A weekend of efficiency

So maybe I haven't been the most motivated person the last few months....but there's been a lot going on. Not anymore...I was the model of efficiency this weekend. I read 2 books, started 3 more (not an easy task, I tell you), finished 1 quilt top, another is about 80% done (even with thinking I completely messed it up), AND I still managed to do all the laundry. All in over 100 degree heat. (Ok so I was in the a/c all day long, but still). And I even found time to run all my errands.

My new job has some interesting opportunities. Maybe they will pay off in increases in pay, but anyway you look at it, it will probably advance me some in my career. As long as I stay on top of things and don't horribly mess up, I should be ok. I try to be friendly to people, so that might help.

Goals for the rest of the year...
#1 Lose weight--at least 20 pounds
#2 Work out some everyweek--even it if is just walking the dog
#3 Finish at least 2 more quilt projects--preferably the star quilt & the big siggie top
#4 Get caught up on the DJ BOW & TOW challenges
#5 Go back to church
#6 Pay off credit cards
#7 Increase savings significantly--to get a min of $1000 in each account

We'll see.....
