I'm reaching a point in my life where I'm beginning to feel that I need/want new life goals. Some may call it a "Bucket List", but I really don't like that title. So I'm compiling a list of my life goals, goals I want to accomplish during my lifetime. Here's the beginning (in no particular order)... It will be an ever-changing list, I'm sure!
Raise 2 children
Be completely organic-fed/sustainable farm-fed
Be as in shape as the crazy lady on Turbo Fire
**REVISED** Start a Beach Yoga business! Yoga classes throughout the day with a cute shop selling fun beach-yoga stuff.
Own/Live in a beach house
Go to grad school
Be debt free
Travel the world

I belong by the beach...
It's days like today that I am reminded how much I belong by the beach. Negative temperatures are just not for me. Maybe one day I'll have a cute house on the beach...

Happy February
Hooray! My favorite month is here! Yay February! I know you are curious about why February is my favorite month. And I'll tell you. Because it's my birthday! Yay!! Happy birthday to me!! (and my fabulous friend Melissa!! Happy Birthday, girly!!)
This month also marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in my life: Snowboarding! Snowboarding lessons start Thursday and I am beyond excited! I don't care if I'm good at it, I just want to have fun. Well, that's partially true. I do want to have fun. But a little bit of me is hoping that I'm a natural. A girl's gotta dream, right?!
This month also rocks because I am traveling to Arizona over President's Day weekend to go wedding dress shopping with my mom. My mom is marrying an amazing man and I could not be more excited for her! I am so looking forward to a weekend of dress shopping and wedding planning! Not to mention some warm weather... Peace out cold Minneapolis!
Happy February, everyone!!
P.S. I will be posting pics from our Disney World trip soon. I just need to get them loaded on my computer...

2011 Goals
New Year, New Goals. Why not? It's important to have goals in life...
1 - Take the steps to grow spiritually: read the Bible, pray daily, attend church weekly
2 - Yoga 3 times per week
3 - Join a CSA or buy regularly from a Farmer's Market
4 - Send out Christmas cards
5 - Get 8 hours of sleep per night (when possible)
Continuing goals from 2010...
1 - Learn how to snowboard - my wonderful hubby bought me snowboarding lessons for Christmas, so this goal will have a check marked at the end of next year!
2 - Develop a budget and stick to it - since attending Financial Peace University, the hubs and I have talked about putting those learned skills into action beginning with the 1st of the new year.
3 - Clean and organize my office. Maybe I'll get to this goal before my office needs to turn into a nursery...
I'm feeling very optimistic about the New Year! Here's to 2011!

A Facebook Christmas Story
This is super cool! I wonder if this is how the news would've been shared in today's social networking world. It's very interesting to think about this holiday season!
Yeah Toast!!
This is hilarious!! I bet you'll hear this song anytime you make toast or see someone make toast. Love it!!

Year in Review
Well, ladies and gents, 2010 is coming to a close. Where did this year go? I feel like it flew by! With the last week of 2010 approaching, I thought I'd take a look back at the goals I set at the beginning of the year and see how I did!
1 - Make a real budget and stick to it. Well, I'm slacking there. My hubby and I took a class called Financial Peace University in the fall and learned a lot! As of January 1, we have a budget and a plan. If we stick to the plan, all of our debt (excluding our mortgage...) will be paid off in 3 years! Yiippeee!! Although, I didn't meet the specific goal stated, I feel I did meet a goal of being more financially aware.
2 - Read the Bible in it's entirety. Another one I slacked on... I did find some amazing resources for reading the Bible and I even started! But did not read the entire Bible. Guess I'll add that to my 2011 Goal list!
3 - Make at least one new recipe per month. I started off doing this well!! And then it tapered off... however, all is not lost! I have taken huge steps in my diet/nutrition! Mid year I decided to become a weekday vegetarian. What does that mean? It means that I allow myself to eat meat on the weekends only. I started the life-change as a way to reduce my carbon footprint and as a way to take a stand against how animals are treated in farms. I ended up cutting meat out (except for fish) almost entirely. Letmetellya, I don't miss it. Not. one. bite. I still eat meat occasionally, but only a couple times per month. I feel amazing! I recommend everyone become a weekday vegetarian.
4 - Try snowboarding. Nope. But the year isn't over yet! I have tentative plans to go on 12/26. Let's see if I chicken out!
5 - Be more patient by remembering that people are doing the best they can with what they have. I don't really know how to measure this one... I feel that, as a whole, I've really tried my best. I've had moments of doing really really well, and then moments of failing miserably. But, alas, I am a sinner and it's bound to happen that I'll fall short. I'll keep trying and remember that it's a process. I can't reverse the years of cynicism and negativity in a year's time.
6 - Eat more fruits and veggies. See #3.
7 - Take dance classes twice a week. Fail. But not entirely!! I found a new passion: yoga!!! Up until the last 3 weeks, I had been taking yoga 4-5 times per week. My body has never felt in better shape and I have never felt so much clarity. Go yoga!
8 - Audition for the dance scholarship in August. Nope, see above.
9 - Finish my office/creative space. Um, well, no... it's a work in progress...
10 - Stop complaining about things beyond my control. Instead of complaining about things within my control; change them/make those things better. Another one I don't know how to measure... we'll call this one an ongoing transformation.
Guess I'll start working on my 2011 goals! Happy Holidays everyone! Hope this holiday season brings you plenty of cheer and thanksgiving!

