Optimistic Monday

January 14, 2013

Happy Monday Everyone!

I must start by warning you that I didn’t quite get to my goals this past week.  I got sidetracked by the rainy weather and family life, which made me alter my goals just a bit.  That’s okay.  I’ll focus better this week on my goals because I really like to check things off my lists.

My goals for last week:

1.  Bake the Cherry Almond Biscotti recipe that I found on Pinterest.
I didn’t bake at all this week.  That’s sort of good because I didn’t exercise enough to be eating cookies and biscotti.

2.  Walk 4 times this week.
I only “officially” walked twice this week.  We had 48 hours of straight rain here.  Once the rain was done I had 2 days of sitting at National Cheer competition.
1/7/13 4.17 miles, 1/9/13 3.02 miles
cheer competition
It’s finally over!  They did great!
3.  Make the returns to stores that need to be done.
I didn’t get back to Nordstrom this week.  It’s a little bit far and with the bad weather and all I never made it.  It will be added to next week’s tasks.
4.  Read.
I read just a bit this week (mostly magazines).  I’ve just been so busy in my mind these past few months that reading has been so difficult to sit and focus on.  I’m sure it will happen soon enough.
5.  Mail out a few packages.
Yes, I mailed out all sorts of packages this week.  I love that feeling!
6.  Work on my blog.
Yes, I worked on my blog a whole bunch this week.  Actually, I worked on BOTH of my blogs.  If you haven’t already visited what I call my project blog, then go take a look.  I have a NEW blog button in the sidebar of this blog.  Please feel free to “grab it” and share it with your friends.

The code for this button is in my sidebar on the lower right.
Go “grab it” now!
My goals for this week:

1.  Walk 3 times this week.

2.  Start working on my daughter’s senior scrapbook.
 I’m supposed to present this to her in May at a school function.  It would be nice to get this started now so that I’m not doing the whole thing at once the week before it’s due.

3.  Bake something with the dried cherries and almonds that I purchased last week.

4.  Work on blog improvements. 
I’m currently reading Blog, Inc since I saw so many people recommending it.

5.  Continue to purge from my closet.
I have clothes that I keep saying I’m going to wear it someday and that hasn’t come so I’m about to face it and just get rid of it.  I’m certain that there are people out there that could use some new things.

6.  Get those returns made to the stores.

What are you doing this week?

Link up below if you want to share your goals or a positive post.
I’d love to have you!

    This is so neat, Stacie! I need to start making weekly goals in order to hold myself accountable. I let too many things slip through the cracks that should have been done weeks ago b/c I don’t have some type of system in place! This would definitely be helpful. Thanks for the neat idea and the book recommendation (Blog, Inc.), I think I’ll check it out as well!

    I’m co-hosting “Tell me about it Tuesday” and found you through your link!

I’ve been loving the Nakery Beauty Collagen Cushion Pressed Serum — an all-in-one multitasker that makes my routine so simple.💖 #ad

It’s a brand new skincare product and it’s getting all the rave reviews for a good reason!

💎 It has powerhouse ingredients including 15 actives:

• Buah Merah Oil → antioxidant-rich nourishment + protection
• Granactive Retinoid → smooths texture & softens fine lines
• Matrixyl 3000 → peptides that support collagen + firmness
• Feminage → helps skin look more resilient + youthful
• Idealift → targets skin sagging for a lifted appearance
• Plus more hydrating + brightening ingredients for that radiant glow✨

🌟 Why it’s a must-have:

This WATERLESS cushion serum hydrates, firms, smooths, and lifts in one step — no endless layering required. Just press it in and glow.

It’s especially effective for women in the menopausal years who want plumping, firming, hydration, cell turnover and more.
