Hello friends, and happy July! I’m currently on vacation from work from June 28 – July 10, which is great in and of itself. However, the reason for that is because we have friends in town from Ireland!
I might not have ever mentioned this on the blog, but when I was 10, my family and I joined the Irish Children’s Program, which brings kids over from Ireland for the summers to get away from the the troubles. 20 years ago, we fell in LOVE with our Irish girl, Adele, and she has visited MANY times since then, including with her boyfriend who is now her husband. This is her first visit back in ten years though, so it’s been such an amazing reunion. What’s even better is that this is my first time meeting her kids and her first time meeting mine, too! If I’m a bit absent from the interwebs for a little while, that’s why. Also, that’s why my July goals will be slim and mostly fun again, just like my June ones were.
Here we go!
June 2019 Goals Recap
❌ Read five books: FAIL. I finished up four, so it was close but no cigar.
❌ Work out 15 times: FAIL. I got 11 workouts in, so it wasn’t bad by any means, but not quite there.
❌ Read two chapters in either Hamilton or Game of Thrones: FAIL. I didn’t start either yet.
❌ Watch Law and Order: The Menendez Murders: Fail. I didn’t get around to it. I borrowed it from the library and had to return it. I will try again soon!
✅ Go out for ice cream: Done. Caleb and I went to Abbotts earlier this month with my parents while Jer stayed home with the baby because he’s kind of dieting. No fun! We also went to Abbotts again this past weekend with the family since our Irish guests are here!
✅ Post another From My Shelves blog: Done! I posted it last week.
✅ Watch at least two movies: Done! I watched more!
- Waitress: I really liked it! I HAD to watch it after seeing the musical earlier in the month and falling in love with it.
- Tag: This one was okay but definitely a one time view.
- Suspiria: we watched the original this month and I wasn’t a fan. Jerry owns both that and the remake and we much prefer the remake!
- Escape Room: pretty good and exciting! A one time view, but I enjoyed it.
✅ Total Completed: 3 of 7. Not a great month, but not a complete wash, either.
July 2019 Goals
- Read six books: trying to step it up again!
- Work out 14 times
- Clean our bedroom: our room is kind of a mess and cluttered with laundry, books, etc. I really need to just clean it up and get it organized. I started today, and hope to get through the rest while I’m off work.
- Cut back on the sweets: sugar and food addiction are real things, y’all. I’ve been eating an excessive amount of desserts, and I am really focused on getting things back under control. I am not cutting them out, but I AM cutting back so I can resume my weight loss.
- Buy more storage totes and organize: I need to organize my decor and just tidy up the house in general. I need more storage totes to do that, though. Hoping I can get some purchased and the house sorted this month!
- Goodwill drop off: Holden moved up a size, so I’ve got a lot to donate to the Goodwill this month.
- Watch season three of 90 Day Fiancé: I am trying to get all caught up!
- Watch two movies with Jerry: yes, I have to set this as a goal because often times, I am too tired and go to bed shortly after the kids do. Making this a goal will motivate me to live a little and watch more movies at night.
⭐ Priority Goal: Storage and organization!
One messy step at a time still moves you forward.