Bullying, etc.
I've been thinking a lot lately about what sort of world I am living in. Not the world that I live in in my head. The world I physically reside in. The last elections made me incredibly sad. And disappointed. I'm saddened and disappointed with human beings. Finger-pointing, name-calling, judgment, discrimination, intolerance, lying have become an unfortunate norm. Bullying is at an all-time high. Many would call it an epidemic. Children (CHILDREN) are committing suicide because of bullying. How did things get this far?
Look at the last elections. It's no longer acceptable to have a positive campaign ad. A politician must be hiding something if they aren't making negative campaign ads. Close elections are being called voter fraud. How can we expect children to treat each other with respect when adults, who are supposed to be role models, resort to finger-pointing and name-calling every opportunity they get? They bully each other, bully the public, in order to get something they want.
And then parents cry about bullying... I'm not blaming parents all together. I understand that some kids are mean. However, I am willing to say that 95% of bullying children come from a household where respecting one another is not the norm. Children aren't taught to respect each other. They aren't taught to love each other. It's a parents job to teach love and respect. It is NOT the school's job, it is NOT your church's job, it is NOT daycare's job to teach these things. Parents, it's YOUR job to teach YOUR children love and respect.
Read this article if you don't agree with me. I commend the writer of that blog for taking a stand against those parents.
It's time for a change people. And that change starts with you and me. I challenge you this week to stay away from name calling (yes, even while driving). Try loving each other. Respecting one another. Maybe we'll start a new epidemic.

Halloween
Time for a rant... it's been awhile, but I think it's time. So here we go. Don't judge me, Monkey.
I used to love Halloween. I loved picking a costume, going trick o' treating, eating too much sugar until my tummy hurt. Then, after high school I loved Halloween for being able to wear the skimpiest outfit I can find and say "why yes, I AM a sexy corpse. How did you guess?" Everything Halloween turned into an opportunity to wear practically nothing and get away with it. Sexy ninja? Why yes! Sexy lunch lady? Cha-ching! Britney Spears? Bingo!
And then something happened. Halloween finally got old. No, scratch that. Not Halloween. Skimpy costumes got old. Maybe I gained some self-respect. Maybe it was modesty. Or maybe I finally realized that the best costumes are NOT the skimpiest ones. In fact, the best costumes are usually the least skimpy. They're the most creative. The ones where I go "aw man! I wish I had thought of that!!"
My hubs and I were watching a band play at a bar on Friday night. Of course, all of the middle-aged ladies were there in their skimpy costumes acting like girls in their late teens and early 20's. Now, I know that age is just a number (or whatever), but at what point do you look in the mirror and say "wow, I am really trying way too hard to relive the glory days. Stretch marks and cellulite just do not look good as a naughty dentist." How do you let your friends go out of the house like that? "Oh yes Sally! I think you look great! But I have had a least 2 jello shots, so my judgment may be skewed."
C'mon ladies!! Have some self respect! Time to act your age. Show some creativity. Instead of going with sexy Freddy Krueger, maybe opt for something more creative. As a very wise person said (one of my hubby's super funny cousins) "Halloween is about being horrified, not whorified." Ladies, make this your mantra.

2nd verse, same as the first
I'm going to rename my last 30 Days of Excellence... it will now be known as 30 Days of Failure. Holy cow I dropped the ball on that one! I'll try it again this month and hopefully get better results. Strangely enough, at church on Saturday, the pastor challenged everyone to read the Bible this month. We're reading the book of James. So, I think I'll start there! Hopefully this month will be much more successful!

I'm a slacker...
Well I'm slightly behind on my goal for this month... I just started reading the Bible on Monday. Better late than never, eh? I'll just need to extend into next month, no biggie! (I knew you were worried. Right?)
To be quite honest, last week was a mess. It was a cluster of a mess, actually. I scrambled and scrambled to get some crafts put together for a craft show last week. And ended up with less than stellar results. I do, however, have some amazingly cute candle holders made! (I'll post pics at a later date)
During the cluster that was last week, I decided that I was going to need a plan if I was going to pull off my goal. I've tried starting at the very beginning of the Bible before and didn't make it very far. I mean, let's face it, most of us know the story of creation, so it's not super interesting to read for the one millionth time. Luckily, the church I attend (Eaglebrook Church) has a ton of resources for those interested in reading the Bible! I'm sure you could also Google a plan, if you're interested.
I've opted for the 31 day plan found on Eaglebrook's website. This plan is an overview of salvation and faith and Jesus. I'm reading from a study Bible, so there's a ton of added information in the margins. I'm already learning a ton!! Maybe it's because I'm older, maybe it's because the Bible translation is so easy to read, but I am hooked. These stories are interesting and there is so much to learn from, even in the most basic of Biblical stories. I spend about 30 - 45 minutes diving into a chapter, reading all of the margin notes, just digesting it all. I also spent time reading about the authors of the books. I think it's important to know who wrote the book, what they believed, what they did for a living, etc. It really gives you insight on the writings.
For those of you embarking on this journey with me, I'm praying for you! I hope you find this time with God as interesting and healing and growing as I am!

