Here are my goals for 2011:
* Eat at least 1 vegetable (or fruit) with every meal (not including garlic or onions)
* Exercise every day (even if it is only a few minutes)
* Read at least a half hour every day
* Update my blog several times a week
* Spend more one-on-one time with B
* Spend more time outside
* Have all of my wedding plans set by the end of the year
* Pay off my credit card in the first few months of the year, then use my debit card/cash/checks only
* Stop going into my savings for money

It has been awhile...again!
I really need to get better at this. So much has been going on and it has been tough to find time to think.
My fiance lost his job/got demoted the same week that I posted last (November 9th). We have been trying to figure out what to do next. 3 days a week I spend at least 3.5 hours a day in a car trying to get both of us to work. By the time that I get home on those days, I make dinner and watch 1-2 hour long shows on the DVR before laying in bed. We are doing what needs to be done and don't get to spend that much time together doing something fun. We need to get better about that in the new year. This has (and will) continue to make us stronger as a couple.
My job is as boring as ever. I need to find something else in the new year, but I want to get a job for B first. Then I can figure out what we need to do with the car/money before I find something. If I don't need to make enough to support both of us, then I can get a part time job closer to home and focus on my jewelry making or something like that. Working an 45 minutes away from home is tough and with us both working an 45 minutes away from home in opposite directions is even tougher. I leave work at 5pm, get to B at 6:15pm, and home by 7pm. Tiring.
Jewelry making happens very rarely. I'm too tired to be creative during the week, but only find a few hours to look at my beads on weekends. I am trying to sell my jewelry at a friend's salon, but so far nothing has sold. I don't want to make too much until I sell something. I do have an order for earrings from a friend of my parents and another order for my parents. I will be paid for both next week and will finally see compensation for my work!
My health is the same as before. I'm not in pain anymore, but still do not feel great. My doctor does not know what else to do. I am doing everything that I should be, but it doesn't seem to change much. I am still exhausted, but that could be from emotional issues, as well as all of the rushing around that I do. B has been sick for the past month and seems to be finally getting better. I had a fever last weekend and have cold symptoms this week. Hopefully both of us can kill these germs soon. I have not been able to kiss him in about a month! Not fun.
I want to come up with goals for the new year, like setting time to read and work out every day. Hopefully I can work on the list this week and post it up soon. I need to get better about this!
