Well, this is my beginning goal list for December.
Some will be added and hopefully, most completed!

One of my December Goals is to make a December Daily book from 12/1 to 12/25 either with pictures, journaling or both. I actually started with the Sunday before Thanksgiving as I do most of my decorating that week.

Other goals -

2. set up a budget for 2012
3. daily devotional and prayer time
4. spend more time with the family and less worrying about the little stuff.

Great goals Halebob!

I guess my goal list didn't copy over. Will do it again.

I will have to have some contact with DM this month due to Christmas and DS's birthday as I refuse to play the bad guy and have her bad mouth me about not letting her visit (although she does that anyway no matter what I do). So I have been reading a lot on the web and practicing strategies to cope with her. It is working so far

House and Garden
*Finish paving slabs only 2 to do to complete the row. The rest can wait until spring.
* All house thorough clean ready for Christmas

With everything I have going on in December you will now understand why I make sure my Christmas shopping is done by the end of November

Karen:
I see why you did your shopping early. Good planning.

Mary:
Hoping to get some cards written this weekend.

Mary: I'm sure you'll accomplish all your goals.

Karen: A busy month for you!

I cut out and started sewing some of the gifts that I'll be making. Hope to finish the ones I started, this weekend.

Diana...Cyber candy is exactly what I need today! I'm having a horrible, awful, rotten, really bad day. (From the Alexander book, we went to see the play in February and it was hilarious!)

My mouse is on the fritz. My scanner button broke. My bonus check had taxes taken out of it plus retirement garbage, etc., etc. $500 ended up being $284. In my opinion, a bonus is a gift and the recipient should not be taxed! My daughter does not want a Christmas tree. She doesn't want to decorate. She doesn't want to go to my uncle's 90th birthday party in two weeks. The propane guy overfilled the tank and now I owe an extra $50 that I don't have. My landlady is coming to check on the house tomorrow and it's a mess because I haven't cleaned and there is stuff everywhere. Every single song that I listen to makes me cry. I'm mad as heck at R for leaving me with this house that I can't afford. And, I am STILL sick! Please someone, just make it all go away! WAAAAA!!!!!

I have completed a tremendous amount of work-related stuff today so I guess that's a good thing. And, I get to work in my pj's today so at least I'm comfy. (Trying to find something to be grateful every day to chase those blues away.)

December Goals....I have no December goals. Other than to chuck it all and go live in a tent on the beach. That's my goal!

Aren't I the cheery one?
