    Re: What is your goal this week?

    Paint my kids bedrooms. Furniture arrives tomorrow. One done yesterday. On to room two today. I think I can, I think I can...

    My reward will be to rent a video for Friday night. Although I could really use a massage....

              this is such an easy trap to fall into: making too many goals at once. you look at the list get completely overwhelmed and suffer from "deer in headlights" syndrome.... been there, didn't get anything done. bluh...

                thanks =)... i'm pretty happy... we got them at one of those sites where you input your digital pictures and they send you a printed album (kinda like a yearbook) with a promotion that ends this sunday... 25% off orders over $50 and 50% off for orders over $100... their normal promotion is buy one book, get a 2nd copy (of the same book) free... this offer allowed us to buy whatever we wanted and get half off as long as our order was over $100...

                we are ordering one Classic album (the medium/regular size) for ourselves and 4 pocketbook albums (smaller size) for us, both moms, and one for my sister/maid of honor...

                luckily, when we got married we found a hardworking, talented and reasonable (very reasonable for our area but he was also difficult to find as he works mainly by word of mouth) photographer whose package included the digital images on Hi-Res CD's and rights to reprints
                so we were able to use all the pro pictures for our albums... =)

                  my sis got married in april, and she asked me to to her photographs (i do digital too). got 1200 shots of the bridal shower, bachelor/bachelorette stuff, getting the hall ready, wedding, reception when it was all said & done (ack!), so i picked 300 of the best and ordered prints and a CD w/ all of them online, & that was our wedding gift to her. my cost was under $50 after shipping. the place i ordered from is http://www.yorkphoto.com if you're ever looking for more prints. don't know if they do albums, but i know you can make your own posters, calendars, etc.

                    2. Follow up with a new real estate client
                    3. Pay off my MBNA card, balance $123
                    1. Done for the most part - I had a few slices of pizza while at my in-laws because there were no other options available for dinner. But I did lose 3.5 pounds this week. I only have 1.5 more to go to get to my goal weight, then I have to maintain.
                    2. Done - we even looked at some houses, but didn't find anything. I will keep following up as new houses come on the market.
                    3. I have not paid this yet as I am still waiting for the money to be transferred into my checking from my HSBC savings. As soon as it clears, this will be paid along with my $900 Discover bill (DH's tuition).


                    My goals for this coming week:
                    1. Stay on South Beach diet, Phase 2.
                    2. Pay off both MBNA ($123) and Discover ($900). Remove both cards from my wallet.
                    3. Close BOA cc.
                    4. Sign and return Health Care Proxy paperwork that has been sitting in my To Do pile for weeks (thanks to another post!).

                      thanks... i actually had a change of plans regarding the books... when i was reading the terms and conditions (fine print) it turned out that the promo would only work for multiple copies of the same book.... that sucks as it bumps up the price considerably... so we are going to wait and see if they come out with a better promo for x-mas... if not, then we'll go with their normal BOGO promo which will cost almost the same as this promo the way it is structured now...

                        that's great and you're getting pretty close... lol about the pizza.... we know how that goes... DH is trying to lose weight and sometimes when you are with other people there just aren't any other options... good luck and i'm sure you'll hit your goal soon...

                          My goal is to walk a mile a day and balance the two checkbook statements sitting there. Also, try and declutter the library!

                            I see some great goals for the upcoming week on the boards.

                            My goals this week are:
                            to have a no spend week (with the exception for gas as we need it).
                            to get outside a couple times this week for a walk.

                              Buy a gift for my BIL (for a birthday 2 wks ago) and get it mailed. Start shopping for my formal dress for the army ball...in just four weeks!!

                              I'd also like to get my basement organized. Since moving to our home two weeks ago, it has become a haven for all the things we don't know where to store. I'm not used to this kind of disorganization.
