September Goals

Do the months seem to be going by faster?

I should really start getting better at posting these on the first of the month. Geesh.

Anyways, pretty cool picture of lightening out my kitchen window I wanted to share.

Check out how I did on my August goals:

1. Celebrate my birthday! DONE! For like 2 weeks, first in Florida then in Germany.

2. Read a book. I read 2 - Bossypants and The Help. The Help was amazing!

3. Paint something new. I actually painted today. August was too busy to paint.

4. Plan my 30 day photo challenge I did and I've been posting pictures for that, I've moved it to my facebook fanpage if you want to check them out so far.

5. Get back in the swing of Ariana's Alphabet. FAIL. August felt too busy, but I'm moving it to September

Not bad. Let's move along to this month.

1. Walk - I want to go for a walk everyday, or at least everyday that's not rainy.

2. Finish my 30 Day Photo Challenge

3. Ariana's Alphabet - need to get back into that.

4. Create something crafty - it feels like too long!

5. Print off photographs - you know how it can get with a digital camera, I've barely printed any this year!

This is the month my husband leaves. Super sad face.

(There was a rainbow yesterday so you're getting the privilege to see a few rainbow shots along with my goals for the month. Well actually the same rainbow shot, just edited and then not. It's fun. For this one I cloned out some junk and tweaked the contrast and coloring a little.)

July Goals: (how did I do?)

1. Go on a date night (or 2 or 3) with my husband before he deploys. We did, we had a romantic dinner at Blue Moon Fish Co. and also some special time together (and our own hotel room with Ariana) while in Key West.

2. Spend lots of time with my sister and do sister things like get a pedicure together!

I think so! We didn't get pedicures done but we painted our nails a lot together!

3. Try my best to see my friends Maggie, Nancy and possibly Marie. I got to see my Aunt Lavon who drove down from Georgia. Also Nancy is coming TODAY for a few days!!

4. Enjoy the little things I miss while living overseas: mall shopping, air conditioning, beaches nearby, Momma's cooking! A BIG HECK YES!!!

5. Shed 5-10 pounds and purchase a new bathing suit! I doubt I've lost any weight, I don't feel like I have. While I have made some apparances at the gym, I think my vacation eating has balanced me out. I did buy a new black and white polka dot bikini that I feel pretty hot in!

July was a pretty relaxing month. I wanted to do a lot of easy, fun things and that's what I did!

August will be a busy one. My birthday! (eeeppp!), flying back to Germany, readjusting to the time change (it's always worse for me going that way), preparing for Rich to go back to the states for more training, preparing for his deployment. Sigh.

(edited with a filter called "Toy Camera". No idea what it is, but I like it!)

August Goals:

1. Celebrate my birthday!

2. Read a book. I was slack last month. I guess reading 75% of "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" on the Kindle outloud on the drive the the Keys counts, but I didn't finish it so I need to do that.

3. Paint something new. It's been a while.

4. Plan my 30 day photo challenge (I want to host one on my blog for September, who's with me?)

5. Get back in the swing of Ariana's Alphabet. I just haven't had the time or supplies since I've been here.
