Ha Ha! Twice in One Day!

You'll never beg me for a post again! Since I was on the internet (and at the moment I can get a signal) I decided to go over THE LIST to see what I needed to do in the next month + 1/2 to meet my goals. As all things with me go, it took me a while to get there... I spent a lot of time reading past posts and laughing and just being genuinely glad that I've been blogging. It is so not a waste of time... I finally made it. Here's how things are standing:

1. In some areas I am doing better at doing less (like in the cleaning area...he he) I have really made an honest effort at simplifying and would be doing less if I hadn't joined the PTA. Again, stupid.
2. Attend the temple monthly... um, no. But I did get my recommend renewed on Sunday. I had no idea it had expired... in January!
3. Not so great at studying diligently. I read with the kids every night and for those of you who think I'm a little nuts (and those of you in book club), I did find one of the scriptures about "disaparating" (Harry Potter)/"turning yourself into the wind" (The Alchemist). It's Helaman 10:16-17. I'll see if I can find the others.
4. Pray earnestly. Well, at least we pray.
5. Serve willingly. I'm serving.
6. Rejoice. Hmm... maybe I should read the Conference addresses again.
7. Ponder daily the question, "Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch our family today?”
8. Write it down . I write lots of thing down... I just can't find them again later!
9. Don’t leave for tomorrow what you can do today . I'm very good at this. When I don't do something I know full well it's not for tomorrow.
10. Embrace being a nurturer. Working on it.
11. Get rid of my clutter. Working on it.
12. Paint a picture. Did it.
13. Frame it. No frame.
14. Hang it in my house. Done. It's stuck in the trim of my cupboards. Maybe you've seen it?
15. Take a photograph every day. Close...
16. Display pictures of my family. I have some. Just need to get them up.
17. Re-paint the upstairs bathroom. Next weekend?
18. exercise regularly. YES!
19. Take the boys to Sea World. Going next month.
20. Go to a Farmer’s Market. Done. I was a little disappionted... maybe someplace other than here would be better.
21. Make a collage/scrapbook page per week yeah, so I don't scrapbook right now... instead I'm going to donate 12" to Locks of Love.
22. Weekly Yoga class. I went back to yoga last night after a long break.
23. Perfect a whole wheat pancake recipe. We had them this morning. They are so good that you don't have to put anything on them.
24. Make my own Pesto. Done.
25. Put up all of my Christmas trees before Dec. 1 ...enjoyed the fact that I got a tree up at all.
26. Get our year supply caught up. We have really been working on that. I'll have to see where we're at and what we need to do to finish it.
27. Make out at the lake. Make out period... I seem to lack the focus for that since the naughtiness was taken out of the equation.
28. Chalk paint on the sidewalk with the boys. It's starting to be cool enough to do this.
29. Write down the stories of my life. That is what I am doing here.
30. Lose 31 lbs. keep... baby weight under 31 lbs. ... I guess I succeeded at this. I've got that much to lose again after losing nearly 30 with BFL. Now I get to start where I started before. I can do it though.
31. Enjoy the journey. Yes, definitely yes.

And now I will get off the computer and pay some attention to the girl who has morphed her cute baby nasal cry into a high pitched scream this week. It really irritates me.
