I have a confession

I am a PROCRASTINATOR. It's bad. I'm even doing it right now. I'm supposed to be cleaning my house. Instead I am writing this..playing on Facebook, and trying to redo my iTunes. Anything I can to get myself distracted from the original plan for the day. I did this all the time in school...that's why I always had to pull all nighters for papers and such. You would have thought I would have learned my lesson then. But no. Help!

Ok, HOPEFULLY this month will be better. Actually, it will be. I am determined! And, I will be keeping you all up-to-date with how everything is going, and what we are up to. I can do it, I know I can!

I am ashamed..

I really, really had good intentions with my January goals. Unfortunately, the end of the month came a LOT quicker than I had expected. There's a lot of not done things on my list, but there are a few that were accomplished. Let's take a look:

FUN:
* Read 1 book a week:
My Horizontal Life
Are You There Vodka, It's Me, Chelsea
Pratical Demonkeeping
Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies

Sorta failed...the only book I actually finished was My Horizontal Life by Cheslea Handler. Bet ya can't guess what's on the list for February!?!

* Celebrate my 25th Birthday CHECK! And I posted a blog of it.
* Have lunch/dinner with 3 friends. I only had dinner with 1 friend, Ashley. Tried to plan outings with others, but schedules didn't work out.
*Have couples night at our house. FAIL

DIY/CRAFTING:

* Everything in this category was an epic FAIL. I won't even bother to bore you or myself with the intentions of crafting.

HOME:

*Oh man...the only thing I got done was putting away Christmas stuff...and that's still only 3/4's the way done...but that's due to the fact that my mom still hasn't picked up all the stuff I borrowed from her..so that's all still sitting in my dining room. The rest of my ideas of a clean house were a FAIL. Again, I won't go into detail.

COOKING:

* Meal plan FAIL
* 1 new recipe CHECK. Josh and I tried a new flavor on our ribs. It wasn't a recipe as much as a concoction, but we'll still check it off.
* 1 new dessert. FAIL. No tasty sweets for us this month.

HEALTH:

* Use Wii fit everyday. Does 4 times in a month count?? Better than none, right?
* Drink 4 glasses of water a day. CHECK


WEDDING:

* Find venue/venues We have started looking at venues. We looked at one last week, and another today. Still getting prices together and seeing what we like, so no decisions made.
*Decide on Bridal Party FAIL.
*First draft of guest list I have my list together, and my mom got me there list. Still waiting on the O'Dell side of the list, and then the friends Josh wants to invite.
*Make timeline of when things need to get done CHECK!

So, that was my month. A lot of some-what things done. But definitely more red than I'd like to see. One things we did get done that wasn't on the list is that we are 98% sure of what we want our invites to look like and such. So that was exciting. Hopefully I can get more checked off things in February. And I plan to update more. I got high hopes for this month.
