Goals, Oscars, and Life

Hello friends! Happy Friday!

Let's review my goals for the week and how I'm doing, shall we?

This week I have some goals for myself: 

1. Start a new workout routine (new chapter = new routine)

So far, I've been getting in to a good routine. I kinda strained a muscle in my glute/leg from working out, so I've just been easing myself in with some cardio and stretching. Seems to be helping a little bit.Today, I think I'm going to do some yoga.

2. Apply for more jobs (this includes temp agencies) 

Sigh, I really hate this one, but I've applied to a few temp agencies, so, we'll see what happens! 

3. Make delicious dinners ( I have 2 planned already :) )

Well, Tuesday, we went to Tyler's parents' for dinner since it was his aunt's birthday. Since his mom had left overs, we took them home, and that's what we had to dinner Wednesday. Thursday, we still had leftovers to eat, so I left well enough alone, and just heated those up! Tonight I was going to make lasagna, but I can't for the life of me find our ground sausage. We bought it Monday and put it in the freezer, where it went from there, I have no idea. Sigh. Guess I'm making that rosemary chicken linguine dish I saw in a cook book. I mean, that sounds delicious, but I was really feeling the lasagna. 

4. Become better at creating blog titles (haha, this may take time) 

Well, what do you think? haha...I think it could use some more work. Like I said, this may take some time....

So, I guess I didn't do too poorly on my goals for the week. What do you think? I'll be sure to fill y'all in on how the weekend goes.
This weekend is going to be a pretty relaxing one. We really don't have any plans. What?! All we have to do is decorate and get the apartment more put together, look for jobs, oh yeah, and watch the Oscars on Sunday. :D If you're new to this blog, you do not yet know of my deep Oscar obsession. It's bad. I have no idea why I'm so obsessed with them, but I've been this way since I was a kid. Which reminds me, I need to get my Oscar winner predictions ready to go! Guess I should get to that. Have a blessed day everybody!

Thoughts for Tuesday

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you all had a great President's Day weekend. I know I did.
This weekend we bought a new couch, had a wonderful dinner with friends, celebrated one of my best friend's birthdays, had great wine, amazing cupcakes, got Tyler's sister all moved in...need I say more? 

This week I have some goals for myself: 

1. Start a new workout routine (new chapter = new routine)

2. Apply for more jobs (this includes temp agencies) 

3. Make delicious dinners ( I have 2 planned already :) )

4. Become better at creating blog titles (haha, this may take time)

Now, I there are some other goals, but those are more long-term. I think these 3 are very doable for this week, don't ya think? 

Now, speaking of delicious dinners, check out what my husband, Tyler, made tonight: 

That, my friends is habanero chicken, served with broccoli, garlic rice, and mango. Mmm mmm, so good! I think I have a chef on my hands! Hehe. :)

Now that I've been totally random talking about my weekend, my goals, and the delicious dinner I had, I'll leave you with an inspiring quote. I hope it will inspire all of us (yes, that includes little old me) this week. :)

It does."

Oh hey there 2012!

    Happy New Year everyone! 2012 is already looking to be a great year for us. There will be A LOT of changes coming up, but I say, bring it on!

• We need a car (Our goal is to have one by this coming weekend).
• I need to get a job (ahh!)
• We need to find an apartment 
• Tyler starts school again in February

See? There's a lot of changes coming...

    Other than the changes coming up in my life, I have some new goals for this year.
    I want to loose a little weight, but mostly, I want to get fit again. I need to start my work out regiment again. I have what I'd like to call holiday belly, haha. I just bought a new yoga mat, and I have Jillian Michael's 30 shred and P90X. I really need to join a gym again and find some good classes (i.e. yoga, zumba), and then I should be good to go!
    I also want to find my passion/what I want to do with my life. It may take the whole year, but I will do it!
    I also want to work on my cooking. Now, this past year, I have become quite the cook (if I do say so myself :P), so now, I just want to keep working and keep perfecting!
   Other than that, I just want to be happy and have a great year with my hubby! :)
