Goals

I often have lists of things I need to get done. The lists used to contain mostly of school things which made them much much longer. I'm still a lister, but I've got a few goals in mind that I need to accomplish. Not to sound like a dork, but when a professor expecting me to get something done on time (which was always obviously) I could crank that something out right on schedule. Leaving me feeling very satisfied with my (procrastinating) self.

I figure if I tell my blog-life then I'll have to report so I don't feel like a failure/slacker/procrastinator...what have you. You shall be my support and my pressure to perform blog world. Don't let me down!

I have a big plan, well two big plans:

Plan/goal 1:

Finish my senior paper for good. That's right, I still haven't gotten it 100% approved. This has been very frustrating to me. I have done a good 8-10 drafts and they each keep coming back for more review. I know I'm not the best writer, but I'm not the worst either. And yes, truthfully I didn't exactly review it solidly each time. I just kept hoping it would be good enough because 'they' say it's so close each time. Well how close is passing!? My heavens. I've gotten pretty bitter about the thing (especially cause I worked my self to a major stress level between that and senior show) and I've taken a good couple months off from it. Until now.

Now I'm going to finish it. I want to turn it in by the end of October. I must. I need to feel the satisfaction of REALLY getting my diploma reading 'December 2011 Graduate.' Necessity.


Plan/goal 2: to get back in shape. Not necessarily pre-pregnancy weight cause I have never really felt a need to know my exact weight (why the pressure?) plus I love sweets too much to make myself feel that frustrated. Just a good healthy, (I'll ignore my sweet cravings better) somewhat toned Kenni. That's what I'd like.

I bought a series of work out dvd's right after I had Zuri. Mom's into Fitness by Lindsay Brin I felt kind of silly working out to a TV, and she says the most hilarious things such as "squeeze your bun cakes!" but it kind of worked wonders in no time. I did the 'boot camp' section for a month and lost 6 pounds, finally getting me to my pre-pregnancy weight. (I'm not for numbers, but it felt nice anyways). .....then I got pregnant again so that all came back. But the point is, I'm going to try and do it again. It has an 8 week program on the DVD and I'm going to do it. That's right. I will.


So those are the goals! wish me luck.

Meanwhile:

I think the girls will be owls for Halloween. there is a cute DIY costume I found on Pinterest that I think I'll use. Not sure what Chris and I should be. We don't really get into dressing up much...ok, ever but we should do something, right? any suggestions?

I am so proud of you! Way to have those goals and I am totally going to get that DVD and work out too. This tummy chub must go. And I can't wait to see pictures of the Vial Owlettes! I think you should be a tree and Chris the moon, that just seems to work well with two little owls. Haha.

I am loving your goals--those are great! Thanks for sharing. You totally have inspired me to be more goal-oriented. Love the idea of the little owl Vials!
