Sunday Best and Goals Revisited

Linking up with Fine Linen and Purple(What I Wore Sunday) and Plane Pretty.

Dress:  Francesca's Collection- $44  Shoes:  Target-$25
Finding out I am coordinating with my niece:  Priceless

*Update: and here we are!

Time to revisit my goals.

Goal #1:  My closet.  It is still in pretty good shape, I have kept up on the ironing and washing, but I have a couple baskets to fold and put away today.  I also need to put my shoes back in neatly.  

Goal #2:  Be on time.  Ummmmm, no.  But I have been on time to work and Sol has been on time to school and we all have been on time to church for almost every Sunday.  I did lapse last week and came in football holding Wilson with diaper bag dangling and 2 sons dragging right behind.  I disdain Sundays without the husband- still, no excuse.  

Goal #3:  Organize the boys' desk.  After a little time shopping around, I decided I wanted something custom.  My brother-in-law dropped off this little beauty.  It needs finished or painted.  I think I will do 

chevron in dark teal and maybe highlight in light gray?  Masculine without being ugly?  

Goal #4:  Less time online.  Yes, then no, but now yes!  

This week, I set concrete limits and am sticking to them.  

They are:  

Check email 5 times a day, no more.  (It beats my 19 times a day from before!)

No Facebook, articles, or blogs until after the boys are in bed- my surfing past bedtime cannot exceed 1 hour.  

I can get online with a specific purpose (eg: find a recipe, look up directions, send an email. . .) but not to surf.  

I can get online to watch a show on Hulu, IF it does not inhibit my productivity- so, I have to save it for laundry time.  

I also allowed myself a little dispensation to post today (with no real reason, I just really wanted to).  

I will go back to my regular schedule once posted.  So, yes, because I have really stuck with this this week and I have done several things around here that needed done thanks to purpose-driven internet only.  Most nights, I didn't even use my hour at the end of the day- I just did other things or went to bed earlier.

NEW GOAL TIME!

Goal #5:  Run 5 times a week or more.  I'm not designating an amount of time or distance, I'm just making myself get out and get active.  I ran yesterday and determined 2 things:  I am out of shape.  I need to stretch more to keep my ankle from cramping.  

I am NOT a runner but need to do something along the lines of fitness.  I want to run in a 5K at my church next month, which is pretty ambitious considering I get a little winded jogging about 200 meters down the street.  I hope to go today after the sun sets.  It is blazing hot out there now!
