This August has been a hectic one and to be honest, I don’t even know where the month went! It flew by in a flash and I can’t say I feel like I accomplished a lot this month. Between family visits, a family reunion, wedding and everything in between. So let’s recap the list, shall we?
- Clean – Nope! I tidied up…does that count?
- Sell some things we don’t need – household items – Not a chance, but this one will be coming off my list for next month
- Continue at least two walks a day – I’ve been slacking…mama needs to get moving again because it actually made me feel great when I did
- Continue counting calories – Sigh, fell off the band wagon on this, should really jump back on
- Increase my water intake to two 40 oz tumblers a day, at least – I’m getting back to it, slowly but surely!
- Clean out the wagon and water/sand put plastic turtle my brother gave us – Well it’s the end of summer now, so this one will be off my next list
- Review a new Anime show I’ve been watching and loving! – Completed! Wooo my first completion and I hope I inspired someone to watch it. It’s just so good!
- Get shoes for the wedding for my husband and myself – Completed, though as much as I loved the shoes I got, they killed my feet. I forgot how much heels hurt, especially when I haven’t worn any for nearly two years. Eek!
- Wash Valeria’s dress for the wedding – Completed. Hand washed and everything! She was so adorable in it! She wore it only for a short time though.
- Get blood work done – Um…no but I really need to do this one when I’m back home
- Tidy up my desk – Didn’t have a chance, but man I need to.
- Tidy up the cabinets in the bathroom – Completed! This was oddly satisfying to do and extremely necessary. They were an utter disaster!
- Pack things we aren’t using in a tote bin – Started, but not completed.
- Clean up the Laundry room – Completed. The amount of stuff I got rid of for my parents down there….oh man!
- Order tea light candles – Holding off on this as we weren’t home much this month.
- Clean up the living room – I tidied…but I wouldn’t say this is completed by any means.
- Go through summer clothing and begin packing some things away – Completed. I went through my dresser and packed a bunch away. Can’t wait to get my fall clothing out.
- Go through Valeria’s clothing (She is growing like crazy!) – Completed. I went on a frenzy with this one! My husband even asked if he could help.
- Finish up a few art projects – Nope, again it’s due to not being home long enough to do anything. *Sad Face*
Well not to shabby to be honest. I could have been much worse, so I’m pretty proud of everything I actually accomplished here.
But like I said before, it was wonderful spending lots of time with family on both sides (but I have to admit, I miss my personal space. I like to recharge my batteries during my “alone” time. Introvert through and through!) And the wedding was amazing, until my baby girl wasn’t well. But I will have to blog about all that in the next week or two.
Oh I started Duolingo….again. I’m going to give it a real shot and try to learn Romanian. Wish me luck!
Oh and did I mention we were house sitting? Yup, we will be house sitting for most of September, which will be good and it will give us a little taste of living in “our own” space. Well so to speak, but you catch my drift.
Also, thankfully Valeria is doing much better and has gotten over whatever illness she seemed to have. However, my husband has now come down with the same thing. So please pray for me that I don’t catch it. I’m now taking care of my husband and nursing him back to health, but it seems to be a head cold, so hopefully in a few days it will be gone.
Anyway, that’s pretty much it!
Hope you all had a wonderful August wherever you are in the world!
Ciao!!
