Spring Break!

Well people I am officially on Spring Break. It is about 90% good, and about 10% bad. It is mostly good because let's face it, a week off a work is always a good thing. But there is a down side because I don't get paid for a whole week and because Sam is still in school and has work so it is just me hanging out by myself all week. I don't really like being home alone all day. I am already home alone all afternoon until Sam gets home from work, but I like that because it gives me time to do whatever I want. But all day? That is a little too much. I am sure people with crazier lives than me or with a bazillion kids are puking right now because my big problem is too much free time. But I don't feel bad. I realize my life is not really that hard and I am totally living it up. One day I will be working full time and then we will have kids and I won't have time to breath, so I totally am enjoying this life of mine with zero guilt. However I don't want to waste my life away sleeping or watching TV so I have set a few goals for myself and I will let you know how I do at the end of the week.
#1 Organize my dresser
This is how my dresser looks right now. Yes it is a little embarrassing but I am hoping that making it public will give me more incentive to clean it.


#2 Organize out desk
This is how our desk looks like right now and this is actually after we "organized" it so we had room to set up our printer.

#3 Work out, I mean really work out, at least three times this week. People, I am at an all time low in laziness. Both Sam and I are. It is sad. We picked up leaves all over our yard on Saturday and both of us have super sore hamstrings from all the bending down. It's pathetic really. There is no excuse this week!

#4 Finish planting all my seeds. I am trying to start a garden from seeds and it is halfway working out. I think this deserves its own post but it is still part of my goals this week.

#5 Finish my menu planning for the month. This also deserves its own post and when I am done I will post all about it because I am super excited about it.

#6 Mail out the last of my wedding thank-yous. There are seriously only like 15 more that I don't have addresses for. And I finished the bulk of them months ago, but there is just that little stack that I know is sitting in a box, on the desk, just waiting to be mailed. They need to go, and this is the week.

Okay, there you go. My six goals this week. You are probably thinking, really? Come on Kayla you are home all day, these things should be easy to finish. But think about it. Some of these things I have been putting off for months. You know those things that you have in the back of your mind all the time but you seem to always have something more important to do instead. I am giving myself until Saturday to finish all of these. So far I have not done much, but it is only Monday right? (says the voice of a procrastinator) So on Saturday you will get the final update. Wish me luck!

Oh and isn't this the cutest thing? They are brother and sister and they like to snuggle (when they are not trying to swat each other in the face) and it is adorable. Yes I keep posting pictures of cats, yes I realize that is lame, but wait until you have a pet and then you will understand.

  1. I think one of the things I love most about blogging is that it's a major source of accountability. I'm pretty sure that the only reason I've actually followed through with all my goals the past couple years is because I've made myself blog about my progress on every single one of them.

    So, in other words...I'm excited for your update.

    And P.S. I miss you. We're coming to Bountiful this weekend, and I want to see you guys!

  4. Torrie, yes we must see each other. Mara, I am home alone from about 2-5 everyday, if you are home at that time then we should totally hang out. Also, I really liked running into you today!
