Goals - how'd I do?

>> Monday, May 31, 2010

What was going on in May? Well, I read a lot. And, I took in the entire first season of Glee. And, I finished two MBA classes and a canning class. I while I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off, we also got quite a bit done. We got a few big ticket items completed (finishing garden planting, deck staining and cleaning out the garage). But, I fell off the consistent working out bandwagon. But, I have high-hopes for June.

The Wife's May Goals
Fun:
Read 3 books. This month, I read The Help, True Believer, The Pact, The Lucky One and The Lost Symbol (The Help and The Lost Symbols are must-reads)
Take a canning class. We've covered the basics, salsa, pickling, freezing and jams and jellies. And, I bought all the tools for hot water bath canning. Can't wait to try it all for myself.
Practice with camera.

DIYing/Crafting:
Sew something. I'm counting the embroidery, although not technically a sewing project.

Gardening:
Plant all vegetables and herbs.
Plant annuals in window boxes and pots. Everything seems to be doing well.
Begin eating radishes and lettuce like there is no tomorrow. It's been slower than expected because of the funky weather, but it's coming.

Home:
Kitchen organization. Still got a little to do, but I got my pantry and food storage organized.
Clean the windows.
Garage clean and purge. This was desperately needed.
Stain front porch.
Stain deck. More on this to come.

Cooking:
Make a new recipe.

Wellness:
Weights and cardio 3 days a week.

Onto June:

The Wife's June Goals
Fun:
Read 2 books. 
Go yard-sale-ing or junkin'.
Practice with camera.
Entertain.
Go on a day-trip.

DIYing/Crafting:
Finish sewing bag.

Gardening:
Keep up with harvesting and freezing or preserving.

Home:
Clean windows.
Stain front porch.

Cooking:
Cook freezer meals for the month.
Can something to practice (jelly? salsa?)

Wellness:
To the gym, 3 days a week.

How was your month?

I really enjoy reading your goals...and the goal updates at the end of the month. Perhaps I should make my goal to set goals. ;-)...oh and PRETTY PLEASE take me with on the junkin' trip!

Tomorrow I have my resolutions update on the blog. I feel pretty good about my progress.

Just an FYI-- The Lost Symbol is sitting next to me with the bookmarker stuck in page 78. I love Dan Brown.

Totally agree about "The Help" and "The Lost Symbol". I loved reading both of them, but especially "The Help". I still miss reading about Skeeter, Minnie, and Abaliene.

I loved The Help as well! And I am right there with you on keeping on top of the garden...I hope I can be as successful!

I loved this book!

Gosh, I don't know how you are always so productive. We just finished the 1st season of Glee Fri night. And I'm listening to all their albums I just download as I type.

Okay, maybe not. But, Kim usually gets a big smile on her face and says, "They like me, they really like me."
