2010! I am so excited and nervous all in one!)

6) Stop smoking (With the grace of God, I quit smoking on February 11, 2010)

7) Pay off all debt except house (Paid off both cars in February so we are now debtfree except for the house...What a feeling!)

8) Invest more for retirement (Working on it)

9) Take a family ski trip (We went to Beech Mountain, NC in February)

10) Take a family trip to Costa Rica (Originally, this was supposed to be in June, now we are thinking more like December. We paid the cars off so we have to start saving again)

11) Be kinder (My intent on this one was not to be such a B$#@%! Hmmm, how am I doing on this one? I guess my family would be the best ones to ask. Truly, it depends on the day, if I am having a good hair day, if I found an outfit that made me look skinny, etc. Guess I REALLY need to start working on this one!)

12) Think more positively (See above)

13) Take more weekend trips alone with my hubby (One down...time to plan another one)

14) Stop procrastinating (You be the judge...It's April and I JUST started my blog!)

15) Maintain balance in all aspects of my life (I would rate myself a B on this one. I am still taking Fridays and Sundays off. However, I do cheat on myself sometimes and plan an appt on Friday. But I always bust myself! Still working on it)

16) Take a Zumba class (Forgot about this one too! I am setting a goal to do this by the end of April...Is that blowing #14???)

17) Sign up for Spanish lessons (I found a place that does this once a week. I will investigate this next week)

18) Declutter my life (Now this one is gonna have to happen one drawer/closet at time. I am not a total pig or anything. It would just be nice to have "A place for everything and everything in its place)

19) Stay on a budget (Did really well in February...but March was OUT OF CONTROL. April's budget was ready last week and we ARE sticking to it!)

20) Perform one random act of kindness a day (Forgot about this one also. Hey, if I do this, can I mark off #11 with it??? Kill two birds with one stone???)

Well, taking an over-all look at my wishes, I am pretty proud of myself. Are there areas that need IMMEDIATE attention? Yup! Have I done exceptional well in others? Yup! At least by blogging about it, I am able to keep track of the areas that need attention, as well as getting a pat on the back for the ones that I am proud of. Gotta go declutter a drawer or something...wonder if I can just put that off until later? Kidding!
