I think this works!

Whether or not anyone actually chooses to read or follow this blog, I think it actually works to have a list, or a goal, make it public and then follow through.

I'm a list maker. Anyone who knows me remotely well could probably tell you that. But here's the thing... even though I can write myself a million little lists and get satisfaction from crossing each thing off as its completed, writing them down for myself doesn't seem to be quite as motivating. I guess we'll see if I can keep up with this level of blogging and following through and staying motivated. Thats where you come into play :)

Its always easier to complete a task or be excited about something when you first start. Its down the road a ways that its easier to start to slack off or ignore what you set out to do. For me, this is all about not allowing myself to lose ground like that. No where to go but up from here, remember!?

Anyway, so reporting in on my day... I have harvested a few crops in Farmville, but I've also crossed off almost everything I set for myself to do today plus a few extras that are on that pesky list i've got written down on paper. The chicken nuggets are in the crock pot and smelling pretty yummy, I'm going to attempt using an external hard drive to back up my pictures from my memory card & my computer tonight and I've had a conversation with Cliff without us screaming at each other (although I'm still HIGHLY irritated that he's having such a hard time paying any child support, but can afford to go on a vacation and a Social Distortion concert, grr!!)

I think its going to be back to the drawing board on the YMCA membership. When I went in there after picking Ash up from school they were not at all helpful. Handed me a bunch of pamphlets, said they didn't have any scholarship forms available and that I would have to show deployment orders to qualify for any military family discount. Oh, and that they only provide child care for walking ages and up. Hmm. Whats it take to get in shape around here?! LOL.

All in all, its been a fairly productive day. Tomorrow I'm going to Vancouver with my BFF so I can *hopefully* apply for a billing job and maybe have some fun too!
