Daily Update!

Today has been a really busy, and a REALLY Productive day!!!

I have started making Crystal Rock candy – I hope it turns out, but I won’t know for about a week or so, so I will keep you posted!!! I think it would be a ton of fun if I could do like a live webcam, but then maybe watching sugar crystals form on a string in a jar really isn’t THAT exciting – GO FIGURE!!!

However, I do get to actually cross something off of my list today, and that is my desire to crochet a wrag rug!!! YEAH! IT IS ALL DONE!!! This thing was soooo much harder than I thought it was going to be. I had taken yards and yards of red fabrid – from my apartment renting days (I covered walls in red fabric because it was my favorite color, but I couldn’t paint as a renter). Anyway, I spent quite of bit of time tearing the fabric into long strips, knotting the strips together, and then creating a “yarn” ball that grew to be a little bit bigger than the size of a basketball!!! It was soooo heavy!!! Now, I realize it may sound like I am complaining, but I am just soooo happy that all of that hard work paid off, although I may now have a definitely noticeable larger right arm from all of the muscle crocheting this thing has developed!! This rug now lives in my kitchen, and it is about 3 feet wide, 2.5 feet deep, and is sooooooo sumptuously comfy underfoot!!!! I know it will be a nice change while standing at the sink washing vegetables or doing dishes!!! Even my husband was pleasantly surprised to see the finished product – he wasn’t sure what to think of the idea of crocheting a rug out of rags!!! FUN!!!

Anyway, I have a big day tomorrow, with lots to do:

  • Write my sponsor child
  • Order my sweetie a tie
  • Get to work on time
  • 30 minute walk
  • 1/2 hour bike ride
  • Read 3 chapters of the Bible
  • Read 1 chapter of Success Principles, and do any homework
  • File household paperwork for 20 minutes
  • Blog
  • Schedule 1st meeting of my new Jane Austen book club
  • Create weekly menu
  • Grocery shop for healthy food
  • Work for at least 1/2 an hour on “Million Dollar Idea!”
  • Practice piano for at least minutes
  • Get to work on time
  • Make the bed
  • Make sure to floss
  • Do at least 30 sit ups in one sitting
  • Bring early Christmas gift in to office

Whew!!! I will let you know how I do with all of that tomorrow!!

Halloween Night!!!

Happy Halloween!!

Jason and I have pretty much been having a quiet day at home, which has been very nice!!! My sister-in-law came over and we watched the movie ‘The Proposal’, which we all had fun laughing through! 🙂 Jason made his killer grilled chicken legs – they are really PHENOMENAL!!! Anyone who tries them are always just so surprised, but not me – he really has become a genius in the kitchen and at the grill! God bless that man!!!! 😉

Anyway, I have been keeping myself really busy. I have so many things on life’s to do list and I am just soooo determined to get each and every one of them done! The biggies on the list right now are losing over 100 pounds, flossing and making our bed every day for 365 days straight, take Jason on a surprise trip, reading and following The Success Principles, and I have been taking some big steps to make sure that wealth, true wealth is in my future!!

Tomorrow, after making my bed, flossing my teeth, and going to the gym, Jason and I have to take our laundry over to my sister-in-laws. Our washing machine has been possessed and for some reason has decided to misbehave and spew water all over our laundry room! UGH!!! That is alright, it just gives an excuse to look for a new set, it may take a little while, but it will be worth it!!!

Anyway, I am going to watch some tele with my husband and do some crafting at the same time!!! I am still trying to learn how to knit!!! I am working on a scarf (another thing on my list!!!)

Have a FABULOUS night!!! I will chat again soon!!!
