Optimistic Monday

August 13, 2012

Goals from last week:
1.  Walk 4 times this week.
I had a strange walking week…  Monday and Tuesday I watched my son at his golf tournament.  Monday I was able to watch 11 holes and Tuesday I watched all 18 holes.  It was  over 105 degrees each day.  So after all of that walking I needed a few days to recover.  The heat takes it out of me for sure.  And I was dumb and wore new shoes the second day that gave me blisters!  I did get back to my routine by Saturday.
8/6/12 3.5 miles, 8/7/12 5.44 miles, 8/11/12 3.22 miles
2.  Bake something new and from scratch.
I did not meet this goal. Instead I observed my daughter making these fun Cherry Pie Pops that she found on Pinterest.  Directions to follow in another post…

3.  Cook dinner 2-3 times.

I actually cooked three times this week!  Miracles do happen.
4.  Minimum of 3 blog post this week.
This was not a problem.  I seem to have a lot to say lately.
5.  Minimum of filming 2 Youtube videos this week.
This was not a problem either.  Keep the requests for videos coming!  Please take some time and visit my YouTube channel when you get some time.  While you are there please subscribe!
6.  Learn something new about the functions of my new camera that should arrive any day now.
My new camera arrived on Thursday.  I played with it and learned a little bit.  By Saturday I was able to catch some of my first action shots while the family played in the pool.  I have always wanted to catch people in the air and the splashes of water…  I have not learned how to edit yet.  I think that skill will come later.
(be sure to click on the pictures for a larger view)

7.  Take some extra time this week to appreciate the people in my life.
Of course I did this.  I am Blessed!
Goals for this week:
1.Walk 4 times.
2.  Bake a new recipe for dessert.
3.  Make a new dish for dinner rather than the old standbys.
4.  Take more pictures after hopefully learning new camera skills.
5.  Organize my blog schedule on paper so that I can keep up with it better.
6.  Begin to clean out my closet (once again).  I think the goal for this week will be to go though my shoes and donate what I don’t wear.

Did you set any goals?
Have a GREAT week!

    Love these photos you took! So much fun! My goal this week is to exercise more than one time like I did last week. So far I’ve already worked out last night so I need to do it at least one to two more times this week. Slowly getting back into the swing of things after vacation. 🙂

    LOVE your goals 🙂 I make some every Monday too! I’m trying to track all my Weight Watchers points, get up early every morning and write letters to friends and family for a few of my goals this week!

    Hope you’re having a fantastic week!

    Those cherry pie pops look awesome! I don’t usually set weekly goals for myself because I know just feel like a failure when I don’t meet them. But your post has me feeling inspired. Maybe I’ll just start with one a week, considering we just welcomed a new baby! Visiting from Sharefest – Happy Saturday!

Friendships are an important part of our lives, so Friendships are an important part of our lives, so what better way to celebrate than with a Girlfriend’s Friendsgiving on our girl’s trip to Nashville.💖

We enjoyed spending time together and while there we gifted each other with some of our personal favorite things and Julie Vos jewelry is one of mine.💖

I think everyone would agree that @julievos jewelry is the perfect gift for every woman and we thank her for helping to make our celebration sparkle.💖 

I’m now calling these our “friendship bracelets”.💖

Annie wasn’t able to open her gift with us that day as she had to depart early for the birth of her first grandchild, but you can see that she loves her new jewels too!

Thanks to @blessingandsass @mcfatherdesigns @romyraves @arebelinprada for your friendship and support!

Be sure to visit the Julie Vos website for your holiday gifting needs and make a wishlist for yourself too!

I was so excited when the Italian shoe brand Balle I was so excited when the Italian shoe brand BallereTTe reached out to me a few weeks ago because I knew I’d be in Italy in November and they have a retail store in Venice that I could personally visit.

The brand was born in Rome and is inspired by the style and comfort needs of women. You can see some of their ballet flats, Mary Janes, loafers and more in this video.

I tried on several pairs until I found the one that I knew will fit perfectly into my lifestyle. I also made note of a few styles that I will order in the future since they ship worldwide (quickly and for a small shipping fee).🎉

Fun fact - Each flat shoe is named after a district of the eternal city or a historically and culturally significant area. Because the story of @balleretteofficial is deeply rooted in the territory: handcrafted in Italy with leathers carefully selected in Italian factories.

Thank you BallereTTe for your hospitality, the excellent customer service and my new shoes! I love them!!💖
