Short and sweet updates

Goal 1: Clean house: So, I've gotten back on the Flylady (www.flylady.net) wagon and first and foremost, my sink IS shiny today! My livingroom is clean. My laundry is put away, and I am well on my way to tackling the next room. Not sure what my target is yet. Actually, according to Flylady, I need to do this 15 mins at a time and move on! Otherwise, I'll get bored and overwhelmed. Yes, ma'am! 15 mins on one task and MOVE ON! Just folded the laundry? Then go to another room and tackle a hotspot!

Goal 6: Dishes everyday. I did them today! Right in line with goal 1.

Goal 7: Midnight bedtime: I've been getting better but totally relapsed on that one last night/this morning. 4am bedtime. Up at 7am. I'm sorry! I got in the zone while I was working! Same story too "I'll go to bed at 12am. Look up. It's 12:06a. Ok, well, I blew that. I'll go as soon as I edit pictures through the ceremony. Oh! But I love the formals...ok, I'll just do the formals." 4 hours later the whole thing is done and I'm only getting 3 hours of sleep. I'll be fine tonight, but tomorrow is going to be painful. It's the 2nd day after thing again. {{{hangs head in shame}}}. Well, thanks to Flylady, I'm going to pick it back up, jump in where I'm at, try to not be a perfectionist, and love myself anyway.

Goal 44: Make the bed. Did it today! And loving it!

Goal 48: Jason's room. He and I actually did some decent work in there on Sat. Only for about a 1/2 hour, but it made a difference. Hopefully more this weekend.

Goal 55: Read Jenny from the Farm's blog 1 x per week. Read it today.

Goal 92: Network with 25 new people each year. I almost forgot I did this. I was in the post office just before Christmas. I was talking to the woman at the desk and a guy behind me overheard me saying I am a photographer. Well, the woman at the desk was saying how she does human resources type stuff on the side. I asked her if she had a card. In this economy, I know lots of people looking for jobs. She said no, not yet...it is her own business and she doesn't get cards. I said "Every good businesswoman should always have a card on them!". The guy behind me asked if I had one, which I did. He gave me his, and less than an hour later, he emailed me saying he checked out my site, he likes it, he may use me in the future and would be happy to pass my name along to others. I thanked him and agreed to do the same. He's a lawyer for a firm that specializes in small businesses (contracts, disputes, etc.)

Networking...it works. I'll blog more on that another time.
