November Goals

I feel like I actually just posted this month’s goals last week or something. What in the world! So let’s go back and see how I did this month…

OCTOBER GOALS:

1. Internship.
   1. I talked with my neighbor (the recruiter) and she said nobody that she knew of needed an intern for the Spring, but she said she might need someone in the summer. I also got in touch with another person that may be needing an intern. So i’m on the right track! I’m glad i’ve got it figured out though so I know what my Spring is going to look like.
2. Christmas gifts.
   1. I’m getting presents, creating ideas, and love knowing that i’m becoming less stressed for the holidays. I wish I could show you, but some of those people read this blog.
3.  Organize my closet.
   1. I finally organized my closet after months of being in the new room! I posted about Closet Organization HERE, so check it out!! Many of you liked it.
4. Make Angel Food Cake on Angel Food Cake day.
   1. I did not make Angel Food Cake on this day because we had tons of cookies just made, no-bakes were being prepared, and other treats and sweets for fall. So we enjoyed those instead of AGF! I’m sure that will be dessert along with Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving.
5. Finish Revenge and start a book.
   1. I finally finished revenge, and i’m going to start my book as soon as it comes to me. I keep seeing things about Lisa Terkeurst and decided I needed to start reading her books. But in the meantime i’m going to start on my momma’s favorite artist, Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
6. School stuff.
   1. I finished my government class with an A. Prasie Jesus from whom all blessings flow! Now, I just want to see that GPA boost. I contacted the financial aid office at school and learned more about scholarships, so I know what I need to do. SOS, please send money. And lots of it.

November Goals:

1. Fall back an hour.
   1. One of the many reasons that I love fall is because we get to fall back and get an extra hour of sleep one night. I like my sleep and I intend on enjoying that extra hour.
2. Get all Christmas decor up.
   1. Most of the time we have our Christmas decor up, but we haven’t yet this year. My mom and I have the goal of getting all of our decor up after Halloween. All the lights on outside, but obviously don’t light them, and all the fall and Christmas decoration inside the house.
3. Organize my laptop.
   1. My laptop is a hot mess. Everything is everywhere and I can never find my pictures and documents. I want it to be more organized and easier for me to access everything.
4. Do something for the troops for Veterans day.
   1. My little community service project for this month is doing something for the troops. I wanted to see if there was a way to “adopt” a troop or something of that nature, even if it’s something simple. I just want to make someone’s day. Also…let me know if you have any ideas of things to do for troops!!
5. Enjoy an Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte in a scarf and boots.
   1. I am sure that it will be getting super cold this month and I want to be wrapped up in a scarf and some boots sippin’ on a Starbucks, because that’s just what fall calls for. And to answer your question…yes I am the weirdo drinking iced coffee in fall/winter.

That’s it for this month. It’s pretty simple, but i’m ready for it!

Oh, and ONE more thing before we go. I got an e-mail yesterday telling me that there are Stella and Dot items for as much as 60% off. That’s HUGE! So check it out because it ends today at 9 PM!!!!

October Goals

I know October started a week ago, but I had so much other fun stuff planned last week, that this was the first available day I had to post my monthly goals. This is my recap of September followed by what’s coming for October!!

SEPTEMBER’S GOALS:

1. Get to Church EVERY Sunday and spend the Lord’s Sabbath day resting. 
   1. While I have not physically been at Church every Sunday, I sit in my room usually before bed now and follow along with the sermon series online and take my notes then. While I would have liked to physically have been there, sometimes it just isn’t able to happen. I also changed my availability on Sundays to where they can’t schedule me, and honestly…this.is.the.best.thing.ever. If you work anywhere and can change your availability to no Sunday shifts, do it for yourself! Give yourself a day of rest. You deserve it!
2. Make 5 new recipes.
   1. Andrea’s Enchiladas
   2. Andrea’s Pulled Pork
   3. Shay’s Chicken Fajita Soup
   4. Morgan’s Olaf Birthday cake
   5. Costco’s Sun-dried Tomato Tilapia
3. Work out 3-4 times/week.
   1. Check, yes! If i’m not running, i’m walking, going to Yoga, following along with my pilates video, etc. As long as i’m doing some kind of work out, I feel good. And I have made it 3-4 times/week.
4. Establish a routine, whether it be a weekly/daily/monthly routine.
   1. I posted about my morning routine a couple weeks ago, so check it out! My Sunday mornings have become routine. My dad and I wake up at 7:00am and drive over to the golf course to practice about 2 hours. We get Starbucks on the way there and we get home before everyone else wakes up. Then, i’ll usually head over to yoga and Church afterwards. I looove Sunday mornings!
5. Buy myself 2 new things because I didn’t do it last month.
   1. I bought myself a new gold bracelet, some fall clothes, and scarves, and entry into the Susan G. Komen race for the cure. And i’m currently waiting on some other goodies to show you 🙂
6. Grow my blog!
   1. In September, I had 861 views. This makes me way way waaaay excited! I appreciate y’all for making this such a fun thing for me to do, and to look forward to. I also gained 9 followers. And had 12 comment, which are my FAVORITE thing to see.. Along with many non-blogging friends text me and tell me they love my blog. I can’t tell you how happy this makes me! Please keep on and share with people you know!
7. Get 3/9 of my Christmas presents. And a birthday present for mom!
   1. I decided to underline this, because I didn’t necessarily GET all my gifts, however I did come up with ideas. I just have to turn them into gifts. But i’m just happy I started somewhere.

OCTOBER GOALS:

1. Internship.
   1. I’m lucky enough to have an HR recruiter as my neighbor. I previously have talked with her and she said she might know someone in need of an intern. So, I want to get in contact with her and find an internship for the spring. Or possibly the summer.
2. Christmas gifts.
   1. Turn my ideas into tangible presents that I need to wrap. AKA get my presents. I want to have at least half my shopping done by the end of this month. Because after Halloween Thanksgiving, finals, mom’s birthday and Christmas come SUPER FAST.
3.  Organize my closet.
   1. My closet is all over the place! Since my brother and I switched rooms, I haven’t organized my clothes yet and i’ve got t-shirts with dresses and all that. It drives the OCD in me crazy, so i’m deeming this month the perfect time!
4. Make Angel Food Cake on Angel Food Cake day.
   1. My calendar tells me that Friday (October 10) is A.F.C day, so of course i’m going to celebrate it!
5. Finish Revenge and start a book.
   1. This is more about giving myself some down time, but I want to finish season 3 of Revenge on Netflix and get started with another book. I finished Sweet Salt Airand I LOVED IT!!! So did my mom! If you like the beach, blogging, love stories, heart break, you will like it to. For $10!
6. School stuff.
   1. I finish my government class next week…it’s an express class and then i’ll start History the week after, but I want an A in that class so my transfer GPA will be boosted. Along with that, I need to apply for scholarships to pay for classes next semester.

This is all i’ve got for this month. I think it’s a pretty big/time consuming list, but I think that writing it down will help me accomplish these goals.

What are your goals for this month?
Do we have any of the same ones?
