Plans for the week...

So I am tackling the list hard this week, at least that is the plan. Being the queen of procrastination, I thought if I went ahead and blogged about my plans then I would be more inclined to follow through, so here they are...



#3-To read a new book every week...I have been reading Harry Potter for two weeks now, so my mission tomorrow is to go to Books-A-Million, get a cup of coffee and sit outside and finish the darn thing already. I have a dentist appointment at 11:00am, so i figured that if I went around 9, I should have plenty of time to finish it before my appointment....at least that is the plan!



#28-To keep a dream journal...I don't always remember my dreams, but when I do they are usually very strange and often funny, so I have decided to start a dream journal. This way I can write my dreams down as soon as I wake up, when the details are fresh and I can remember the most. Who knows, maybe I will have them analyzed one day and maybe finally get the explanation of my craziness...hee hee!!!


#37-To volunteer...I have signed up to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity via the Internet. My goal for this week is to call or go by there restore and get some more information and sign up for my first project...I am very excited about this one, but this is the one that scares me the most! I am always scared and nervous about the unknown, so I am really hoping to conquer this one!



#44-To start Recycling...I did some research last week and found that there is no recycling center in Tuscaloosa!!!! How absurd and sad is that! This town is too big and has way to many people living in it for recycling opportunities not to be readily available to anyone and everyone who is willing!!! No wonder the earth is in the shape it's in!!! Whilst complaining about this to my friends at girls night last week, Hilary told me that there is a place behind TMS where you can drop of your recyclable items. She wasn't sure of the details as far as what they take, when they pick up, who sponsors it, ect., so my goal this week is to find out the answers to these questions and get my bins necessary for the recyclable goods, and begin recycling!!!



#52-To be a vegetarian for a week...I often think that I should be a vegetarian because for one, I think that it would force me to think about and plan my meals ahead of time, therefore hopefully causing me to make wealthier decisions about what I eat. Also, I have read quite a few articles on the abuse and mistreatment of animals in the raising and killing of animals for food and have decided that even if a quarter of what I have read is actually true, then I would rather not be a part of that and definitely do not want to support it any longer. Having said all of this, I must say that I love food and I LOVE eating, so this task, with all of my convictions pushing me to do it, will be very difficult for me! The goal is to make this a lifestyle change, just one week at a time; I do better with short term goals!





#4 and #43-To paint more and to bake more...

I love cooking and baking, especially birthday cakes (it's the decorating that I really enjoy) and want to do it more so that I can get better at it (practice makes perfect). This week I made Jackson's birthday cake (the one that he got to dig into) and all in all I think it was a success! Jackson seemed to enjoy digging into it, literally!!!




I also love painting, keep in mind that I am not that good at it, but I enjoy it so much that I have decided to keep up with it and who knows, maybe I'll get better, I'll let you be the judge.
