Day 24- Pics

I spent the last little bit playing catch up with my pictures.

Day 24

Today is Tuesday. I feel like I have no concept of days anymore. I've been doing good keeping up with the list. I need to focus on the photos before I get too behind. I've already cooked, worked out, and played at the dog park. Not much left for today's focus. Otherwise, not much to say on this dreary day.

Day 20

I can't believe it's day 20. Sometimes I feel like it's been a lot longer and sometimes I feel like the 20 days have flown by. Not too much to update since Sunday. I have been working on a lot of list-like things today, so I wanted to share it while it was fresh in my mind.

I made a birthday card for my dad. It's not super fancy or anything, but he'll like it.

I am feeling more confident about crossing the z off the list, even though I haven't been driving it lately since the 240 got fixed.

I took the dog to the park on Wednesday, and I've went to the gym twice this week so far.

Last night I cooked an amazing Hawaiian ham from my cookbook after planning a week of meals and going to the grocery store on Tuesday using my re-usable shopping bags!

I went to staples and got a lot of printing done. I had the pictures printed so I can start on my November craft project. I'm waiting on them to dry right now and see how the first three turned out before continuing the project.

Most importantly, I finished my 5 people letters. For the most part, they came pretty easily. I had issues with one. It took me a while to get my words into place because I kept getting so worked up. But it after leaving and coming back to the letter, it came into sense a lot quicker. I'm glad I did it, and I'm going to send them. Four of them definitely but in one, I wasn't so nice. I couldn't be nice because it wouldn't have worked in my best interest if I sugar coated my thoughts. I think it was worth it though, taking the time to write and mail them. For the most part, I hope they feel good about themselves after reading it. They deserve to know they made a difference in a positive way.

Day 15

I feel the need to update today to keep things straight in my head. I keep looking at the list to find more things I can do and I repeat to myself all the work I've already started on many of the items. So this entry is more for me to get the words out of my head onto paper so I can visually see it straight down the list. It may be pretty boring for any followers that may be reading. 

I've been good about going to the gym this week. But no more driving until Brice comes up to fix the cars on hopefully Monday.
I can get on the scale again on Wednesday to see how well I'm doing on my weight. I'm down to 148. 
I haven't drank soda in a while. Not even a sip since Devon left. I think he may be a bad influence on my soda intake. 
I need to email Joanna Frame. Diabetic. 
I bought some lip gloss yesterday. I wore it yesterday. Now to remember about it. 
I need to drink some tea today. 
I tried my WEN hair care. I think so far I like it. I was able to wear my hair down all day yesterday. That's a start. 
I haven't started getting paid yet. 
I started using mint.com. Carey told me about it and so far it's been helpful. It creates a monthly budget for you, so once I can get our Family Trust information in there, it should be accurate. Although it still has some stuff from our trip, so it's off a little. Maybe after November it will be all in there and correct. 
I was doing good taking Zoey to the park, but I can't put her in the Z and the 240 is still broken. Actually they're both broken now. So after they're fixed I can get back on track to that. 
I didn't go to a Haunted House this year, so I'll definitely have to get on that next year. 
I think Christmas gifts will take a couple things off the list. 
I went to Mt. Rainier, so that's good. I can't wait to take Devon there. And anyone that comes out to see us. I did go by myself, so I might be able to count that as a road trip by myself, but I haven't reached a verdict on that yet. 
I started looking at stuff for our honeymoon. Since Devon will be deployed this year, he gets free air ride anywhere on R&R, so that will be a good time to go hopefully. I'm super excited about Hawaii, which will count towards the 14 states I have left to visit. 
I'm currently reading Twilight. I am having a hard time finding time to really sit down and read. I can't do it in the room for some reason, but it's too cold to sit outside. I read a lot at the dog park, but there's no way I can finish 26 books if I don't pick up the pace on that. I would be glad for any suggestions on how to fit that in. 
I think i might be able to cross learning to drive the Z off my list. What do you think? I drove it for a week. I'm not that smooth, and I still stall out a decent amount. But I did it. I drove it all week by myself and I haven't wrecked it. I even figured out how to park it in reverse without stalling out. 
I've been slacking a little on planning meals. I think it's because I'm by myself and don't really have an appetite. I need to work on it. I was doing good for a while. 
A few things can't be done until we move into our new house, which in itself would cross 'buy a house' off the list. 
I started on my business logo the other day. I like it, but I feel like I need another opinion. However, I'm still too shy about it to ask anyone. I really want to ask Devon, but he's not here. Maybe I'll send it to my mom. 
I also started on some business cards. I will likely change them once I have a photo better fit for a business card. Right now I used a scan of an etching on homemade paper. I really like it, but it doesn't market my photography skills at all. Has nothing to do with photography. But its original and its pink, which I really want because its so me. 
I started my art idea file folder. I put a few things in it, but I need to go magazine shopping again soon. 
I got my craft book in the mail Friday. I have already stocked up on supplies for the 1st month's project: antiquing photos. I am trying my first one later on today, so I'll post how it goes. 
I donated blood on Friday. It went well, but I forgot to get a picture while I was there, so I had to document it my taking a picture of my souvenirs. I'll remember to get some more pictures later though. 
I have picked out my albums for the wedding. Just waiting for them to go on clearance now, since I have to buy so many. They should definitely go on my Christmas list for mommy. 
I met my new friend Holly yesterday. That was pretty fun. We got along well I thought. I really would like to know what she thinks but how do you ask someone if they like you. Kinda weird. I need to figure that out. Hopefully we'll be good friends and such. Also, I am going to Chelle's house on Friday night to meet a bunch of people so hopefully I can make some new friends then. I haven't really been friends yet with the people I work with. They're nice and all, but I'm just too new I guess. 
I made an appointment with a photographer here who is going to take some wedding portraits for free. And we get 5. I'll see how that goes and if I'm not happy or want more, then we'll get them done at work. Tonya said whoever makes it to Christmas Eve gets like almost $400 in free wall art and photos as a Christmas bonus. So if I get that, then I'll use them for wedding attire. Maybe some others too. 
Carey showed my Skype, which I have only talked to her once, but I told my mom and now I talk to her on Skype a lot, so hopefully it will work out so Devon can use it too. 
I have some more photos to take to keep up, but I need help to do them, so hopefully that'll work out soon. 


And I think thats all. I'm exhausted now from all that. And just think, all that was in my head a few minutes ago just swimming around.
