Optimistic Monday

September 17, 2012

Wow!  That was a crazy week!  I had too many events scheduled that had me feeling a little bit of anxiety.  I just dealt with each day, one by one, and got through it just fine.  This week will leave me with a bit more free time, I hope…

Goals from Last week:

1.  Keep up with my blog by posting at least 3 times.
Yes!
2.  Post at least 2 Youtube videos.
Yes!
3.  Figure out how to reply to comments on my blog.
Sort of…  The only way I can seem to reply directly to comments on my blog is through the Blogger app on my iPad.  This is really frustrating!  If anyone knows of a better way please share it with me ASAP!
4.  Spend more time replying to comments on my Youtube videos.
Yes, I was able to sit in Starbucks with my laptop one morning and replied to many comments.  I need to grab my laptop more often before heading out the door. 
5.  Get in at least 2 walks this week.
NO!  I was only able to get in one walk this week.  I was planning to walk more but the rain & appointments kept me from the outdoors.  At least I had one great walk!
9/10/12 5.17 miles
6.  Mail out at least 5 cards/gift cards to my chemo angel patients.
No!  I only mailed 4 this week.  I promise to mail more this week.

Here are a few pictures from my busy week:

My daughter’s homecoming mum.  It’s a Texas thang!

Mack trying on her mum.  Yes, It is worn around her neck since it is so big & heavy.
Bloggy Boot Camp Dallas – Speaker Tiffany Romero (LOVED HER!)

Goals for this week:
1.  Back to walking this week.
  I would like to get in at least 4 walks.
2.  Work on my blog after learning so many helpful tips at Bloggy Boot Camp on Saturday.
3.  2-3 YouTube videos.
4.  Cook a new crock pot meal.  Or should I say cook any meal.  LOL!
5.  Get a few thank you cards written and mailed.
There’s nothing like an old fashioned handwritten note.
6.  Schedule a flight to visit my parents in Florida.
Most of you know that my parents are in poor health.  I need to go visit and spend some time with them.  I am so busy with my kids that I feel bad for not getting there more often.  I don’t want to live with regrets later, so this is a priority this week.
7.  Network with my new blog friends.
Anybody else setting goals this week?
If I did this post as a weekly link-up, would any other bloggers be interested in participating?

Have a GREAT week!

    Hi! I think I can help with being able to reply to your comments. I was having the same problem. On your comments under Comment Location choose Embedded. I changed mine to this option and I was able to reply to my comments. Hope it helps.

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.

👉 Ready to simplify your skincare routine without sacrificing results?💕
