Goal #2

Alrighty so goal #1 was a hit! I will definitely be doing my best to keep up with that goal. One thing that helped me with this goal was deciding the night before if I wanted to sleep in an extra 15 or 20 minutes and then I set my alarm for that time and felt way more refreshed than I would have been hitting the snooze 3 or 4 times! A 3-hour delay on Thursday didn't hurt one bit either! Also, by keeping my bed made, I have naturally kept the floor and closet more tidy as well. Especially my bookshelves which can be my dropping off place for all manner of things. I have been putting things away! I am growing up! :( or is it :)?

So on to my new goal for this week.

I am going to eat all meals at home at the kitchen table! I have lived here with my brand new table for a year and a half and use it more as a place to leave my purse or mail or do schoolwork or all kinds of things but not very often do I actually use it to eat my meals. The couch is generally my choice spot - I can watch tv and use the computer at the same time. I tried the table the other day and found that there is a seat that I can sit in and still see the tv comfortably should I try to use that excuse as a reason not to sit at the table.

I think this goal will go along with keeping my bed made to making me into a more civilized adult. It also helps me to not be so lazy! I am not saying I won't eat at the couch - a girl has to snack every once in a while but actual meals, especially those that require utensils, will be eaten at the table. I think I will start tonight with dinner - since I definitely ate my lunch sitting on the couch while checking email and Facebook!

New question. What to have for dinner?

Wish me luck with my new goal!

I think you're right that it's about time to grow up, for both of us. Not that we should leave all our fun adolescent-esque things behind, but perhaps we should strive to be more mature in other areas. Maybe I'll be coming up with some goals, too...
