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?!

    Welcome to Weekly Wishes! You will love it- it’s so addicting and fun! Good luck getting those backups done- I’m so paranoid about stuff like that. I’m sure it will be a huge relief to cross those off your to-do list!

    I totally need to do some backups! I have a hundred million photos I need to do something with before my computer crashes. I’m going on 10 years with this one…so it’s any day now!!!

    Consider me your newest follower! I’d love for you to come back and check out the rest of my blog!!

    Look at you! Little energizer bunny. I have been so lazy since our class ended, except at work. Your blog is blossoming nicely. What is your second summer course?

      haha, yeah I just keep trucking on! I’m taking Adventures in Memoir. I’m really enjoying the books. It’s much easier to read novels/memoirs than Bhabha ;)

        No doubt! I feel forever changed for having my mind touch his words. Phew.

    Good reminder about backing-up. I can’t remember the last time I’ve done this – yikes!

      And I still haven’t done it – better get to it this weekend! I did order some nice hard cases for both HDs for the move… that counts for something!
