September intentions audit

So since its the last night of September, I thought I should look over my intentions and do an audit of what I've achieved or missed.

1. Send out my flier : Not sent out, but am putting the final touches to it.
2. Arrange delivery to Anabela  : Little Alexi had been ill and I need to send Anabela another email to arrange delivery.
3. Get two more modules completed of my course : Not even close, but about to submit Module 3
4. Complete Liams' High School Admission form : Handing it in this week as they head back to school tomorrow
5. Remember to wish all the birthday babies of this month : Achieved
6. Get a pedicure ... its open toe shoe season, got to have them tootsies looking good : Achieved - thanks to my sister Lynn.
7. Get to the gym at least twice a week   : I so achieved this intention - in fact I knocked it out the ball park as I went three times most weeks.
8. Get the stones in the half round bed cleaned up : took most of them out, then got bitchslapped by a migraine and there they sit in a bin on the pathway waiting.  I started.
9. Clear out my inbox ... I have a ridiculous amount of emails in my box : down from 2000 to 500 I've achieved
10. Enjoy family time : A weekend away
11. Have some fun : Chillaxing with my boys watching them dig huge holes on the beach - to me that's super fun.
12. See somewhere new : Still on my list
13. Practise practise and practise some more with the camera : Yes, learnt how to take a white balance reading.
14. Trim the Yakkas : Schatz has been instructed ;-)
15. Sort out my shoes ... with Spring here, its time to Flylady them : Barely started
16. Get the winter woollies washed and sorted and ready for next season : Mostly achieved
17. Generally I don't Spring clean - but I do need to get the carpets shampooed : Still on the list
18. Keep working at sorting out my ancient photos : Got a few months done but its still on the list.
19. Print the photo for the frame in the lounge (find it first which goes with number 16). - still working at finding it
20. Get more Elements practise time in - got plenty practise in.

Did you have any intentions and how did you do towards achieving them.  Overall I'm pretty happy with what I got done considering that I battled migraines and headaches for almost two weeks straight, which saw me losing many hours for three consecutive days as I feel so rotten. 

This month I shall achieve more.

When   September 11, 2013

Time     07:15

I hit the gym again this morning and did the above routine.  I decided to hit the treadmill for a 'fat burn workout' and concentrated on my legs today.  I'm wondering how sore its going to be tomorrow morning.  I'm stoked that I got off my butt and have been to the gym twice this week and for achieving my goal for the week of two visits a week as per this post.. No promises, but I am scheduling in my mind a visit on Friday where I'll work arms. 


Besides getting an email off to Anabela, its the only other thing on my List of Intentions I've achieved, but then, we have a good few days still to go in this month.

 

Tonight is our monthly Sistas Dinner.  I'm looking forward to seeing my sisters and catching up on their news.  I'm considering suggesting a monthly sisters get together on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to scrapbook.  I have tons of scrapbooking products and just never get around to scrapbooking, maybe I should throw the idea onto the table this evening and see what comes out of it.  I haven't scrapbooked in almost two years now, but often still buy goodies.  I sometimes think I'll just put it all up for sale - but my heart just won't allow me to.
 

So now its time to hit the shower and get the day going.  I have lots I intend doing today - and its almost 09:00.
 

Hope your day is fabulous.

Anything you have planned? 

We had a fabulous weekend.  Friday we had my nephew Connor stay over and he also spent Saturday with us.  Liam had his friends over for a late birthday get together - I love seeing boys being boys ... shooting guns ... playing football ... and eating pizza.  They had a great time and were all relaxed and laughing.  He then went off to spend the evening at his friend Richard.

As the Chairman of The Toy Run Event my Schatz has to show his face at certain events and Sunday was one of those and for him a big day as its the first time he took his 'old-new' bike out on the road and he said he had fun, but there are still some issues on it that need to be resolved.  For four months I have not had much biking stress in my life and I forgot how anxious I get when he's out on the road. 

Did you notice my new header?  I needed some colour and something that said Spring to me when I visit here so yesterday I quickly made it for myself. I'm pretty happy with it.  What's your thoughts on it?

Hope your Monday is off to a rocking start ... let "go M.A.D."

FABruary Style Challenge : Day 3 & 4

I got dressed before looking at the challenge for the day yesterday, so I skipped it.  I wore shorts as it was sooo hot and we were going off to play adventure golf with the kids.  It was fun and the course out at Bright Water Commons is really pretty.

Today, the challenge is to wear a dress.  I'm ashamed to admit that this is only the second time I'm wearing this dress and more than ever, I'm convinced it needs adjusting.  The waist doesn't fit quite right, so I'm thinking of converting it into more of a fitted dress as well as removing the collar.  Initially I had considered wearing the new LBD I purchased on the Truworths sale, but then decided against it as its black and I'm still committed to keep away from black on Mondays.

Details:  Dress and Cardigan : Truworths | Shoes : La Diva | Belt : Woolworths | Bracelets : Charlottes Russe | Watch : Lanco | Shades : Ray Ban

I had to put the cardigan on over the collar as it just doesn't fit under it.  That's one of the reasons why I've contemplated removing the collar, but I'm rather nervous of removing it and possibly messing up the dress completely.

Its so hot today that I removed the cardigan soon after arriving in the office.  I noticed as I drove out the driveway this morning that I had no 'finger candy' on either and to be honest, I'm so used to wearing rings that I feel quite naked.

On other notes ...

I put my first money away for my Paris 2016 trip last week - all of R135.00 ... now don't laugh, its a start.  This is a long term goal that I'm working towards and I promised that my Justine earnings will go into the kitty.  January is always a slow sales month and although I did earn a little more than that, I had used the income before I could squirrel it away.  This is one of my intentions for 2013 ... I have a figure in mind that I intend saving.

Keeping with the whole intentions vein, printed  off 'Unravelling the year ahead 2013" from www.susannahconway.com and want to spend a little time going through her workbook this evening.  This came about after I printer off the 2013 Intentions from Marcia at www.purposefultimemanagement.com.  As I've read, you have to have it written down and visible to make a conscious effort to stay intetional about your intentions ... which brings me to a question for you - Are you working on your intentions for 2013? 

Hope you're hammering away at them, or at least considering reading the various newsletters and post from Jon Gordon, Christine Kane etc. etc. 

Have a stunning week now.
