10 Weekly Goals
I'm a huge fan of lists~ I've even been known to make lists for my lists!
Was I ever excited when I found this idea at http://moneysavingmom.com/2012/11/4-weeks-to-a-more-organized-home-simplified-day-7.html!
Here are my ten (10) goals for this week:
Family/ Mothering Goals:
1.read five (5) chapters to Matt of Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer
2. help/ encourage Matt in cleaning/ organizing his bedoom
3. together sell all Boy Scout pancake breakfast tickets
4. take at least one (1) hike together
Personal Goals:
5. watch/ log spending~ finish reading 'Who Moved My Cheese'
6. Bible reading/ study daily~ use 'Resolution for Women'
7. deep clean my bedroom
Home Management Goals:
8. sort/ deep clean kitchen and living room
9. locate/ restock firewood
Business Goals:
10. hand out all brochures/ keep list/ follow-up!
I will post my progress as I go. Watch for scary 'before' pictures and pretty 'after' pictures! Also, I'll try to update as to how this list is working for me and whether or not my list was realistic.
New Hat Technique
 |
| This involves the use of two sets of circular knitting needles. Yup, this is going to be interesting! I will definitely post pictures as I go. Stay tuned! |

MPG Game
 |
| Hey! Welcome back! How are you doing with the MPG Game? For me, this has been very revealing. Note my MPG driving from Brigg Street and Copperfield north to Bruce Road! I was well pleased to say the least. |
 |
| Then I slowed to stop at Bruce Road and turned right (east) to Farrell Road, stopped again at the corner and then turned left (north). I drove north, stopping at one stop sign before turning into the Walmart/ Jewel-Osco shopping center. I'm really seeing how stop-and-go traffic, even occassional stop signs really hurts my MPG. How's your MPG looking? |

MPG Update~ 11.8.12
 |
| Well, this was my mpg about 2 minutes after resetting it then driving through stop and go traffic on Rt 30 headed into downtown Joliet. |
 |
| and this, 13.7 was my mileage by the time I reached work on the near-west side of Joliet and pulled into my parking space. One thing I really noticed today was how fast my mpg drops when I'm at a red light! On average it drops 0.2- 0.3 at every stop light! I think I'm going to try putting it in neutral at those times and see what happens. Watch for updates!!! |

Autumn Beauty
 |
| Hoping the fallen leaves will kill the grass! That will make landscaping so much easier in the spring. |

Just Looks Bad
 |
| Why does the city of Joliet allow this? What could be a nice park on a busy corner has been turned into a bizarre billboard! |
