My goals update

Last week I blogged a list of goals I had for myself.  I thought I'd hold myself accountable by letting you know exactly how I did....

Things I NEED to get done:

• Finish Christmas shopping (okay this is a no-brainer it HAS to be done).
• Obviously this was done....I'll share about our purchases on a later post.
• One or two Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University online classes 
• My husband and I haven't had the time to sit down together - uninterrupted to be able to do this
• Update my Quicken software from the past 3 weeks
• I haven't gotten this done but at least after the past week of getting ready for Christmas I at least got my checkbook balanced.
• Put clean sheets on the guest bed in our attic (my parents arrive on Thursday)
• Successful with this one ;)
• Straighten up the attic a little more (see above for reason)
• I was able to get this done at the same time as putting on the clean sheets.  I organized  a little and at least made the mess that was up there more managable ;)

And the things I WANT to get done:

• Update my Mary Kay inventory for end of year coming up 
• I only marked out some of the above because I'm about half done with this task.  When I was straightening the attic for my parents visit I was able to do some of the inventory....so I'm giving myself 1/2 credit
• Work on our January Budget with my husband 
• see #2 on my NEED list above for this reason
• Plan out some blog ideas for the next couple of weeks 
• I won't put marks through this although I have some ideas written down - of course I wrote these down during Thanksgiving break but they are still valid ideas.
• Workout at least 2 times
• I got 3 workouts in last week and so far 2 this week so YEAH ME! 
• Get our family pictures printed up from our picture session we did in OCTOBER (I never claimed to be quick on some things)
• Now I just have to get them in the frames and up on the walls. 

Well I think I did okay.  I didn't get everything I NEED/WANTed to get done accomplished but for the week before Christmas, a vacation week for my husband (which of course I wanted to enjoy as much as possible), no school for my youngest and getting prepared for my parents visit I think I won't "beat myself" up too much.

At least I have a place to start for my next list of things I NEED/WANT to get done.
