30/60/90

No, that's not some strange nonexistent date! It's the new goal method I came up with today. It focuses on making goals at 30 day intervals: so smaller goals accomplished for the first 30 leading up to big goals to be completed by 90 days. So here are some that I came up with so far:

  1. Be in bed by 11:30pm
  2. Be out of bed by 7:30am
  3. Not eating snacks/samples at work
  4. Not eating after 8pm
  5. Lose 15 pounds
  6. Read every day, for at least ten minutes
I think that's good so far, I'll have to come up with goals for 60 days and 90 days, but I think I'm at a good start and so far.  This morning I got outside to walk by 8 and I even did a little bit of jogging and a quick sprint.  Just did a mile in total but it felt really good! (I think...).

Keep on Keepin' On

Okay DAY 2 of consecutive blogging now commences!

Today I feel really good, woke up at 9 (which I find to be a very decent hour) had some coffee (actually two cups of coffee, so watch out for this hyperactive blog!!!) and French toast MmmMmm!

And, wow what a beautiful day outside! Too bad most of it will be spent riding the bus and working 7 hours tonight. But it really makes me happy that summer is almost here! And Urban Decay is making me feel even more summer-y!

Check out what they just released for this year:


And my birthday will be here soon *hint hint* Kidding! All I want for my birthday is a beautiful sunny day, but that never happens, it always rains...yep every year!

The only thing I know for sure is that I will buy myself a beautiful cake from my work, something purple most likely, actually something themed like UD would be fun.

I like this periwinkle color, but maybe not the daisies so much.

This one is very new and creative

I love the "bubbles" on it. Ahhh so sweet! And they taste fantastic too!

It's a good think I love my job (most days).

Wish me luck to blog again tomorrow!

Oh, yeah...forgot I had a blog.

Hey Hey Heyyyy!

Yes, I'm alive. Yes, I completely forgot I even had a blog... One day I'll get into the habit of posting regularly. Promise.

Let's see what I've been up to since...*gasp* No, that couldn't be right. January!? Oh, well, umm, err, yeah. See now what I could say is that I've been making the most of my time and be doing so many fun and exciting things that I let this blog just fall to the way side, but...truth is I'm a procrastinator.

No, really?
Yes, I...I've been in denial and just wanted to come forth now and say it, "Hi, I'm Samantha and I am a procrastinator".

Kidding, hello I didn't give my blog it's name for nothing!

So back to catching up: let's see, first I didn't lose any weight sorry to say, although I have every tool I could possibly need to get that accomplished. I just don't have the time...that and I really really really like food.

I FINALLY finished my coffee cozie and gave it as a gift to my best friend for St. Patrick's; I'd only been working on it since before Christmas.

Here's the final product:



Not the best picture (took it with my phone because I realized I didn't have a final product picture just as she was about to leave!) but I'm really proud of it. I got the idea from a tutorial on Urban Threads. Best of all the receiver of the gift loved it and that's what's really important.

Now I remember why I don't blog very much, I'm tired! LOL

Until next time...which could be awhile...
