A Friday post?! Whaaaat? This is what happens when I get not one, but TWO snow days! Woop woop! The above pic was taken from my porch on Wednesday night. But full disclosure: this post was 3/4 drafted by Tuesday night, so not really all that amazing, but I was able to complete the last 3 of my March goals on Wednesday, so yay you get pics! And WOW...

| this makes me chuckle every time I see it |
- Dentist appointment- I tried, but apparently they never received my paperwork from the insurance company, so I couldn't go. SIGH.
- Schedule iPhone battery fix- Yes! I didn't realize it was such a process though. You call, they take down your info, and then you gotta wait two weeks until they get your battery in stock... redic. So I'm going on Saturday.
- Purchase a new scale- I forgot this was on here. Oops.
- Get taxes done- Check!
- Continue working on Erin's Reading Challenge- Yup! 8/10!
- Upload, organize and delete phone pictures- there's no storage on there, again. sigh. - Yes!
- Book Florida vacation for friend's wedding- Again, I tried. Waiting to hear back from the bride about hotels before purchasing flight so we can bundle it.
- Book another getaway- Nope. I'm waiting to hear back from Bossman about a work conference that I'd turn into a vacation, otherwise I think we'll do a long weekend in NOLA.
- Clean out one closet- Check!
5/9... at least it's more than half? (Also I'm surprised I only had 9. What an odd number.) At least the ones I didn't complete were out of my control though. Onwards!
March Goals

- Continue morning and night skin routines

Get my apartment and possessions 100% organized
I'm about halfway done with this one. I need to go through all the crap I have stored in the basement that no longer serves any purpose other than taking up space.

Organize all of my music files, delete/update as necessary
I've uploaded all of these onto my laptop, and then left them there. I need to sort, delete old songs I'm tired of and broken links, edit song titles, etc.

Clean out my closets and purge
I did this awhile ago, but I'm still working on the "purge" part as I'm trying to sell a lot rather than just throw things out or donate them.

I've accrued quite a bit of makeup while I've been trying to find out what works, but I still want to use it up or toss it.
Enroll in a Graduate Program or professional coursework/certification
I'm waiting to hear back from my boss about a certification course this May. Fingers crossed!
Update resume
Another work in progress. I've done several drafts and enlisted the help of some friends though, so hopefully this one will be completed soon!

What goals are you working on this month?
Linking up with The Peaceful Posse and Nicole
Congrats on paying off a student loan! That's such a great feeling. I need to find somewhere to post my goals that I actually see, or do a better job of checking my notebook daily/weekly. I have them all written down in a notebook but then forget about them.
ReplyDeleteLOL we both have lots of cleaning planned for March! It just feels like a good time to get it done though, then you're all set to just enjoy the spring and summer months ahead!
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on organising our linen cupboard this month. I keep putting it off but March is THE month I finally do it.
ReplyDeleteI love that movie. Don't they have their interview the next day? I laugh out loud each time I watch it.
Looks like a lot of progress to me!! I need to put paying off my student loans into my goals because I have been paying bare minimum while in school
ReplyDeleteI love the Stepbrothers GIF. That seriously is my favorite part of that whole movie. Tee hee!
ReplyDeleteThe closets look real good & you are rockin' your goals. Awesome! :)
Have a great weekend, girlie!
I haven't seen Stepbrothers in forever! I hear you on the dentist though. My last one was a real jerk and now I need to find a new one. Great job on the closets! I need to purge my boys closets again. I guess Spring Break will be for spring cleaning :) . Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your February goals and all your other "bucket list" items seem to be going well. I want to make a 30 by 30 list, and I have ideas, I just need to figure out how many more I need to add. haha

I've been toying with the idea of making a 101 in 1001 list, but I honestly don't know if I could come up with 101 realistic goals that could be achieved in that amount of time. If I do decide to do this, it probably won't be for a while ... There are a couple of things that I'm working toward right now that, if they happen, will require the majority of my attention and time. (Sorry to be vague, but they're more personal goals that I'm not ready to share just yet.) That would obviously leave less time for other goals, and then I'd just feel behind. And I hate feeling behind!
ReplyDeleteI want to take a cooking class sometime, though. That's a fun goal!
Congrats on your February goals as well! It looks like you did a great job!
Congrats on paying off a couple of student loans!
ReplyDeleteI’m so jealous of your closet space!! Now that we’re looking at homes, I’m noticing that so many don’t have ample closets and like, where do you put your sh*t?!? Awesome that you’ve paid off some student loans and look alike you did a great job overall in Feb! Best of luck with your March goals and hope you book a vacation soon (always nice to have that to look forward to, right??).
ReplyDeleteMarch sounds loaded with fun but doable things; I like it. :)
ReplyDeleteThat snow, good lord, where do you live? You must be down in Jersey or New York, right? I’m up in Canada and we’ve such a weird up and down winter this year. Extreme cold to what feels like fall. It’s been weird but I also think it’s too good to be true for spring to be already here.
Happy March and good luck with your goals girl, and all that storage space. ;)
