Weekly Wishes #7

Its monday again! I totally had a lazy blog week last week and failed to update on my weekly wishes. Oh well, I don't think I completed any of my goals anyways. Yep, its been that kinda week. But I've had a sleepy lazy weekend and I'm ready to have a productive week!

This weeks goals!

One! Finished up my last roll of film. Yeah I know I've had this on my to do list for a while. I finished up one roll last weekend and only have a half more to go. Then I can send them off to get developed!

Two! Call and schedule a hair cut. I always get anxiety getting my hair cut but I've recently found a hair stylist that understands what I'm looking for and doesn't mind that I don't make small talk. The only tricky part is finding a time that I can take off work and that he works. But I need to get my hair done. Its dry, looooong and thick. Oh so thick!

Three! Do some laundry. I'm sad that this needs to be on the list. It should be something that I just do and not have to force myself to do. But at the end of the day I just get too tried and lazy to do a load of laundry. Maybe if I add it to my weekly wishes I'll actually get it done!

I'm hoping this week is better then last. I think I'm outta my funk and can actually function with out being a mopey mess. I wish you all a very successful week!!

As always don't forget to head over to the Nectar Collective and spread some encouragement and love!
P.S. And yes, I finally had to break down and and buy A Beautiful Mess's photo app!

Weekly Wishes #6

  

I was a boob last week and didn't get around to participating in the weekly wishes shenanigans. But I was finally catching up on reading all my blogs that I love to read, but failed to last week. And I missed being a part of something! I think its hard to related to others wishes, when you aren't really making your own goals, if that makes any sense at all! Plus I failed miserably on my last few goals, so I was avoiding thinking about it. (Horrible, yes I know.) But I'm feeling optimistic this late monday night! So I'm giving it another go!

This weeks goals!

ONE:
Read more! It has taken me AGES to get though this book that I"m reading. Not because its a bad book, but because I'm so lazy! I've also started watching all the Arrested Developments with my roommates, starting from the first season. Soooo, yeah...I really should STOP watching TV and pick up a book!!

TWO:
Find new music to listen too! I'm officially stuck in a music rut, which sadly means all my creative juices stop flowing and I'm just NOT creative. But whenever I find new tunes to listen too I feel like I want to paint murals and send a pretty doodle to everyone on the planet! So, needless to say I need to find some new music to listen to so it hopefully gives me a lil' creative boost! What have you been listening to lately?

THREE:
Finish up the roll of film in my camera. I took 2 cameras on our mini camping adventures and only finished up a half of roll on each. Why I didn't just use one camera is beyond me, not my smartest move. So now I need to take some pictures so I can get them developed! I'm crossing my fingers that I can find some photo worthy things this week! I've a feeling they are just gonna end up being photos of Zoei while she's talking. I'm not sure why but those are my favorite!

As always don't forge to to go to The Nectar Collective and spread some love and encouragement! Also click around! I'm finding soooo many awesome blogs from her weekly link up!

Weekly Wishes #5

Oh hello Monday! Oh boy was today rough. I haven't had a rough Monday in quite a while, so I was well over do for a crazy work day and stressful car-ness. How come when you're having a bad day is when your car decides to act goofy? Anyways, looking to the bright side and setting a few goals this week. All thanks to the lovely Melyssa over at The Nectar Collective! This is easily becoming the highlight of my monday nights!

Last Week!

Oh sigh. I'm sad to report that I didn't achieve any of my mini goals for last week. My cameras are still sitting on the shelf and my window is still curtain-less. I'm not sure what happened last week or where all my time went! Seems like I got absolutely nothing done and didn't even realize it until looking back on the week. It was definitely one of those sitting in front of the TV kinda weeks. Which I hate and it makes me feel so pooooopy. I need to not do that. Hopefully this week is better!

Goals for this week!

1) Get out of my house! I've lived in this new little town and I have yet to walk around the block to see whats around me. Sad, I know. So my goal is to venture out and see whats around me and turn off the TV!! Last week my goal was to take photos around my neighborhood, but I've simplified that to just get out of the dang house!

2) Catch up on my letters. I'm quickly becoming a cruddy pen pal. I still have my Snail Mail collective package to send. (Oopsy!) But I haven't found the post office where I live yet! I went to the grocery store on Sunday and discovered they have a mini post office in the store. But of course it was closed! And now our car is having a hard time starting so we only take trips that are absolutely a MUST. Ok, now I'm just making excuses. Fingers crossed that I get it and the rest of my responses mailed this week! (Sorry Chelsea! I promise something is coming!) P.S. Check out her BLOG, you'll love it!

As always head over to The Nectar Collective, Weekly Wishes and spread some positivity!

Weekly Wishes #4

Its Monday! That means its time for WEEKLY WISHES! I've been having so much fun with this each week! Not only am I completing lil' goals I'm finding so many awesome blogs to read as well! If you wanna join in go over to the Nectar Collective and join in the fun!

Last weeks goals!

FRIST! Draw more! I was moderately successful on this one. I did a few doodles that I'll post later on this week! 

SECOND! Finishing unpacking! Well, I did work on this one quite a bit this weekend. I got all my clothes unpacked and hung up. Also a curtain put up. (Yup, just one) I did realize that I need to get some shelves, its hard to unpack boxes when you have no where to put things. 

This week! 

FIRST! Take more pictures! I love my cameras and I love taking photos. Although I'm not all that good at it, I still enjoy it. I haven't walked around our lil neighborhood yet either, so I think I'm due for an adventure. So my goal this week is to take out one of my lomography cameras and take some pictures! 

