Ok, this is a new one for me and it doesn't involve anything specific, like reading or crafts or anything like that.  This could be anything so let me get started.

What went well, for you, this past week?

I stayed on my eating plan and I am keeping up with the household chores fairly well.

What didn't go so well?

I am having a bit of difficulty with my noontime main meal.  I keep forgetting to take out meat to defrost.  I prefer eating our main meal at noon -- I feel better -- but getting my head around it has been a challenge.

What can you do differently in the week to come?

I think maybe some meal planning is in order, taking out meat to defrost in the refrigerator a day or two ahead is a reasonable idea.  

List your top 3 priorities for the next 7 days.

Ha! To defrost meat.

To keep up with the housework.  We cleaned house on Saturday and it would be helpful to do a bit in between so I don't have it all to do next Saturday.

To exercise.  I really need to exercise.  I would like to walk outside but we have an Ozone day today so I won't be doing that but I can walk inside.  I have the equipment and the need -- just not much motivation.

So, there you go.  This wasn't the most exciting meme in the world but it gave me a little focus.  So, for your viewing pleasure ....

 

Fun---ny! Funny! For a little humor in a particularly tense campaign/election go to http://politsk.blogspot.com. Find Sarah Palin's Baby Name Generator, follow the instructions to find out what YOUR name would be if your were Sarah Palin's child!

If I use my maiden name then I would be Froth Moonshine Palin.

If I use my married name then I am Pick Beef Palin.

Hmmm......funny yet ever so slightly disturbing!

Have fun! Cheers!

Friday Fill-Ins



1. If I could be a fly on the wall, I would be getting the $^&# outta Dodge because A would be coming after me with something to relieve me of the burden of life.

If time were in a bottle -- well, I have to agree with JLSHall here -- big fan of Jim Croce but the whole time in a bottle thing makes you get into the "is the bottle half full or half empty" thing and then all of a sudden you are in a deep psychological/philosophical debate and the song is over and well .... time isn't in a bottle anyway so who cares.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I am looking forward to pizza and a movie with A, tomorrow my plans include seeing Nathan and Sunday, I want to go buy a Wii!

"There are places I'll remember,
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all"
