Giddy....

I am Giddy. Cory and I went to the Temple last night. Afterwards, I went to Roberts to get some beads to make a little sumthin'. More on that later. I went to check out the scrapbook clearance area, and found this:




...for 90% OFF!!!!!! That's right. I got an alphabet die set for my Quickutz that usually costs $150 for only FIFTEEN DOLLARS!!!!! I almost got as good a deal as Amber did on her Hoosier! This kind of bargain finding never, ever happens to me. I was seriously giggling through the whole store. My husband thought I was nuts. If you have a Roberts, you should go see if they have 90% off, too. They had a bunch of stuff. So fun!


And now, back to "For Just One Week" goal setting. I don't even remember my goals from 2 weeks ago, but I don't want to go back and look, because I know I failed. And I skipped last week, just because. But now I'm back and ready to start over. I've decided to change things and do them my own way. I'm going to set weekly goals, and some of them may end up being extended to hopefully turn them into habits. We'll see. And my goals may seem pathetic or silly to some, but at least I'm trying to better myself, right?
So, 2 goals this week. Number 1... I am a sad, sad housekeeper. And it seems my bedroom is always neglected. It's always last on the list of things to do, and since I can never get everything done, my bedroom suffers. So, this week, I am going to get my room clean. "A whole week to clean your room?" you might ask. Yeah, it's that bad. If I give myself a whole week to get it clean, maybe I won't get overwhelmed. Number 2... I need to start taking better care of myself. Again, so much I need to change, that I get overwhelmed. I'm going to start with something easy. Drinking water. And to make things interesting, no pop at all next week. I am going to drink at least the reccomended amount of 6 glasses of water daily. Hopefully I can make it 8. I am prepared to pee. Wish me luck. Oh, and for more info on "For Just One Week", go visit the Ice Cream Lady, here.

Yay, you're back! When I set one of my weekly goals to keep my room clean everyday it took me three days to even get it clean in order to "keep" it clean. =) So you are smart to focus on just getting it clean.

Water seems to be a favorite goal with others these past couple of weeks. My favorite way to remember to drink my water is to set a small cup by the sink, and before every meal and snack I fill my cup and drink real quick. It also keeps me from eating too much because my stomach is already full of water.

Good luck!
