Cleaning On New Years Day

January 1st, 2010    Leave A Comment »

Ok, I did clean today. I didn’t get everything I wanted done today but I did get the kitchen cleaned up and most of the laundry.

I even cleaned the dining room too.

Tomorrow I will finish the living room and then all of the downstairs will be clean. I even hope to get the hallway cleaned. I am so proud of myself yet at the same time is so screwed up that I would spend New Years day cleaning.

Today Is Laundry Day

January 1st, 2010    27 Comments »

I wanted to get my kitchen cleaned up today why I have some free time. My only problem is that it is full of clothes so I will start doing laundry. I hope to have the entire down stairs clean before the day is out. It shouldn’t take me that long if I get off of here and start doing it. See the video to the right —-> I am going to try that with our shirts today.

Goals To Accomplish In 2010

January 1st, 2010    1 Comment »

There are so many things that I want to accomplish this year. I want this year to be the year to end all bad habits. I have several and I am not ashamed to admit them. I have been playing around with these like a toy for so many years it is time to donate them to charity.

Also there are many new things that I want to do but I also want to be realistic and make these achievable by years end. There is a little bit for everything to deal with the mind, body and soul.

  1. Quit Smoking
  2. Lose 90 pounds
  3. Stop biting my nails
  4. Quit shopping at convenience stores
  5. Become debt free
  6. Finish my bathrooms
  7. Finish my 3 seasons room
  8. Finish the kitchen
  9. Purchase a 55″ LCD TV
  10. Cook 5 days per week at home
  11. Publish another book
  12. Read entire bible
  13. Get a conceal carry permit
  14. Thanksgiving at my home
  15. Buy soda in cans – not bottles
  16. Pack lunch every day

I don’t want to make this list too big or unobtainable but yet I want to stretch it and push myself to achieve more. There are also other home maintenance items that I didn’t include but I think this list is very obtainable.

There is no conflict between goals. All of them have specific end dates (2010). I know how much debt to pay off etc. The convenience store is a little tricky but basically I spend 80% of our grocery money there instead of the grocery store. I know that is a huge waste of money. Also purchasing soda 1 20 oz at a time is another big cost. I will work on eliminating that either later in the year or next.
