As I mentioned before, the year is half over, how do you feel you have done this past six months? I feel I have done okay, don't always get things done as quickly as I would like, or have to change things around due to weather, etc., but all in all I am pretty well satisfied.

I have so many unfinished projects lined up, and have decided to work on one particular craft per week, and get all I can done with that craft, and then work on another type of craft
the next week. We'll see how that goes. I also would like to start a weekly group here at the house to work on Unfinished projects. Hoping it will work out.

Please share any and all ideas you have in attaining goals for the month.

July Goals:

Environment: The ultimate goal is a well-maintained house that is clean and well organized.
- Implement routines to maintain what has been achieved thus far
- Continue to declutter
- Continue to organize for a better functioning household

Garden: A landscape that is attractive, water conserving, low mainetance and productive!
- landscape the front with more drought-tolerant plants
- landscape the side yard
- continue to mulch the back

Time Management: Making the best of my 24 hrs. each day
- mindful use of available time
- strive for balance between working, cleaning, relaxing, others and myself

Health Management: Make my health a top priority
- take medications consistently
- take vitamins consistently
- proper diet/nutrition
- proper exercise/rest

Engagements: Social/spiritual/family/friends

Love the p project each time! I have to incorporate them too.
Love that idea!!!!!! See make you a princess and you GO, actually you always do.

Anyhow, I have to sit down and write up a list and maybe start that after the 5th.

Hello ladies, I forgot to include my list for July- maybe I dont want to admit its July already and like you said half of the year is already complete. Maybe its because I am not a princess yet, Dianaro. LOL!

I have been doing alot of thinking about what I have accomplished or not during the first part of the year and I need to cut myself some slack but not completely give myself a free pass either. I have done alot but there is still room for improvement and many things to continue working on.

My July list:

Personal:
-finish reading 2 books
-research new mp3 player before buying
-read instruction book/figure out how to use my new camera
-figure out a movie making program on the computer
-help create a recipe scrapbook for a friend
-scrapbook pictures from the last year
-determine which pictures to print

Work:
-organize scanned documents
-work on creating actual units in each of my classes and a couple new projects etc ***less work in the fall
-save everything onto my external hard drive
-update resume

Saving Money:
-look at the process of cleaning out/getting rid of storage unit
-visit the bank (set up some new accounts, research etc)

Oh, Tinytina, of course you are our princess! You can be our Princess of learning! (and doing too much! LOL). Actually I feel all of you are special to GON. Just teasing with Bless brought on this royalty stuff. I know you are all jealous that I am a Goddess, but what can I say, I want my gals to be happy so join in with the fun and let's name ourselves Princess of .....(You choice!). I think that will be great.....and then
we can have a huge crowning ceremony (on line of course) with tiaras, cheescake and goodies, (Kind of like Bless' party for her anniversary). What do you say?

Tina, you pick your own title if you wish, don't feel you have to stick with the one I gave you.

I think it'll be great to have more princesses crowned, but remember, I am the Queen!

How could we forget Bless, you keep reminding us (Just like I claim Goddess all the time!). LOL

This past Friday, I had a lumpectomy. I'll be meeting with the surgical team at Johns Hopkins in a couple of days to get the details of what they did/found and where I go from here. I know I'll need radiation, which could last a few weeks. I hope I won't need more than that. I'll keep you posted of how things are going. But I can't make any plans to speak of. My goals are just to hang in there, to do what I can, asking DS and others for help if necessary, and try to live as normally as possible. I won't be able to jobhunt, but can do some part-time work a friend told me about, on the computer at home. I won't be able to swim for a while, but will try to take walks to get a little exercise. I'm working more, too, on getting my papers and affairs in order, just in case.

Simplicity
(((((HUGS))))) and prayers for you. Just take it easy and do what you can. We are all here for you.
