Two Weeks Later

Hi everyone,

Well, I've been making some progress, but not as much as maybe is good.

Health
I seriously have been slacking off on the vitamins, but I need to go get more from the store and I just keep forgetting. We are going grocery shopping tonight, so that's one thing I will get. Also, I determined that I need to figure out when I can get my eyes tested. I thought about scheduling the test today, but I don't know when would work for me with all the Jewish holidays coming up. We've already postponed Raif's birthday celebration because of the holidays as well, so you can understand how annoying this is in a scheduling thing can be.

Wealth
I ordered the Sunday paper today, to start on 10/05. It's a $1.25 per paper, and the goal is to try to get more than that in coupons out of each paper. If it doesn't work, than we're going to cancel the paper. We're also planning on getting a Costco membership, so that should help with money as well.

Nesting
We tried to set up the VCR/DVD in the bedroom and it didn't work very well, so we need to get a remote for it. We keep saying that we'll get cable in there and use the remote that comes with that. I'm not sure if we'll do that, but if we don't there's a $9 universal remote at Best Buy that we can get. I also let the lady know about our leaking shower faucet, so hopefully they will take care of that at some point. I'm looking into the cloth bags thing, but I don't want to buy things that suck and will fall apart in a moment (i.e the $1 you buy at the grocery bags)

Creativity
I decorated a cake for our anniversary and it turned out really well! I have to ask my husband what he wants for his cake, since that is coming up...if he wants it this week, I will probably make the cake tomorrow.

Religion
My husband and I discussed a schedule for me learning how to lead shacharit, the morning service for Shabbat, and so that should be interesting. It'll mostly start mid-October when things get a little bit less crazy.

Relationships
We are hosting people for Rosh Hashanah, through the Rabbi's wife, since she does all the matching for people for holidays. We got invited by ourselves to both dinners, but we asked to be matched for first day lunch and then we're hosting for second day lunch. So that's one goal!

That's it for right now. Not so bad!

Progress...  

Monday, September 8, 2008

So, the most progress I am making is on my Sims game to write a legacy. Basically, it is ten generations of the same Sim family, and I'd like to post it on the Sims 2 forum. So far it is going well, but my family is too big for the money I have. Oh well. I'm really enjoying myself with it, which is part of the point.

Other things I'm working on:

Health
I have been exercising as often as possible, which hasn't totally been 3 times a week, but close. No vitamins. I apparently suck at vitamins. But I like salad, so that one has been good. I just have to remember to eat it, which is apparently the part that I am not as good at.

Wealth
I found out how much it would cost to get the Sunday Chicago Tribune, but haven't done anything with that knowledge yet. I also need a coupon organizer if I'm going to do this well. I've also been paying bills when they come in, which is a good idea so that I don't forget about them!

Nesting
My husband has been doing a better job of cleaning before bed than I have. But it still works out, so our apartment is a lot cleaner!

Cooking
I am making dinner tonight! Yay Vegetarian Chili on a nice cool day!

Creativity
The aforementioned legacy on the sims.

Religion/Spirituality
I talked to someone about maybe learning the services for Rosh Hashanah. If that becomes a reality, it will clearly become a 101 goal, because that will surely be a big project!

Fun
I've been reading the funny pages on the NY Times website every day at work. They are pretty funny most of the time. I also watched Jon Stewart last week during the RNC convention and he gave me a great laugh.

Travel
My husband and I talked about maybe taking a long trip when we are done with our jobs and before we start graduate school. It sounds like such a great idea to us!

Relationships
I need to get on those cards if I am going to do them. Also, I need to order b-day presents for my husband and ask him what he wants to do for his birthday.
