Nest Candy: Behind The Blogger

Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why.

Since today is May 1st, I feel this is an entirely fitting post. I let my feet drag too much in the month of April. I had a lot of fun planning Easter dinner, but once it was over, I lost a lot of enthusiasm. Now's my chance to look ahead and make sure May is a great month!

First and foremost, I have to FINISH FINALS WEEK, which starts tomorrow. I have several projects and tests to get through before I am home free for the summer!

I am taking a trip to Red Feather Lakes with my husband and in-laws next weekend, so I would like to HAVE A GREAT TIME AT THE CABIN. I am really excited for this trip. I guess they have a huge Buddhist temple on the grounds somewhere. I really hope we go for a visit. I also can't wait to get some good nature shots with the camera.

The weather will be forever relentless here at 7,000 feet, but sometime this month I need to PLANT MY LEAFY GREENS in my cute little raised bed garden. Hopefully I will be able to keep something alive this year.

I would really like to SCRAPBOOK MORE this month. I have gotten seriously behind in our albums. Yes, that's right, albums-- because I still need to finish Christmas from 2009!

I also want to GET AHEAD ON CARD MAKING by turning out a handful of homemade birthday and thank you cards. That way I will always have a few on hand.

With all this crafting on my to-do list, I really need to ORGANIZE THE OFFICE/CRAFT ROOM. It is currently still a mess. It has never reached a fully organized state of being since we moved into this place.....in March of 2009......

With the weather warming up (a little) I really have no excuse. I need to WALK THE DOG MORE in the next month. He deserves it.

This summer (starting now!) I want to actually LEARN TO GRILL instead of just watching my husband do it all. I am going to conquer that propane tank ladies! (and gentlemen who may read this blog and choose to remain currently anonymous!)
