Finished goal #2, following up with a new potential real estate client. He liked a few of the houses I told him about, so we are going out to look at them on Wednesday.
So far so good on South Beach - I will pay off the cc at the end of this week.

What a great idea!
My only goal for this week is getting over this strep throat! I will definately come up with a goal for next week!

Re: What is your goal this week?

I have many goals this week, but heres my financial one:

Save as much on my weekend trip to Orlando for a car show as possible. Already staying at a friends house so I dont need a hotel. Hmmm... wonder where else I can cut back.

Re: What is your goal this week?

my goal is set and almost met: i have until 10p on tuesday to cook at least three meals which will allow me to freeze left-overs rather than putting "just a bit" in the fridge where i know it will get lost.

chili is done, chicken stock is made, and spaghetti sause is simmering as we speak. hello reward!!! just don't know what it'll be yet....

goal set, goal met (and ahead of schedule!): i made not 3 but 4 meals that generated enough left-overs to freeze:

• chili (2 servings stashed)
• chicken stock (3 quarts remaining)
• spaghetti sauce (2 quarts remaining)
• dirty rice (4 quart size freezer bags each half full)

best of all, i used the chicken stock to make the dirty rice. woohoo!

still don't know what the reward will be, i've got till tomorro 10p to figure it out.

I got my mile in yesterday! I think my goal next week would be to work in (go thru and throw out) my office library for at least 15 minutes a day. I will see about that next week.

Get checking statement balanced on mine and The Hubster's joint account. There is something wrong there and I've tried again and again and yet there is something I'm not seeing. I'm always tempted to just write it off, but my stickler side won't allow it. If I can't get 'er today, then it goes to The Hubster for another set of eyes for a different point of view - maybe he can spot the error!

Re: What is your goal this week?

Lux, try looking for transposed entries in your checking account. I know the feeling when you're out of balance. Sometimes with me it has been not adding the change to an entry. If your checkbook has duplicates, check them to see if you recorded the correct amount in your ledger. So many things to make one go bonkers when dealing with math! You'll find the error.

I have completed 95% of my Christmas shopping....even sent 6 pounds of Christmas cookies successfully to the USS Howard where our son is aboard ship to arrive just before Christmas. Now this week I want to complete the other two on my list....my husband and my mother-in-law!

Great topic Jodi!

Re: What is your goal this week?

Still working on my Frugal Failing when it comes to food.

By 10p Tuesday 11/7 I will...

Clean out and organize my fridge, freezer, and pantry.

I know I've got leftovers in that fridge somewhere, my frugie sense is tingling all over! I've got a mostly full pantry, and completely full freezer, but nothing has a designated home.

Well, obviously the freezer stuff has to stay in the freezer, duh!

What I mean to say is freezer leftovers are mixed around with bags of veggies, potatoes, biscuits, and at least 7 species of meat. Hard to maneuver in there. The pantry and fridge are no better, so I've got a week to work on it.

What a great idea!
My only goal for this week is getting over this strep throat!

That's mine too - to get over this Upper Respiratory Infection. Apparently the stress of being a full time grad student and working 30-35 hours a week has caught up with me half way into the semester.

Re: What is your goal this week?

My goal for this week is to re-do my resume. I have all these resume books I've been looking at piled on the dining room table and I haven't done what I'm supposed to do. My reward will be to rent a DVD this weekend.

To get DS@ over a yucky cold and to start packing for the big move. I also plan on making a quilt top for church.
