Bad Kid!

Time to play catch up. I'm going to have to post once a week for awhile to get back on track. I need to do this with a few of my goals . . .

I've completed my concert goal, with an extra even! Went to see Sloan and then also saw Weezer/The Tragically Hip on Canada Day. So I haven't fallen completely behind on everything. I even made it to Wonderland finally and went on a bunch of rides, so now I'm making progress on that goal too.

Fitness goals continue to be the hardest ones to accomplish. Other goals seem to fall into place sometimes without thinking about it, but the fitness ones require me to put in more effort. And that effort has been seriously lacking! I do have some new motivation though - bridesmaid dress. I bought shoes to go with my dress, and when I went to try them on together, things were more than a little snug. If I want to be comfortable on the big day, there needs to be a lot more effort. So I'm going for a run tomorrow morning! Hopefully that will be the start of getting back on track.

I was motivated to crochet recently, so I used up the old squares and made an afghan. The ends still need to be sewn in though, so I'm not marking it as complete until that happens. If I don't, the ends will never get sewn in. Sewing them got put aside for a surprise sewing project (baby blanket! I'm an aunt!), but now that I am done that I will get to the ends. It will be nice to craft in front of the TV again. I don't even bother trying with the sewing machine. It's too loud and requires too much focus. I'd get too caught up in the TV show and forget about sewing.

Recently I've also been thinking more seriously about buying a place instead of renting, so I've been earmarking funds for a purchase - another goal! When wedding things are over, I'm considering doing my third buy nothing month, to help me save a bit more. Every little bit counts. The more I have saved up, the better my options are. I think the hardest part will be deciding on where I want to live, not the saving part. Such a big decision!
