Ugh. Talk about a gross Monday. It’s pouring down rain & freezing cold… and, it’s a Monday. All of that combined makes me want to be in bed in comfy sweats with a good book & a cup of coffee. Amen? Amen.
This past weekend was MUCH needed. Matt and I didn’t have any definite plans on Friday night or all day Saturday… it was wonderful! I’ve found that personally, I need to make sure I have one weekend a month like that… a Saturday to just tackle my to-do list & do things around the house. And, it’s obviously really great for our marriage, too! We watched 2 Harry Potter movies, made sugar cookies, did laundry, cleaned the bathrooms, and the just got things done. I went to bed Saturday feeling incredibly accomplished… tired, but accomplished. And I love that feeling.
Since it’s the first blogging day of February, I thought I’d recap my January goals & tell you what I’m hoping to do in February. Here we go…
In case you forgot, for every month in 2014 I’m going to post my 5 personal goals for the month. (I chose five because it’s not too much to be overwhelming, not too little to not be enough of a challenge; and I just like odd numbers. Yes, I know that’s weird.)
JANUARY GOALS & A QUICK RECAP
-
Start training for the 10K in March. As in, go run 3-4 days a week … HA! I really, really need to get on this. Oops!
-
Read Seven … I didn’t finish it, but I’ve started. It’s really, really good! I’ll be sharing more during this weeks #contentmentchallenge post.
-
Clear the clutter in our basement. It’s like a vortex that sucks every random thing into it … YAY we did this!!! We took a TON of stuff to Goodwill and Matt’s going to build me a few shelves over his spring break. I can’t wait!
-
Finish filling out my Powersheets. Preferably this weekend … Yes & No. I didn’t get them done enough in January… so I’m making Feb my “month one”; I think I needed the first month to really process through it, so I’m okay with “officially” starting in Feb.
-
Listen to worship music on my Pandora, instead of my Lady A or Colbie Caillat stations. Not that those are bad stations, but filling my head with Jesus is way better … Yes. I’ve been mixing up my Pandora stations & loving it 🙂
FEBRUARY GOALS
- START training for the 10K. I’m serious, Kat. That race is going to kill you if you don’t start running.
- Finish Seven. (Do you see a pattern in my goals?! Ha. I promise I am adding a few new ones, too!)
- Have a Social Media Free weekend. (I was supposed to do this once a month in ’14, but I completely forgot last month… oops!)
- Clean out my closet. I have a closet FULL of clothes, yet I tend to wear the same things over & over. I need to wear other options, and clear out the stuff I’m just hoarding.
- Cook more. Matt does the majority of the cooking, but now that he’s started a full-time job we’re BOTH going to come home tired & hungry!! I need to pull my weight & not expect him to always make dinner so I can do things for DSE. I’m a wife first, then a business owner.
Do you have February Goals? I’d love to hear them!!
(And, because I’m just so stinkin’ excited to see the rest of these pics… here’ a sneak peak from my session with Bulloss Photography… I got to hang out with Jess & Will yesterday while she worked her magic behind the lens on a few of my floral arrangements. On a dreary day like today, this picture reminds me that spring is right around the corner!)
xo! kat
