Day 5 - Lazy Sunday!!

Hey there Friends,

Not a whole lot to post or update!!! Been fighting a Summer cold - so just took it easy today - it was a Jammie Day - didnt leave the house!!! Just finished my Dinner, Dessert and will take another dose of the cold meds... Hitting the Sack early!!

I did a little bit of paint touch up - re painted the window sil again!! The room is ready for the Carpet!! It will be installed tomorrow!! WOOHOO!! Then I can start the put it all back together project!!

Amazing what a couple of days of being off my game can do to a Month of progress!!! Feels like GIANT steps backwards -- but I think it is just the fact I havent felt good.... Tomorrow is another day - and we will MOVE ON!!

Morning Habits: Water and Oxycise - Read my Bible Verses!!

Morning MIT's:
1. Get trash out to the dumpster
2. Work at 7 AM
3. Check tracking to see where my Camera is
4. Come home to supervise the Carpet Install

I hope that everyone enjoyed your Holiday weekend - Hugs and LOVE, M

Good Night Day 4 Rd 2!!

Hope that everyone had a GREAT 4th of July!!

I went to Michael's and found something that will work to contain my MANY Computer Cords - Will take pics once it is all set up!!!

I opted to stay home - just ate some junk food - lots of water, chased with NyQuil. Not feeling REAL Bad, but just wasn't up to being in a social situation...

Sweet Dreams!!

Hope Trey is having the time of his LIFE at the Daytona 500 !! Can't wait to hear all about it..

XOXO, M

God Bless America - Happy 4th of JULY!!

First let me say - Oxycise is hard to do with only one nostril working.. LOL BUT, I did it!!!

Read Proverbs Chapters 8 - 14 today - good message on WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE... This verse hit me - and I think it is a sign in my working towards FORGIVENESS and PROGRESS!!

From Proverbs Chapter 11:

The Lord detests men of perverse heart but he delights in those whose are blameless. Be sure of this: the wicked will not go unpunished, but hose who are righteous will go FREE!!!

Today's MIT's:

1. Going to Michael's to see if they have unfinished Boxes - I have an idea on Cord Management for my NEW and IMPROVED Office - I cant stand the cords everywhere... So I am working on something - stay tuned

2. Relax - and Feel better!!

I hope to feel good enough to go to the party this afternoon - I shall see - not pushing it!!

Hope that everyone has a HAPPY and SAFE 4th - with whatever you choose to do.. XOXO

My 30 Day Progress Report!!!

First off let me say .. I have a VERY Bad habit of not completing tasks, goals and just about everything in my LIFE - to COMPLETION!! So that would have to be my biggest achievement for this FRIST 30's of my NEW way of LIFE!!

What I accomplished in the Past 30 Days:

1. Water and Oxycised Daily
2. Daily Chores - little bits daily/Vacuumed/Bathroom/Floors/Kitchen/Laundry
3. Organized Shoes/ And they get put in the closet every night
4. Bed Made every day
5. Hand wrote my Long Term Goals, My Mission, My Values - sent to Shell and My Sis
6. Blogged/ Journaled 2 times DAILY!
7. Cut back on my FB, Twitter and Forum time (still a work in progress) LOL
8. Garage is down to what is being KEPT!
9. Posted and sold some items on Craig's List - 3 or 4 boxes donated to Hospice!
10. Eating Dinner on my China at the Dining room table - with just Music/Quiet time
11. I Refuse to drink Alone or use it as a coping tool-haven't had a drink in 33 days
12. My Dining room table is NOT a catch all any more
13. Have a In box for all bills/mail is taken care of before it get inside the House
14. Started on office - actually will paint this weekend -bought Carpet today and found my new desk/bookcase and TV Stand
15. Make some headway in doing things for MYSELF and not for or because of Others.
16. Work is much better - I only touch things ONCE and DONE - I have a Daily ToDoList (which my boss asked me today for HIS OWN Copy - so he can work from a list too) I may be rubbing off on him.. LOL)

My Habit for the NEXT 30 days will be to read the Bible daily - I will be asking for help from my friends to make suggestions - your FAVORITES!!! I want this to become a HABIT!! I will continue with my Oxycise and water in the mornings...

My MIT's will be more working towards my LONG Term Goal of paying off my DEBTS and get to where I only have my Mortgage and Monthly expenses. Will take 18-24 Months - but this will involve research, reading, budgets and earning extra money.

Once again - thank you to my Friends and Family for your Love and Support!! I have a long way to go - but I do feel as if I have made some good steps these past 30 days.. Thanks for following along ... LOVE YOU ALL, M

PS. This is what I am thinking for the office... Back wall will be a coffee color and the others more an off white.. I'm getting excited (all is being paid for with $$ that I have gotten from the sale of TREASURES) LOL

DAY #30!!!!!!!!!!! I did it...

Good Morning Friends,

First of all THANK you for your support, Friendship and LOVE along the way!!! I could not of done it with out you all..

Thinking back - I can never seem to just be HAPPY I don't hear TRUMPETS playing!! I will work on my list of accomplishments this past 30 days today - and post tonight!! I just might be amazed at how far I have come... It is time to work on my GOALS/PROJECTS look at the list I made 2 weeks ago and FIGURE out what if anything I have done to get there!!

This Morning - I got out of bed a little later than usual - Needed more SLEEP!!! Did my Water and That habit is here to STAY!! :-)

Got a lot accomplished last night:
1. Have a Work ticket number for my Camera Repair
2. Have one more corner cleared out in the office
3. All Garbage to the dumpster (couple of TRIPS)

When De-cluttering I found some old CD's with pictures, Video from the PAST... I wanted to share this video I made of my 40 Birthday party in the It is special, because my Dad was in it!! :-) I miss him EVERY SINGLE DAY!! It made me SMILE!! And looking at how 10 years can change people - my little Trey is a young Man now.. Kasi and Perry and young adults.. It is just CRAZY -- Heather is a Mother of 3 - Don't let time slip away - make sure those special people in your life - KNOW IT!!!



Hugs and Love, M
