Weekly Wishes #4

Weekly Wishes

I’m linking up with the Weekly Wishes series and I’m excited to get stuff done this week! I missed the last 2 weeks, but I’m ready to get stuff done this week… :)

Last Week’s Wishes:

1. Write a final paper. I did it and I finished my class! Next one starts next week :)

2. Donate the baby/toddler clothes. Welp, I still have the clothes. And now I have a huge bag of my husband’s clothes as well…

3. Do yoga TWICE this week. Nope, but I did run on the treadmill last week, so that counts for something, right?!

This Week’s Wishes:

1. My mom and sister come for a visit this week, so I need to get their rooms ready.

2. No sugar + No Caffeine. I’m on my 8th week of no sugar and 5th week of no caffeine. Feeling good and I want to keep going!

I’m also giving away a Classic Red Radio Flyer Tricycle over at The Dwelling Tree – check it out!

Weekly Wishes


 

I’m linking up with the Weekly Wishes series and I’m excited to get stuff done this week!

Last Week’s Wishes:

1. Back up iTunes and iPhoto to both my HDs. I did it! I did it! I also got travel cases for both my hard drives. I’m thinking I’ll keep one with me during the move and the other with our stuff that the movers pack and move.

2. Read “In the Neighborhood” for my class. I read it all and it was great. I wrote a book review that hopefully I’ll post later this week.

3. Do yoga at least once this week. I did this too! Only for about 15 minutes. It’s certainly not the same doing it in my bedroom on my yoga mat compared with a calming yoga class… but I could get used to it :)

This Week’s Wishes:

1. Write a final paper. I have one more paper to write for my last summer class!

2. Donate the baby/toddler clothes. I am probably taking these to the homeless shelter, but possibly to friends that might need them.

3. Do yoga TWICE this week. Yep, I’m upping the ante. I just need to start making it a habit!

Ok that’s all I have on this beautiful Monday!

Do you have any goals or wishes for the week?!

Weekly Wishes


 

I’m linking up with the Weekly Wishes series and I’m excited to get stuff done this week!

Last Week’s Wishes:

1. Back up iTunes and iPhoto to both my HDs. I didn’t even attempt this – FAIL!

2. Drop off old clothes at the thrift store. I did it! Plus I went through baby/toddler clothes and I have 2 more bags full to drop off.

3. Write 2 book responses. Done!

This week I should have plenty of time to get stuff done – last week was crazy busy!

This Week’s Wishes:

1. Back up iTunes and iPhoto to both my HDs. Let’s try this one again… I should have time to let my computer work on this while I do #2…

2. Read “In the Neighborhood” for my class. It’s a memoir and it’s not too long, so hopefully it will be a fun read.

3. Do yoga at least once this week. I haven’t done it in FOREVER and I love it. I feel like this is a totally reachable goal – just once!

Ok that’s it for this week! What are YOUR goals and wishes for the week?!

Check out my post from last week on our trip to the San Diego Zoo! I’m giving away 2 subscriptions to National Geographic!

Weekly Wishes #1

Weekly Wishes


This is my very first time linking up for the Weekly Wishes series and I’m excited to start getting stuff done!

We are moving some time in the next couple months, so many of my goals right now are focused on minimizing household belongings and preparing for the big move.

This Week’s Wishes:

1. Back up iTunes and iPhoto to both my HDs. My computer is over 5 years old and it’s going to die ANY DAY NOW so I can’t be too careful!

2. Drop off old clothes at the thrift store. I went through my closet this last week and have a heaping laundry basket full of clothes to give away. I still need to go through my son’s and husband’s closets, but that will be a goal for another week!

3. Write 2 book responses. My second summer class starts today and I have a lot of writing to do over the next couple weeks. All the readings so far have been very good so I’ll probably include part of the reviews on the blog.

Ok that’s it for this week! What are YOUR goals and wishes for the week?!
