Who knew that keeping my resolutions would be as easy as announcing them publicly?
I've been working at it. I don't know that I'll meet all of my resolutions, but it sure is fun to try!
No Spenduary helped to pay for the unexpected trip to Australia. I'm not currently in a "no spend" mode - but I am actively saving money to pay to replace the roof on the house this fall.
2) 40 bags in 40 days
Well, this didn't work out during Lent. I'm still working on getting boxes and bags out of the house. Husband has been on a mission trip the last week in June, so I've actually gotten a lot of stuff out of the house this month!
10 bags/boxes at the end of May
7 bags/boxes in June
17 Total Boxes/Bags at the end of June. Just 23 more to go! I hope I get this done by the end of the year!
3) Get Away With my Husband - TWICE
1) Australia
2) Where next?
4) Get One Big Debt Paid Off This Year
Working on paying off the Civic
5) Finish Daughter's and Husband's Quilts
Once again, no progress on this. I hope to pull out the sewing machine, suck it up, and finish husbands quilt this month. No excuses. Just do it!
HOORAY!!!! We spent a long weekend with him over Memorial Day! The entire family!
HOORAY!!!! I'd like to think I'll get out to see him one more time this year. Maybe we'll make it for Thanksgiving? I'm not sure - daughter is still in college, and her school tends to run classes through Wednesday. We've got time on this one.
7) Replace the Roof on the House this Fall
Working on this one! The dream is to have enough cash to not only replace the roof, but also the gutters, and maybe add a front porch. That's do-able, right?
I've done it! I'm at 4 days a week now! PLUS - I am getting over there at 5:45 am now. Holy cow! What a great start to my day! (It's a really early start, but it's a start!)
9) Make some of my Christmas Gifts this Year
I need to get moving on this one. What do I get kids who are grown and living on their own? The boys are going to be a problem... Maybe a sweater? It's a lofty sounding goal....
Well, I've stopped keeping track. I'm giving up on this one.
I honestly don't have the time to keep track of everything I spend at the grocery store.
11) Turn my yarn and fabric stash into something more... but what?
Graduation present for daughter's boyfriend.
Baby Blanket for a Co-Worker
Turned a spool of tulle and blingy sparkles into a Fascinator for the Royal Wedding.
I'm currently working on a shrug for myself with yarn that I purchased for that purpose 4 years ago. It's a beautiful, sea green and blue yarn. I've found a wonderful lacy vest pattern that I purchased online.
I did it! And it was a big one! I went to Australia with my husband!
13) Have One Media Free Day per Week
Not been a problem.
