Maybe this will be good for me since my schedule is getting crazy busy and this will force me out of heavy work mode ALL the time!
1. Paul and I discussed a few weeks ago a goal to make dinner together 1 to 2 times a week. Now that doesn't seem like a lot, but Paul and I are both super guilty of just picking up a burrito, or going out to eat and spending unnecessary money so we are bound and determined to spend less money and just make amazing food at home. The silly thing about going out is that there are so many great markets between his house and mine and we can buy groceries for dinner (have lunch left overs) and spend under $10. The past 2 weeks we have made dinner together once a week, but I think September is a goal to do twice a week (or at least really continue the once a week!) But PS the food we have made (and by we I mean really Paul makes and I just assist/go on clean up duty) has been A-MAZING!
2. Complete the book I am reading (one of Paul's Favorites) and read two more...That's not a lot of books but I am swamped so I am going to give myself 2 weeks for each book. Doable I think.
3. Find/ buy my plane tickets back home for Christmas...lame goal but if I don't buy them in Sept they will keep getting more and more expensive, AND, when I have my tickets I can let all my employers know that I will be gone for a certain amount of time (time off! yay!)
4. Play pool once a week. Paul is an amazing pool player and plays daily (along with being in a league), and has started teaching me how to REALLY play, but I am bad about going and practicing and practice makes perfect, so basically I am far from perfect right now. So I want to play every week and just keep getting better so I can feel confident to write my name on the board on the busy weekend nights and play people besides Paul.
5. Get back to Rock Climbing. I haven't gone rock climbing since I broke my ribs. I have been too scared to go, but I kn0w I am ready and able to, so I need to get back to it! September is the month to do so I suppose!
I mean nothing too exciting, but doable for sure! August was a crazy busy month with very little "me" time and even Paul and I took a beating of time, so I am looking for the balance between work, play and personal time! Wish me luck!
What is this book Paul loves so much? You're so secretive ;)
ReplyDeletehaha the book is called Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk. Its not a typical book I would read, about a porn star and a new porn she is making where she has sex with 500 men. Its the story of the men. Actually pretty good, but again not really a book I would typically pick up. Chuck Palahniuk is his favorite author though :)
