One of my goals has been to get the Chinese commentators out of my life and thus this new blog name and design. I researched blog designs visiting designer sites and the trend is understated beige and white. No color.
Can't do beige.
Can't do understated either. Obviously.
Another goal is to lose the weight I gained eating my way through Vienna. Five down and eight to go.
Other goals have to do with housekeeping and cooking, but I can't divulge them or I'd have to kill you.
Also I'll stop looking at my skull with two mirrors to see if my female-patterned baldness is spreading. How bald does a woman have to be to shop for wigs?
I'll finish my novel.
That's enough goal setting even for a balmy September. What are your goals for fall?
Hi Louise. Your new blog address has made me think that I may as well come out of the woodwork. I read your post about Alzheimer's a long time ago, and added you to my bloglist. Been reading you ever since.
ReplyDeleteAutumnal goals: Arm my kids with the tools to stay organized at school without compromising their creativity. Stop being haunted by the ghost of an unfinished college degree (whether that means finding peace with the fact that it's not finished, or going back to school . . . I don't know.) Talk less, listen more.
Thanks for making me think!
I'm going to figure out a way to be YW Pres without burning this manual or being perceived as a heretic. I'm going to take a class in philosophy this fall and I'm going to either write that LSAT or as Liz suggests find peace that I never did.
ReplyDeleteFall goals: walking for exercise most every day, catching up on sleep
ReplyDeleteLiz, I graduated when I was 37. There's a wonderful ad around SLC that shows a 94 year old woman graduating from college. So there's time.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, if you're YW president you are not a heretic. If you feel like one, they need you all the more.
Heidi, isn't it terrible that we have to make walking outside a goal? And sleep? Are we all nuts?
Fall goals:
ReplyDeleteBe consistent with the RS bulletin board.
Be consistent with my children.
Be consistent as a homemaker.
Not worry about what they think.
ReplyDeletePlans for September: Not die. Be nice. Exercise.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your blog is back in full swing. You are my favorite stranger to follow. (Sounds creepier than it is.)
ReplyDeleteFall goals: Stick to a budget. Cook dinner every night. Not let weeks go by between writing sessions.
Immediate goal: Not eat the rest of the yellow cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles that calls to me from the kitchen.
Continue to lie like a rug to my family about my true feelings about my dads condition.
ReplyDeleteBe happy about not living in Hawaii...yet.
Dance alot at Jason's wedding.
-K.
Temper my compulsive personality enough that I give my husband and five children what they need while still doing what I need to do for school. Finish my prerequisite classes (with flying colors). Finish my application for my second master's degree (because you can never have too many).
ReplyDeletewait-this is it? i've reached the beginning? i suddenly feel like prince caspian at the end of his epic voyage. thanks for three weeks of enjoyment, enlightenment and entertainment. also empathy. i'm full of e's right now. and all up to date on your blog, and halfway through the Kate and Richard romance. maybe i should nanowrmo or something ♥
