Get Real- part II

January 5th, 2010

Did you know that they actually expect me to work while I am “at work” and not play on the computer all day?  the nerve of them. 

so I did not get my goals for the year down yesterday. Because I was actually working for a good part of the day.Which left very little time for computer work. I should have suspected the first day back after a long holiday would be like that.

But get real monday was of little success. I did not get out of bed on time which resulted in me being late to work (again). Which ironically coincided with my supervisor letting me know I have a performance evalution coming up at the end of the month. 

Have no fear dear friends, I am not worried. but I do need to get on with it because I have an instrument 40 miles up the road in need of some TLC…..

For 2010 I have decided I need to set some goals. Typically I don’t like the set goals ( I would just break them anyway) and statistically speaking most new years resolutions are forgotten by about middle of February. Which may hold true for me also, but hey, I just need something to work towards this year.

As I stated in a previous post about getting the kids to eat their veggies. This has been only mildly successful. I think I may need to put a lock on the refridgerator to keep the two youngest children out of there. They are filling up on milk, cheese, and yogurt (all good things) and still not eating any veggies.  I have put veggies on their plates every night in some fashion and they won’t touch the stuff. They have even gone to bed hungry and that has not even worked.  But I am hoping to get them to slowly change over the course of the year. There is still hope for them.

So here is the run down–

1. Eat more veggies. I am not sure what is the recommended requirement for amout of veggies per day but I need to get there. Alittle more brocilli and a little less chocolate. This should be a little better for my thighs.

2.  Start running again. I use to run. I would never classify me as a great runner but I could run. I would run even when not being chased.  So I want to work on trying to run a 1/2 marathon by the end of the year. The Dallas/White Rock Lake marathon in is the beginning of December. I will work toward that. This too might work wonders for my thighs.

3.  Finish all works in progress and NOT START ANYTHING NEW! I have 1 quilt that I need to finish quilting and then bind. I have another that is in the beginning stages and I just signed up for the block of the month club over at the Quilting Patch.  If that does not keep me occupied all year, I don’t know what will. I also have all of 2009 to scrap. Oh yes, I still scrapbook. It was my orginal hobby love. Now it comes in a close third after cooking and quilting. This will not do anything for my thighs but will do something for my peace of mind.

4. Stay more organized. When 5 people live in 1150 square feet you have to be organized or things get messy really quickly.  Jeff and I had a spring cleaning day on Saturday. It was marvelous. I had the boys scrubbing baseboards and bathrooms. House looks great. but it needs to stay that way. So my moto for 2010 “Everything has a place, so put it there!” 

5.  I am going to be taking a computer break for a bit. I need to decided if I want to keep this blog going for another two years.  I may be gone until after spring break which is the third week in March. I might be back sooner. I have not decided yet.  but I need to refresh and clear my brain. You will still be able to reach me by email.

I guess that is it. It seemed like more when it was in my head.
