October goals

I've been a bit behind on reading all of the blogs that I would normally like to visit. I apologize for that, but  hope to visit you all eventually. Anyhow, I just realized that I was tagged over on Debt Free Saver to share some goals for October. October is already well underway, but I'm going to give it a shot anyhow.

Get ready for competition

Cheer competitions that qualify for nationals begin in just a couple months. I hope to have music cut, choreography put together and taught to the squad before this month is over.

Write Randall once a week

I really want to support my brother now that he's gone. My goal is to write him a letter at least once a week. I think this will also help with me missing him.

Training

I don't feel like revealing the specifics of this particular goal just yet because I'm unsure of how I really feel about it as of yet. The few people that know about it have really been encouraging me to go for it and I love that support. So, I'd like to prepare for this goal by getting the proper training. By the end of October I hope to have begun a training plan to help me out should I decided to go for it. Sorry to be so vague...

Make the skirt

I've had a vision of this skirt that I want to make for over a month now. I am terrible at making patterns and I just can't seem to translate this skirt to fabric. I'm going to challenge myself to have this skirt done by the end of October as well.

Budget

My income has changed a lot over the last few months so my old budget has kind of gone out the window. I spend away all of my extra money instead of save, this blog is evidence of that for sure! I need to sit down soon and readjust my budget and stick to it. Debt Free Saver is kind of inspiring me to spend less on the frivolous things, she is becoming so disciplined.

Now that I've given you a little too much insight into my personal life... ;)

I think five goals is sufficient for this month. I'll try to give you an update at the end of the month.

I challenge anyone that reads this post to set some goals for their blog or personal life. If you share these goals on your blog, let me know and I'll check them out!

Book Tag

I got this one from over on Insane Mama blog...

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.

The nearest book to me is The Host by Stephenie Meyer.

Found sentence five, here are the next three...
"Her face was a mass of wrinkles, all of them turning down into angry lines. But there was something familiar about the features behind the lines. Melanie made the connection between the ancient face and another, smoother face in her memory."

Sure paints a picture, right?

Lets see, I will tag Wendy, Marrdy, alicatstrut, Paint and Soul and Stephanie.

Tag, not the kissing kind.

I've been tagged by The SLC Socialite. I'm really quite liking this tagging business.

Getting right to the questions —

What were you doing ten years ago?

Lets see, I was twelve. I had just finished up the six grade, saying goodbye to half of my friends as we would no longer be going to the same junior high schools. I was probably goofing off with Ashley and Cortnie all summer, doing things like playing in the field under the power lines, making bonfire's in Ashley's back yard and flirting with the neighborhood boys the way only 12-year-olds can do.

What are five things on your to-do list today?

1. Finish all my work.
2. Clean my car.
3. Clean my room.
4. Get nails done.
5. Get the spirit stick made.

Snacks you enjoy?

Depends on the time of day usually. My cravings can range from some fresh fruits and veggies, to cheese crackers, to peppered beef jerky, to candy and pastries.

Places you’ve lived?

Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Taylorsville, West Jordan, South Jordan all in Utah
Miami, FL
Page, AZ

What are 5 things you would do if you were a billionaire?

1. Travel more, specifically across Europe to see all the art and architecture I learned about in Art History.
2. Take more time to develop skills as a photographer, dancer, artist, etc.
3. Spend time with loved ones.
4. Find out what I really love to do and then do it.
5. Shop at my leisure.

People you want to know more about?

Pretty much anyone! I like talking to people and finding out stuff that I never knew.
