Just in the interest of full disclosure, I thought I'd take Saturdays this month to update you on my goals so far:
1. Soup Night. So far, so good. On Tuesday we had potato soup (recipe coming soon!) and homemade bread (just not homemade by me! Haha!)
2. Clothes to consignment. I made an appointment with the store for 11/30 (they offered me Friday, 11/26. I looked at her in disbelief -- "I don't think I want to be anywhere near this mall on Black Friday!" I told her.)
3. Start making Christmas presesnts. I've done nothing on this!
4. Thank-you notes. Kinsey's done hers; they just need to be addressed. Callie hasn't started yet.
5. Hit the gym four day a week. This past week I went to the gym Mon-Fri (that's Monday THROUGH Friday, not Monday AND Friday) at 5:30 in the morning. Can I get a hoo-yah? I also went for a long walk on Wednesday with a friend. (Of course, there is nothing in my goals list regarding number of cookies consumed... Maybe that will be for December.)
What about you? How are your goals going? Need any encouragement?
Lain, you are rockin' girl. Monday THROUGH Friday? Awesome.
I had the Swine flu and it has set me WAY back. I ended up being sick for over two weeks. Now that I am better and the RGH is back to work (he was home 6 weeks) I have time to catch up.
I guess I should do a goals list. It might help keep me on track. Encouragement? Uh, yeah...

What a great idea! You've made your blog your accountability group! Here's your "HOO-YAH" for the M-F trips to the gym in the dark.
HOO-YAH!! HOO-YAH!! HOO-YAH!!
I'm impressed! What a great start on your November goals.

You should check out the book "Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day". It really makes breadmaking incredibly simple, and I know how you like simple, girl!

Yeah Lain!!
Let's see....
1) I started on our entry/laundry room--the entry bench has been sold on craig's list-buyer picking it up on Tues. Some of the stuff has been returned to the garage still more to go though.
2) Started helping son with his room today--all of his too small clothing is out of his dresser, I can walk to his dresser now without stepping on something.
3) Haven't touched my laundry yet.
4)No Decluttering yet.
5) No plan of attack on storage areas...
I have 3 Sundays, 3 Mondays, 2 Thurs, and 2 Saturdays to finish!
