Mood and Food

Yes, today my mood is as crazy as my snack choices. This is the first day in a looong time that I've had to myself. Soooooo, what to do-what to do? Scrapbook? Paint? Read? Clean? Cook? (no definitely not that one) Blog? Organize......something? "AAAAAH." I'm over-whelmed with this much time. Guess I work better under pressure. Even when it's just fun work!

And so far, today's fun work has consisted of taking pictures of my food.

Basically what I'm saying is that I'll probably waste my entire free day. Knowing me, I will probably 'start' a little of everything today. (uh-oh. that goal just flew right out the window) Then in a couple of days, when I don't have much time, I'll fly into 'over-time' work mode and finish everything. OK...OK, most of it.

Enjoy your day and always remember to Shine!

Goals

It's the 5th day of the 1st week of twenty ten and boy have I ever set some goals for myself. I've never been very goal-oriented. I was usually a, "Whatever will be, will be." type of girl. A little something I like to call, faith. However, the last year or two I have been setting a lot goals for myself. Just small things that I make up as I go. Such as, "I am not going to eat out one single time this week" accomplished. "Finish all the housework today, even if it means staying up til 2am" accomplished. "Don't start another project til this one is complete" accomplished. "Take store returns back promptly. Don't let them set around for 2-3 weeks or more" accomplished. (kind of) Please tell me other people do that too.

Willy-nilly goals...be gone!

2010 goals...big. Very, VERY big.

Of course I have the normal things like grow spiritually, emotionally and physically (also accomplished in '09). And the never-ending, improve on every other aspect of my life: motherhood, wife, daughter, friend, etc. I am so-a work in progress!

Being a mother and wife, so on and so forth is wonderful and makes me who I am...but...this years goals are a lot more personal. My children are FAR from being grown and gone (it's OK with Doug and I if they never want to leave. it's selfish...I know. but we love them so) but it's also OK for me to start thinking and planning for a future that will be very different from the one I've been accustomed to and have loved for the last decade and a half. This years list is full of goals pertaining to outside (me, myself and I) personal interests and hobbies, as well as possible future career moves.

On Dec. 31, 2010 I will post those crazy goals along with the outcome of...accomplished or not!! By the way, there are 10.

Shine!
