Keepin up with the goals and changes in life

New 101 in 1001 with explanations! There's been a lot of changes in life... OF COURSE this means changing some goals. I've been working on these for about 4 days now but here's what I have.

10 was buy a house but it has been changed to remodel our house. After time and time and TIME again of looking at house after house after house we found NOTHING. Everything we found was either worse than the house we were in now or just the same, everything needed work and most needed LOTS of work and what was going to be the point of buying a house we couldn't afford to fix. We finally decided we weren't close enough to our roommates to help them out (well not including Patrick) and we needed to start thinking about us. About three months ago Shane told them they needed to leave by May 31st! Finally the end is in sight!!!!! We've also bought tile, laminate flooring, paint, new light fixtures, and many other things to go up soon. I actually painted our bedroom this weekend and its AWESOME!!! Pictures of the before and after to come!

11. Since I traded in my car for a new truck for Shane to help me better afford my life I no longer have a car! However, I couldn't really say I paid it off because I didn't. Shane paid the 1400 over trade in for it and I just got off scotch free. So I just erased the goal and decided to replace it with a new one!
The NEW number 11 is ride my bike or walk more often no excuses I've already walked through it all! It's not like I have far to go... about 1.5 miles is the farthest and that's not that far! In addition, I now have a gas gussler and with how green I'm trying to be I'd rather not buy even more gas and spread it into my environment.

13. This goal was actually never there so wasn't changed. I chose to put my goal of using my reusable grocery bags in this one. I have SO many of them and I always forget them!!!!

16. Is now find 100 things that make me happy. It used to be say 2 good things about my day but that doesn't really make anything different, I'm a pretty positive person so instead I need to really grasp the things that make me happy!

39. This is just a minor change, the goal was keep my weight between 110 and 115, but it is now 115 and 120 because 110 is almost impossible and probably not very healthy, I've come to the conclusion that we are not supposed to look like we did in high school!

45. I added don't text and drive to this one because I really do it too much and it's dangerous!

71. I don't want to limit myself to just the Da Vinci Code or Lost Symbol so instead it is read at least two books I WANT to read that are not Buddhism books.

Last but not least I changed... 91.
91 was finish the cross stitch I started and begin a new one... well there was one problem to that! I found it MODELED in my closet so it was RUINED and there was no return so I had to toss it. I bought 3 new cross stitches and my new goal is to finish at least 2 of them! I'm pretty excited to see them!

About Me

My photo
I'm a pretty simple person. I am very much hometown and would rather spend a good night with my family, boyfriend, or dog than go out and do "the college thing." I love the summer time, camping, fishing, and the sun in general. I work at the only bridal shop in town which is fabulous (my mom's word totally). I want so badly to be done with college which you will probably figure out and love my family, dog, and boyfriend more than anything.
