In case you spied the January pt 1 on my last update, I had the best of intentions of updating progress twice a month…oops. Things got busy, or stayed that way, and I didn’t. Now that it’s 6 weeks later, I’m going to make my new goal once a month and if I can easily make that happen, perhaps updates will become more frequent.
Guest Room – all most of the extra stuff is out, except for a bag of back up Casey amusements for the dog sitter and a late birthday present for the baby nephew, oh and 3 boxes and a basket of magazines, but all of it is much more out of the way than the packing for brunch/shower or packing for the hospital stuff (which is now out of the way) was.
Learn to coupon – I’ve continued to use coupons each week. I had $3.65 last week, and only spend $60 on the trip (aka didn’t buy a whole lot). I still need to blog about my shockingly awesome couponing trip – where we bought one of everything in Target’s baby section and them some (or at least it felt that way).
Find a church – we went to one. We decided which one to go to next, as the first wasn’t quite it. We appreciate that we have friends there, but it’s more Nazarene (not that there’s anything wrong with that, we had a Nazarene wedding) than community (which is really what we’re looking for). Now, to get to the second one…
Lose the baby weight – still gaining…just made cookies because I wanted to eat cookie dough…oh well. I haven’t had any cravings like I’ve heard others describe (of the “someone’s going to pay if I don’t get x” variety), just my normal stuff…chocolate, cookie dough, ice cream, and at the normal capacity really.
I’m progressing on all 4 counts for now! Better than half at the last update! (yes, I count still gaining baby weight as progress, since the baby isn’t born yet, it’s just what I’m supposed to be doing.)
