Optimistic Monday

November 5, 2012

Welcome to my very first Optimistic Monday party!!

This will be my regular Optimistic Monday post that I post each week.  However, if you have a blog and want to do a similar post and link up below, I’d love to have you!  I love reading about other people’s goals for the week and if they accomplish them.  So, even if you don’t write a blog, please visit the other blog party posts and see what’s going on with the others.

Goals from last week:
1.  Walk 3-4 times at least 3 miles each
I actually had my walking buddy this week.  Yay!  We had our walks, Starbucks and chats.
10/29/12 3.41 miles, 10/30//12 3.21 miles, 10/31/12 3.18 miles, 11/2/12 3.14 miles
2.  Film at least 3 Youtube videos, including a few reviews
Yes, I was able to get 3 videos up this week.
3.  4-5 Blog posts, including a few beauty product reviews
Yes, I posted on my blog 5 times this week.
4.  Make 2 of the amazing oatmeal recipes I saved from Pinterest last week
I only made one of the recipes this week.  It was the Cherry Oatmeal cookies.  They were fabulous!  The problem with baking (for me) is that I want to eat and eat…  So, I packed a bunch of cookies and brought them to my daughter at college.  I guess I need to start baking things that I don’t like so I won’t eat them.  I also made some simple Glazed Pork Chops for the family one night from a Pinterest recipe.  I think I am getting a little bit addicted to Pinterest.
5.  Continue the daunting task of cleaning out my closet…
Little by little I am getting there

Goals for this week:
1.  Try to figure out how to do the link up party for this post…  Hopefully I figured it out before posting this on Monday morning.
2.  Walk 3 times
3.  Cook or bake something new.
4.  Start organizing my thoughts on  how to set something up to reach out to cancer patients and others who are ill.  I want to do some sort of system where people can make cards, send cards, etc. to those who are in need of a smile.  I will figure it out soon.
5.  Do some research on ways to improve my blog, find my tribe, etc.

I’m ready to spring forward and I bet you are too! I’m ready to spring forward and I bet you are too!

These new pieces from Soft Surroundings are perfect for lighter layers and softer palettes and all the things we love about Spring (my favorite season). #ad

This outfit will be perfect for my trip to Palm Springs. It’s one of those super versatile outfits that I can dress up or down. And I can add an extra layer if needed too.

The pull-on style jeans are so easy to wear. I paired them with the softest gauze button down top in a gorgeous colorful floral print.

And who could resist the fun turquoise trimmed raffia cowgirl hat for a little extra sun protection?!👩🏻‍🌾

Weekend fit check… My first outfit from Good Ame Weekend fit check… 

My first outfit from Good American. Love the quality of the bodysuit, sweater and jeans. The relaxed style is different for me, but definitely still fun. 

The jeans are a petite length but still a little too long for me with their 30” inseam. I plan to just cut off 2 inches and have a raw hem instead.

It’s a cold day here in North Texas. No big plans other than a little family celebration for my mother in law’s 85th birthday!🎉🎂🥳
