Woohoo, it’s finally September! Where Summer turns into Fall and we start gearing up toward the holidays (and a certain toddler’s birthday… *Sob*). We’ve actually had a pretty good Summer; we got to do a lot of fun things, both inside and outside. September’s going to be pretty busy, especially the weekends, so I need to make sure we all get some sort of rest time during the week.
So, goals! I did pretty good last month; let’s break it down.
Personal
Couch to 5k 3 days a week- I’ve only been able to go out on Sundays. Now that John goes to work in the mornings, I can’t do my morning runs, and it’s just been too hot after Allison goes to bed. BUT- I ran a full 5k for the first time this month! Three times! So I no longer need the C25k app; I’m so pumped for my first 5k race next week!
Organize the office- Done! Here’s a before and after of the cluttered table.
I threw away some things, put all the CDs onto my video game rack in the little closet, and just did some general organizing. It’s not perfect, but at least I can see the table now!
Stock pantry and freezer
Take Allison to Kings Island by myself- I was all set to do this, and then I was informed that Kings Island went back to their non-summer schedule, which means they’re only open on the weekends. *sadface* We’ll have to go a few more times before they close for the season.
Blogging
Upload blog re-design
Set up new email list
Keep Twitter scheduler full
Try to write 2 posts a day instead of 1- What I’ve found to work better is to still write one post a day, but continue to do it Saturday and Sunday as well. That way I’m always at least 2 posts ahead. I’d like to do more, but this is good for now!
Goals For This Month
Personal
Find a method of staying organized and stick to it
More crafts with Allison- I made a list of things to buy on Amazon in the next week or so; she’s going to be up to her ears in craft stuff!
Get to Kings Island at least one more time
Fill my freezer: Spaghetti sauce, at least 2 other meals
Blogging
Fill up October AND November’s post schedule
Create email freebie (Helpful charts PDFs, etc)
Write 2 guest posts
Look into taking pictures with my camera instead of my phone
