A new month means it’s time for new goals! October was really good, as you’ll see below, and I have some really FUN goals for November.
October 2019 Goals Recap
✅ Complete Virtual Pumpkin 5K: Yes! We walked this on the canal path on October 26th!
✅ Work out seven times: YES! I walked 12 times total! I LOVE walking in my neighborhood in the fall.
❌ Watch two more horror movies: Fail. Only one, which was Hell House LLC III.
✅ Finish watching Married at First Sight: Yes, finally! Finished up the most recent season early in the month. I do have some back seasons to watch at some point, but I’ve seen a few of them.
❌ Read five books: Fail. I finished two and ended the month halfway through two more.
✅ Buy a storage shelf: Found a nice little one for $8 on FB Marketplace and promptly filled it up with Halloween decor.
✅ Get pumpkins: Yep! Got a huge one at Aldi for under $3, then Caleb and I each picked a small one on his class field trip to the farm.
✅ Mail Halloween cards: Finally got to it in the last week of October.
Other Notable Accomplishments
- I dropped off two huge bags of donations to the Goodwill (mostly outgrown baby clothes).
- I took down all my Halloween decor, which is no easy feat as I have TONS. I was able to get all switched over to Thanksgiving.
- I unpacked the rest of the 18 month clothes into Holden’s drawers.
- I started to purge Caleb’s toys in preparation for Christmas and his January birthday. He has WAY too much and his room is a DISASTER! We threw out a big doll house that broke and an old mailbox toy that has seen better days. Love getting rid of some of the bigger items that he no longer uses. I also got rid of a lot of old little junkie ones that he no longer plays with. His room is still a disaster, but it’s a work in progress!
✅ Total Completed: 6 of 8, plus a bunch of other good accomplishments… I’d say it was a great month!
November 2019 Goals
- Do another From My Shelves blog post: One of my yearly goals was to do four of these posts, and I’ve only done two. Eeek! Need to get to this quickly!
- Take down Thanksgiving decorations: this will likely happen the day after!
- Put up Christmas / winter decorations: I have a lot, but I’d like to get it all done before December 1st!
- Get the dog’s hair cut: He looks AWFUL!
- Book the lodge for Caleb’s birthday party: His birthday is in January so I’d like to get this booked after I get my health insurance reimbursement check this month.
- Read five books: My goal was 50 books for the year, and I am slightly behind so I need to step it up.
- Read two Christmas books: I want to read my first two of the season this month!
- Work out 10 times: Either outside walks or treadmill walks. My outside walks are so much better and more motivating, but the weather is turning really cold already. I will miss my nightly evening walks in the fallen leaves.
- Watch five Christmas movies: My DVR is loaded with alllll the Hallmark Christmas movies.
- Clean out the freezer: Time to purge and organize!
One messy step at a time still moves you forward.
