Karen, sounds like a great plan! You will have a lovely backyard once all that is done.

Diana: Yes! Except, I tend to fall off the maintenance wagon from time to time! And believe me, it doesn't take long for things to get messy at my house!

Sounds like a great car, but understand about the space.
Too bad about all the trips to make. Have any friends with large trunks?

Mary, too bad you have to make so many shopping trips in one week. Could you combine your trips if you were to buy fewer packs of soda?

I am planning to work on my goal to update my wardrobe, this weekend! I need a white blouse, since I don't have one. Something relatively plain and simple, with short sleeves, that I can wear to the office or temple. The challenge will be to find something I like, which is suitable for the purpose, in my size and at a price I consider acceptable. :p I don't like clothes shopping - I have the hardest time finding something which fits me at a price I like!

WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO Bubblegum! YOU DID it as I knew you would!

I took one baby step in the search for a white blouse: went on-line and checked 3 stores. They didn't have much in terms of what I am looking for and it is hard for me to look at a picture and decide if I will like that style on me - everything looks lovely on the models, but I don't look anything like the models! I am going to have to go in person and look and try on.

Mary, I had to chuckle when you mentioned Mike's car. It struck a chord, because in my young days I had to break off an engagement. I didn't miss the guy but I still miss that ring that I gave back! (it wasn't hugely valuable but it was rather nice.)

I hope you find your white blouse, Bless. It can be hard work looking. The only time I enjoy clothes shopping is when I am not trying, just out somewhere and happen on a good sale and get lucky with something that I really can use.

I never made a goals list, but I think before the month is out, I would like to help DH get the screening mended in the gazebo panels so we can get the roof on and cheat the black flies and mosquitoes when we want to relax outdoors.

Also I want to complete the blanket and get it washed, so I can take it to the next Jabez Blanket meeting in June.

Plan to see local amateur show this month, and arrange a breakfast date with friends.

Thanks for all the compliments on my projects! Sad to say I haven't been able to do any creating this week. BOOHOO! But, it's just too busy with things at work and DD's schedule right now. After I finish my final quarter of compiling work samples, it should quiet down just a tad. Enough to do a little project or two anyway. They make me happy!

I haven't done much in regards to crossing things off my goals list this week due to the busy-ness, but I did want to pop in here to share the good news that I just got in the mail.

DD has health insurance starting next Thursday! With the explanation that my income is only 10 months instead of the 12 months that the chart is based on, she qualified for Healthy Families. She will have health/dental/vision covered for $24/mo. YIPPEE!!! Of course, it only lasts until she turns 18, which will be in 14 short months, but at least until then, she's all set.

Carol
That is exciting and wonderful news. Great to hear you are getting a break for a change!

Bushlady:
Sounds like a goal list to me!
