Time to get to it

So I figured it was finally time to stop putting it off and finally blog about the things I have accomplished thus far. I've decided to break my posts up into a max of 3 list items so as not to overwhelm myself or others who may choose to read this.

#09. Buy another bookcase for the living room:

I was trying and trying to find the perfect bookcase used so that I could avoid paying a lot for it but apprently no one in Halifax wants to part with any good bookcases. So I finally broke down and decided to buy a brand new one. Thankfully, Canadian Tire had one on for $30 and it is pretty much the same one we had already just a different colour. I wish it matched but whatever things can't always be perfect.


#10. Do something about my debts:

I've been debating even posting about this one because the results arn't something I'm very proud of. Jared and I decided to file for bankruptcy. We will be released from it on Christmas Day. Talk about a great Christmas present! Let's just leave it at this: It's not as bad as you would think.


#16. Print more photo's and hang them in hallway:

This was a really fun one to complete and it was really just something that I had been putting off anyways. I went and printed about 30 different photos to frame and hang and got some cheap but nice frames at the art store downtown. I ran into my old friend Dave and ended up having lunch and going to American Apperal with him. SO all in all a good day was had.

A very late update.

I have completed close to 9 more things on my list. I will post individually about them later, I just have been far to busy to be updating all the time. Which makes me sad.

Win something

#34 Win something:

Today I entered one of those "first 100 people" contests and I actually won! I won a Clinique Lash Power Mascara. Value: $18!!!!!!

I'm going to keep trying to win stuff and see how much I can get.

Two things crossed off in one week.

So in the last week I've managed to cross off two of my items on the list. Numbers 22 and 77

#22: File taxes online before deadline:

I didn't personally file them online but I did go to H&R Block and had them prepared for myslef and Jared. I figured since having Charlie, there was a ton of new things I needed to know for tax credits and I'm sure glad I let them handle it. Jared got quite a nice return and mine was small but still at least enough to help.


#77: Send 5 postcards via postcrossing.com:

I completed this one today actually while I was at the post office sending out 1 of 10 of my care packages. I'm really happy about this one because I love sending and recieving mail and post cards are just awesome.

March Goals

So I've decided to try and plot my goals on the calendar so that it will help me get focused.

On deck for March:

- Send a postcard to post secret.
- Organize the kitchen cupboards.
- Send 5 postcards via postcrossing.
- File taxes.
- Buy a baby book and fill it out.

#36

#36. Organize Charlie's room:

I completed #36 a few days ago but just haven't gotten around to posting about it.

It was easier than I thought once I got down to it. There was much less to do than I had originally anticipated.

I do have to say that it did make me a little sad. I went through his sleepers and outfits and packed away the ones that already don't fit him. He grows so fast. He's three months today and hes just huge!

It made me realize that I have to savor every moment because some day I'm going to blink and he'll be going off to high school.

Two Completed!

I've managed to complete two more little tasks from the list. Nothing major but it's two less things non the less!

59 and 87!

#59. Read and complete the Don't Sweat The Small Stuff workbook:

This was really not worth the effort I put into it. I didn't learn anything about myself that I didn't already know and It didn't help me "fix" any of the things I wanted to.

#87. Buy a calendar to plan this project:

I only technically did this. I bought a Hello Kitty calendar today for $2.00 at the grocery store and I liked it better than my current kitchen one so I put the Hello Kitty one in the kitchen and used the kitchen one for the planning. What scares me is that I think that I can get a lot of the items done from now until the end of the year so I think I'll have to try and stretch some of them out. But it is kind of reassuring that if I don't complete them by December, I still have 1.75 years left to get the leftovers done.
