Confessions: 8/26

Good Morning Everyone, 


Time for Confessions! 


I confess that my insomnia lately is killing me. I go to bed early, exhausted, but then I lay there with my mind going like a mile a minute until it is like 3am. I have no idea why this happens but it happens for several nights a month. I need it to stop like now...

I confess that stress may be playing a part in the insomnia. Being an adult is the worst thing ever. Also apparently it costs $1400 dollars for super glue at the emergency room. Seriously eff being an adult and everything that comes with it. 

I confess that something is up with my blogger right now and it is making this post a beast to write/edit/add photos too. All the RAGE.

I confess that every few months or so I get the need to DO something. It happens when the need to be creative has been bottled up to long and suddenly I have to make something. Sometimes I write, sometimes I do crafts, yesterday I made Kyra a hat! 
 

I confess that it felt amazing to earn my Proclaimer Badge on my VivoFit. That's for hitting 500 miles walked. I was so scared back in April that I wouldn't reach it by Christmas and look here it is August and I'm there! I seriously love my VivoFit! 

 I confess when I get notifications in my email that one of my library holds becomes available I literally squee with joy. Give me ALL THE BOOKS. 

That's it for me today. Be sure to join the linkup. Happy Humpday.

Creativity....In Progress

Good Morning Everyone,

It's time for the Choose Your Adventure Linkup!!

February's Goal: CREATE

 1) I want to create a costume for Comic Con in March.---Well....not so much. Kyra has a costume that I picked out and my mom created that I will reveal after Comic Con next week...but as for me? Yeah...nada. It has a lot more to do with my own self esteem issues than actual creativity...but still a big NO on this one.

2) One piece of artwork for my home--This is actually an "in progress" one. I have the piece I am working on...it just isn't done yet because it has been too cold to really work on painting it. So I only get half a point on this one.

3) Does more work on the novel count? I'm counting it. ---Yes! Major edits were done but still not out of the editing phase yet. I have a whole section that still needs a rewrite in order to fix some plot holes. Half a point again.

March's Goal:RELATIONSHIPS

1) A half hour to hour of stretching/fitness/wellness- Relationship with Self and with Kyra (she's been doing my morning stretches with me! So Cute!)

2) Plan get together with friends for the upcoming months--Friendships

3) One date night just Robert and Me- Husband and Self 

4) Bedtime Story Time- Kyra, Self, Husband 


I'm looking forward to March's goals! I actually am working on a post about Number 1 on the list as it is something that Kyra and I just started! That post should be up on Monday or Tuesday! 

So how did you do last month? Were you Super Creative or kind of give it a miss like me? Be sure to share in comments! 

Happy Thursday Everyone! 

P.S.- A BIG Thank You to all those that wished my Mum a happy birthday the other day! She had a really great day!

Choose Your Own Adventure Linkup: Complete and Create

Good Morning Everyone,

Today we share our progress on our goals from last month and find out what our goals for this month will be! Let's get started:

January's Goal: COMPLETE

So here are my "Complete" Goals: 

1) Complete the entire month using the cleaning schedule I've started this week.---Great Success! I love my cleaning schedule and I'm not sure how I ever lived without one! Not only have I stuck to it but I have gotten ADDITIONAL things done because of it! I have so much more time simply because it is managed better!

2) Complete all tax prep--Not only is the prep done but the whole thing is done! Taxes are filed and sent! HUGE weight lifted!

3) Complete edits on my finished first draft of Book One---Well Edits are not completely done....I have some serious work to do as I found some major plot holes and actually want to rewrite an entire section BUT I did do a huge amount of editing and wouldn't have found these issues without it...so I count it as a Win. 

 February's Goal: CREATE

 1) I want to create a costume for Comic Con in March. I am going all three days and one of them I want to Cosplay. Wish I could sew...

2) One piece of artwork for my home

3) Does more work on the novel count? I'm counting it. 


How did you do on your goals last month? Are you joining again this month? What are your "Create" goals? Be sure to join the linkup and let us all know! 

Happy Thursday Everyone!
