January Goals Update

I feel like it took FOREVER for this month to be over. Then, this week was a blur. Probably because I got to see some of my favorite people for a 4-H Program Rally. I love my job and a good percentage of that is the wonderful people I've met along the way. :-) 

Staying accountable by letting you all know how I'm doing on my goals. Not too shabby for month 1! 

2020 Goals 

Read 12 Books: 1/12 Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead
Started my 2020 reading with a heavy one. It was very well written but hard to read. It made me reflect on why race tensions are still so real and hard. I can't turn a blind eye to the history of my country, even if I want to. I think I'll read from my work books pile next month. 

Knit 4 Things (and no new yarn!): 1/4 Headbands! 

I got two headbands for my friend Jenny and her daughter. Both from some leftover handspun. She put the buttons on them but I'm still counting them! 



Make 2 Quilts : Haha No....

Run 600 Miles: 53

To make 600 miles that is 50 a month. I ran 53 this month so I will take that as a win! Starting to ramp up for my first half marathon in 2020 April 25th. 

Save 2,000 Dollars: 200

I am very proud of the 200 dollars I put away in January. I didn't by any new clothes and I really wanted a new chiefs shirt. That is the first on the list when my streak gets broken. I DIDN'T EVEN BUY A WALK KANSAS SHIRT. You guys this is serious. 

5 House Projects: None yet but getting bids on the tree removal.
Put in a ceiling light in living room
Put in a ceiling light in my bedroom office
Get a new stove
Remove a scraggly tree
Get my Garage door working

Two headbands headed for SE Kansas!

Proof! Can't wait to be done with the treadmill!
