New List

So my A.D.D. has taken over and I've made a new list of 101, except in my true fashion my list is well over the 101.  My goal is to complete at least 101 of those goals within the 1001 days.  However, I'm sure some will become unattainable for some reason or another (i.e. if bf and I break up, which is why I decided to start with more than the 101).

I'm still going to try and complete as much of the old list as possible as well.  (Some items appear on both lists, i.e. one month no eating out unless I don't buy.  I will cross this out on both lists as it gets done, two separate months of these will not necessarily be done).

This list started on May 1, 2013

Valentine's Day Recap

The original plan for Valentine's Day was for him to come up and grab dinner and figure it out from there (more than likely darts, a movie, or board games).  Then exchange 'gifts' which had been decided we would each come up with 12 days - one each month.  However, I got a text from a family I babysit for on Monday asking if I was available to sit.  We ended up taking the kids to Chuck E Cheese so we were still able to go out and have some fun.  :)  Also, I still haven't got the list of dates from him.  Although I know 6 of them are baseball games.

Weekend Plans/Goals

Let's see if we actually stick to these plans:

Friday night:  go visit his mom and grocery shop (and probably the bar and darts after)
Saturday:  water fights with the fire station and who knows the night plans
Sunday:  church, visit grandparents and my parents
Monday:  Dr. appt, concert

101 to work on this weekend:
visit grandparents
church
deliver gift
date
something small
read


Apparently this didn't post when it was supposed to.  Now that the weekend is over here's an update

Friday - his mom didn't feel well so a friend came over and we just made dinner and went out to the bar.
Saturday - went to the water fights and had a blast.  the group was a lot of fun.  from there we met some      friends out, one of them got us stuck in the mud, after that fiasco we grabbed dinner and then drinks at a few places
Sunday - went out for lunch with a friend and met my parents out
Monday - went to the dr and concert last night.  we had a lot of fun which was much needed.

Pretty much failed at my to do list.
Basically the only thing I accomplished on that list was the date, which was a much needed good time.

Weekend.

Quite a bit to do this weekend:

The bf is coming up tonight and we are going to look at new darts for him, probably go out for dinner and frozen yogurt then go to the casino or check out a couple bars we haven't been to.

Tomorrow the sister and I are heading to WI for Scentsy Spring Sprint, then I'll head to the small town to hang out.

Sunday is the bf's brothers bday so we will celebrate that then head to a dart tournament.  Hopefully one of us will actually do well.

Also planning on: finishing up the 12 dates and getting most of the Valentine's day gift done for him, reading, and hopefully beating him in a game or two of darts and actually getting a pic of it :)

Satuday Spring Sprint

My sister and I roadtripped up to Fontana, WI for the Scentsy Spring Sprint for a little training and to view the new products!

We had a good time and met some of our other team members. The drive wasn't too bad but trying to find somewhere to way after was a process. Seemed like everything was closed for the season.

All in all it was fun and I'm glad she was able to go with me. We don't spend near enough time together anymore.