SECOND! Finish putting up my curtains. I did so good last week making my lil room more homie. I got one curtain up but haven't cut and finished the other one. One thing I hate doing is measuring. I'm a wing it kinda girl, which hardly ever works out. But I need to measure one this one so it doesn't look completely crappy. I've been putting off until I think I have the patience to measure and iron the darn thing!

P.S. I should really work on making my own little weekly wishes banner. I always seeing what cute things others create! Goal number 3? Or maybe just 2 1/2! 

What are you goals for the week? Go spread some positivity!! 

Weekly Wishes #3

Woo! Yet another week and so it goes! I've come to enjoy these weekly wishes quite a bit. I'm actually sticking to them too! Which is kinda amazing since I'm so flaky its embarrassing. (Probably something I should work on) But hey, these goals have been tons of fun and I love hearing about other peoples wishes. Melyssa created something wonderful over at The Nectar Collective! 

Last weeks goals!

1) Read more! I was oh so very successful on reaching this goal. Maybe a little two successful, I found myself passing up doing the laundry and dishes to just be lazy and read. So I guess I really should find a balance. On the bright side Looking for Alaska by John Green is an AWESOME book! Although I'm a slow reader and haven't finished it yet!

2) Floss my teeth! I started off really good on this one. Although by Thursday I found myself forgetting and being a bit lazy. I wouldn't remember that I was going to floss until I had already crawled into bed. I mean, do you get out of bed to floss?? Yeah, didn't think so. I am becoming more consistent flossing in the mornings though. So hopefully I can turn that into a habit!

Overall, not a bad week! Goals for this week!

1) Draw more! I love doodling and drawing. The problem is I hardly ever find the time. By the time I get home from work I'm all goobery and tired. So I just opt out and veg infront of my computer or the TV. So I need to start making some time in the day for doodles! A drawing a day seems do-able, right?

2) Finish unpacking! I know, I've lived in our new lil house for about a month now and I'm still living outta boxes. I'm just so indecisive about where I want to put things. I just need to do it! I'm tired of digging though boxes. I also need to make my room more homey. It feels like a creepy basement right now. Which is reasonable, because thats what it is. But this week I want to put up some art, get some curtains and make it feel more like a place I want to be!

Its starting to look like I just need more hours in the day! Don't forget to check out other people's weekly wishes and spread some love and encouragement!! Hope you all have a successful week!

Weekly Wishes! #2

I'm so digging the Weekly Wishes from over at The Nectar Collective. I normally set mini goals for myself but hardly ever follow though. But I actually met my goal that I set last week! So I'm doing it again this week! Its kinda amazing what the support of others can really do! The best part of blogging is being a part of a community!

Last weeks goals! 

Numero Uno was finish responding to all my mail. Which I successfully accomplished! I wrote 8 letters and 3 postcards last week. I'm all caught up to my most recent letters and I'm hoping to stay caught up! I can't remember the last time I didn't have stack of letters to write. Not that I'm complaining I just hate when it takes me a long time to respond. 

Numero Dos was to make more small talk. Eh, well I'm not too sure how successful I was with this one. The only real interaction I had was when I went to the pet store. I staring into the eyes of the guinea pigs for quite some time, they are quite adorable and mystifying. Well the employee that was cleaning the cages thought that  I wanted to purchase one. Me being the awkward person that I am tried to make small talk, but panicked and didn't really have anything to say. So I just started asking about how to care for a guinea pig. I've no idea why, its not like I'm going to buy one! Then it just came to a point where I said, OK and walked away. The employee was probably confused why I didn't' get one. Ugh at least I kinda tried, right? I think I'm gonna count this as a half success. 

This weeks goals! 

1) Read more! I just started a new book, Looking for Alaska by John Green. I'm only a few pages into it and I love it. Although it seems like I get distracted whenever I sit down to read. Its like all of a sudden I remember I've 5 billion other things to do. I tried to read before going to bed and I can't even get in two paragraphs before falling asleep. So this week I'm making time to sit down and read! 

2) Floss my teeth. Now I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not good at taking care of my teeth. I mean, nothing grotesque and I've one of those toothbrushes with the timer on it. But A) I should really go to the dentist and B) you know they are going to haggle you about flossing. So this week my goal is to floss every morning and night. Now this one seems way doable! 

Well, those are my goals for the week. Yeah, they seem kinda lame but its the little things right?! Don't forget to spread some love and encouragement to other bloggers and set your own goals! 

Have a happy Week! 

Weekly Wishes! #1

For a while now I've been following the blog The Nectar Collective. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites to read. Lately she's been doing Weekly Wishes! Where basically you set a few goals for the week, link up to her blog and then read about other people goals and give them some motivation! How great is this idea! I love how positive this is so I thought I'd give it go!

Okie dokie a couple goals I've set for myself this week are:


1) Finish responding to all my mail. I've gotten way behind since moving and its about time to get caught up! I did a few this weekend and still have abou 5 letters to write. Seems achievable right?!

(Also if you love snail mail as much as I do, The Nectar Collective is also doing a Snail Mail Collective, if this is your cup of tea, GO SIGN UP!)

2) Make small talk with people. I'm one of the most awkward people in the world. I normally mix up my words or start talking with an accent when I'm around new people that make me nervous. BUT, I really need to work on making small talk, especially with people I work with. Or else I'm forever going to be the "cold" coworker that no one really likes. So my goal is to make as much small talk with my coworkers as I can! This one might make me a little nervous and sweaty, but I think I can do it!

One of my new year's resolutions was to be more positive and this is just what I need to get me back on track!

P.S.- Don't forget to go give someone some motivation!
