oops -- didn't mean for it to be a week since I've posted. Here is an update on how I've been doing with my goals for 2010.
In January, I did good with my goal of staying in touch with friends and family. I wrote a letter to my grandmother each week, sent highlights of the month pics to all the grandparents of the boys, sent basketball pictures to grandparents, and called my out of state friends. I also sent a letter to our niece who's in college.
I purchased birthday cards for everyone on my list in January and addressed them all. I'll add a personal note and the stamp when it's time to mail them. They're stacked in order in my cabinet, ready to go as needed. I have the birthday marked in the upper right hand corner where the stamp will go, so that I know at a glance when the card needs to be mailed. Already mailed 3 birthday cards -- on time!!
I received a spa gift card for Valentine's Day in 2009 and it was going to expire on 2-10-10. I used that 2 weeks ago -- what a treat!!! I can't believe that it took me a year to use it.
As for our finances, we did pretty good for the month of January. We went over budget for groceries and unbudgeted items. But, we expected it to not be perfect this month. The good news was that our income was less than outgo. We kept track of our expenses each day on a spreadsheet and could always tell at a quick glance how much money was left for each category.
Exercise - need to do better at meeting these goals. I only ran about 5 miles for the month...pitiful! I have lots of running to make up for to meet my goal of 365 miles for the year.