new month, new goal
Question: Where did September go? I'm serious. I think I may have misplaced it... Any ideas? Anyone? Bueller? Wow, this fall season is going incredibly fast! And I for one am not happy about it. Everyone knows what comes after fall. Snow. Lots and lots and lots of snow. (you were thinking Winter, weren't you!? I win!). Besides, I'm really enjoying this fall season. The weather is perfect, the leaves are turning beautiful colors, what's not to love about fall?! Ugh... darn winter. Although, just like without sadness, we wouldn't know joy; without winter, I wouldn't know the joys of spring, summer, and fall. (It's okay to punch me now).
Alas, it is a new month. A new 30 days. A new goal. But first, a recap of last month's goal! September began with 30 days of manicure excellence. The goal was to keep my hands well manicured for 30 days. And I am extremely proud to say that I did it! Yay! Break out the champagne! It was easier than I thought it would be! The key was to paint my nails during the time I was watching TV, since I was sitting still doing absolutely nothing to begin with. Each week I started with a fresh coat of paint on my nails. I think I'll continue through the next 30 days!
The next 30 days I am committing to a less superficial, more serious 30 days of excellence: 30 Days of Spiritual Growth. For the next 30 days, my goal is to spend 30 minutes a day with my Bible, spending time with God, studying His Word, praying for guidance and growth.
I've been attending church since I was very little and am very proud to call myself a Christian. However, I am slightly ashamed of the fact that I have not read the Bible in it's entirety. A recent study by The Pew Forum indicates that Atheists and Agnostics know more about religion than Christians know about their own religion. While I find the study interesting, I also find it very disheartening. As I'm growing up, I'm slowly seeing the importance of really knowing everything about a group that you participate in or affiliate with. How is it that Christians know less about the religion they study and practice than those who don't believe/practice said religion? How can it be that I've been attending church since I was very small, yet I haven't read the Bible in it's entirety?
At the end of the next 30 days, I hope to have grown spiritually and have gained a deeper understanding of Christianity's roots, beliefs, and future. Please pray for me as I enter into this journey, it appears it will be quite intense!

checking in
Officially on day 12 of the 1st 30 days of excellence challenge and I am going strong! My nails have stayed painted for 12 days now. 7 of those days have been with colored polish. I think that could possibly be a Jenni-record! My secret? You really want to know?
Chip Skip from o.p.i! It really works! I was quite skeptical when applying the wonder-serum, however, as "they" say "the proof is in the pudding" (whatever that phrase means anyway...). I didn't have 1 chip over the last 7 days. My nails are just now starting to show a little wear and tear at the tips, which is nothing compared to how things used to be!
Although, I have a confession. I didn't wash dishes for the last 7 days. Thankfully, my hubby agreed to wash the dishes if I dried the dishes. Fair enough for me! I have a feeling the manicure wouldn't have lasted as long if I had to stick my beautiful nails in some dish water. Note to self: invest in a dishwasher...

and the adventure begins...
Welcome to September! I'm way excited for fall to be here. I love the fall clothing, fall colors, fall foods. I. Love. Fall!
Today marks Day 1 of a 30 day journey of well-manicured hands. I decided to begin this journey with a week of clear polish. Mainly because I ordered some super cute OPI nail polishes a little late in the game and they won't arrive until later this week. However, even with clear polish, my hands look 100 times better! I already feel thismuchmore put together. And have I mentioned how pretty my fingers look?!
As I said earlier, I ordered some new OPI products that I am excited to try out. One that I'm specifically excited about is OPI's Chip Skip. I'm hoping it will hold the polish on my nails longer than the usual 2 days post-polish. Plus I ordered 2 cute fall colors to sport throughout the month, a new top-coat, and Drip Dry which is supposed to speed up the drying/setting time of the polish! Holler!

30 days of well-manicured hands
i rarely take the time to give myself a manicure. my toes, however, are almost always painted. beginning September 1st, i am going to practice 30 days of well-manicured hands. for the next 30 days, my fingernails will be gorgeously painted. no chips. no cracks. no super long nails. just beautifully manicured hands with beautifully polished fingernails. thanks to my friend Heather's blog, i've been inspired to keep my hands looking polished and beautiful. check out her blog Stylishmint. i think you'll be inspired too!!
30 Days of Excellence
i recently read an article (unfortunately i can't remember where) that was rather inspiring. it talked about ways to be happier and healthier. one of the suggestions is to practice 30 days of excellence. the idea is that you pick something to stick to for 30 days (i.e. no TV; eating at home instead of restaurants) and then feel better about yourself when you've reached the 30 days to find that you can stick to something life-changing and positive for 30 days. sounds easy, huh?
well, i guess we'll see. i'm going to start this fun exercise on September 1st. each month i will have a new goal and will track that goal throughout the month. you should do the same. besides, what fun is it if i go at this project alone?
here's to a happier and healthier you and me, 30 days at a time. cheers!
