weekend update



First of all, I want to say thank you all so much for your kind words that you've left for me this past week.  It's been a bit of a rough week and it seems like the more days that go by, the reality of my mom being gone is really sinking in.  Anyway - I don't want to get into it too much here, but wanted you to know just how much I appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers.  Thank You!

Now - for something to distract me for a bit.  My blog!  Just another week and a half and it'll already be February!  woo hoo!

I didn't focus on my goals at all this week, but I want to see where we stand.

No Spend Challenge -- Still on track to finish the month by spending 10% less this month than we did in January 2011.

Sealed Pot - I found $4 in the pocket of my jacket this week and dropped it into my Sealed Pot.  

Exercise/Weight Loss - This was just on auto-pilot.  I didn't exercise at all and ate whatever meals were brought to us by friends and family.  You can track my weight loss goals here.

52 Letters in 52 Weeks. -  I've written several thank you notes this week, but the letter that I'm counting towards my 52 letters/52 weeks is a letter that I wrote to my very good friend Christi.

Reading - Am still reading the book Half-Broke Horses.

Rosetta Stone  - I completed three lessons last week before going to Texas.

So - that's my short update!  My goals for next week will be simple.  To keep my spending down, to exercise at least 2 days, and to write a letter to someone special.  With February just around the corner, is anyone having a February Challenge of any sort?

Big Hugs to you! So nice to see you blogging again and updating us about your challenge.

Especially the sealed pot! I love it when I find money I'd forgotten about.

I am really sorry about your mom's passing {{{hugs}}} I haven't been on the blogs lately so just seeing this :-(

I am thinking of joining the sealed pot challenge a couple months late!!! I will try to post about this in a few days... it's a great idea, just thought I'd need my $$ before December 2012 :-)

A big old hug to you in this time of grief. Stay busy, cry a little, stay busy, cry a lot. Remember the savior also cried at the death of a beloved friend and then raised hm from the dead. He did not offer platitudes or tell people not to grieve. He was the true example.
