Goals for the Week of March 2, 2014

This week started off with my Dad's 82nd Birthday on Sunday - Happy Birthday Daddy!   I can't believe he's already 82.  John is completely done with Internship (Vicarage) interviews and now we turn in the paperwork and wait until assignments come out in April.   He was assigned the first part of his Internship - the chaplaincy part - and it is a place that he is very excited to be!  We only have 13 weeks until Internship starts now.  I'm nervous, excited and scared all at once!

Here's what's up this week for me;

Work:
* Be ready for class each day
* Keep my grading caught up to current (so far so good this year - I'm pretty proud of myself!)
* Research project with my independent study student
* Review book choices for fall (I get to pick a new book for my class!)

School:
* Meet with my Advisor again
* Cross off at least 10 things on my graduation to-do list

Jazzercise:
* Teach two classes
* Learn two new routines
* Paperwork
* Do my Yoga CD at least once
* Attend one class this week

Family:
* My Dad's 82nd Birthday
* Swimming Lessons
* Piano Lessons
* Dance Lessons
* Both Children have a Friend's Birthday Party to attend (We'll have a date during that time).
* Family Night

Home:
* Ironing (yep - it's never-ending)
* Finish cleaning out the filing cabinet
* Finish my cousin's memorial quilt (not sure if this will happen but going to try!)
* List of items to do over spring break (John wants a few things he and the kids can do)

Faith/Ministry/Church
* Drop off items for fundraiser
* Fat Tuesday - Dinner and Talent Show at Church
* Ash Wednesday - Worship and observance at home
* Turn in the last of Internship Paperwork

Personal:
* Get my hair trimmed (I ran into my old stylist recently and I'm going back to her!)
* Soak my feet and paint my toenails
* The leather dress boots I've been looking at are on sale so I'm going to buy them this week!

Yep - I have a VERY full week.  I'm hoping to get some sleep and eat well and leave off all the "fluff" stuff (reading for fun, etc.) that I would like to get done and just focus on the list above.  If I can get that all done we should be able to get a few big things changed around the following week.  I'm hoping!  What are you up to this week?

Frugal Friday - The End of 2016

Another spectacular sunrise - we were so very spoiled by these this year!  I enjoyed every one of them! Nothing like completely forgetting I had a blog for month, right?  I didn't forget about everyone - I promise.   December ended up being ridiculously busy and very spare moment was spent with family and friends and on grading, as the term ended not that long ago.    My parents were visiting for 3 weeks (they returned home to sunny and slightly warmer Texas yesterday) and the children had their Sunday school program, their school Christmas program, and a school fun-day to end the term and John had 3 funerals and two graveside burials.  Then there's always the rush of Christmas and all the services that comes with being a Pastor's family.  I am very, very ready for a quiet start to the new year! I have some New Year's posts already planned and partially written, so look for those next week.  In the meantime, here are som...

Menu Plan Monday - Week of January 17, 2021

Peas from my garden last summer.  We are cold and snowy with a lot of ice right now!  Not my favorite weather.  So, to cheer myself up I am starting to plan my garden for next summer!  I am hoping that I will be able to grow at least enough tomatoes and cutting flowers for both my parents (who are moving 1 1/2 blocks away from us in about 2 months - hurray!) and our house as well.   I am so grateful that we have 1/5 acre lot for our home that we can grow vegetables flowers and (currently) a single tree.  It makes me so happy and provides some very fresh produce for our family.  I love the physical act of gardening, both flowers and vegetables, and I love the taste of vegetables fresh from the garden.  A win-win in my book for sure! The name of the game this week is to eat up as much of the fresh stuff as we can so it's easy to move the refrigerator downstairs for our remodel.  They start knocking out walls and cutting holes in the outsid...

Menu Plan Monday and a Little Shopping

Our CSA boxes have looked pretty much like this the last two weeks - though in varying amounts and this last week we got green onions too.  Here we have in the front row: Broccoli, raspberries, green & purple beans, and peas.  Back Row: Lettuce, cucumbers, cauliflower, a mutant cross between a zucchini and a patty pan squash, green and purple kohlrabi and a clove of garlic.  We'll see what we get this week!  I blanched and froze the peas since we have a ton of those and we can't seem to eat through them fast enough.  I have a whole head of cabbage leftover from a few weeks ago in the crisper drawer too.  Two weeks ago we got 5lbs of cherries - they're all gone now (I was hoping to freeze some) having been eaten by my parents and my children!  I can't eat cherries so I was okay with that! I went to the store this weekend with a gift card and spend $22 on milk, peaches, apples, carrots (those aren't ready yet in the garden) and some fr...
