Self Improvement Sunday - September 27, 2009

Its my birthday!! I think I shall have a few birthday resolutions:

Chill out! - I need to start giving myself a break. This month has been as crazy as I expected it to be. I didn't get to do a lot of the things I planned on doing here. I need to get back on track and really come up with a plan that will work for the next few months.

Wheels on Wagon - I have to start tracking my food. It really helps everything. I know what I have eaten and can put it on the list again if it something I really like.

New Clothes - I need some new things to spice up my wardrobe. I have gotten a few pieces here and there, but I need new pants and skirts because I'm sick of what I have.

Clean out my magazines - In high school I had this great idea to pull out articles that I really liked and save them, but it has turned out to be not so great. I need to do this more as I go than to sit down and do it all at once. I have found some great things in magazines over the years. I should start a binder instead of a folder. That might be easier to manage.

Research Home Needs - If I get this fab townhome that I would really really like to get…I'm going to need to make some updates. I, however, have no idea how much that would cost. I need to see what the best option for badly painted crown molding is - should I strip it, sand it down, or just take it off and start all over? How do I remove an old water spot from the ceiling? Where do I get furniture…what furniture do I still need? What kitchen items are a must vs. get later?

Get Fab townhome - Ok, so I'm going to try. This lady is a little crazy though. She wants more than what she paid for it at the top of the market….um I think she needs a lesson in economics. Prices don't go up in a buyers market. We shall see. Maybe she just needs more time to figure that out.

Have fun with the boy - I am in Canada. I should have a good time with the boy. I'm sure we will visit a few parks and rivers and just hang out. I'm excited.
