I’m not really sure why, but October was a bit of a crazy month for me. Goals were a good thing, even if they didn’t all get completed! And I already started my list for November!
Here’s the post-month report:
1. Find & purchase at least one bookcase. No – I located one on Craigslist, but then got the flu and it was gone by the time I was up to trying to go get it.
2. Look for a new dining room table. Yes – I looked. Didn’t find anything though.
3. Find & purchase a photo album for our wedding photos. Yes, love it! Also ordered the first 100 pictures & they’re ready for their new home.
4. Winterize my garden, front flower bed, and both side beds. No.
5. Place a ”for sale” ad for my horse. Yes.
6. Update boarding ad(s). Yes.
7. Complete my barely started knitting project. No.
8. Mail care package. Yes.
9. Buy at least one Christmas present. No.
10. Figure out our holiday plans. Partially – hubby’s family knows what they’re doing, but my family likes to procrastinate 😦
11. Pick up manure in arena & haul at least 10 loads of sand into the arena. Partially – I’ve hauled 3 wheelbarrows full of poop out, but have a LONG way to go.
12. Take hubby to Columbus for his now belated birthday weekend. Yes – and it was awesome. See pics here.
13. Meet up with some old friends at the Circleville Pumpkin Show October 21-24. No – it rained all day…and have I mentioned that I’m a fair-weather-only kinda person? I was very bummed we didn’t make it though.
14. Donate to a charity. Yes – I donated to Robyn’s Nest, a non-profit animal rescue and adoption organization.
15. Read at least 3 books. Yes – 4, actually.
16. Request absentee ballot for Nov. 3 election. Yes – voted AND convinced hubby to vote, too!
