Saturday v.1

My (Sara's) Goal today: Make attainable goals for Saturday.

Past Saturday goals were generally something like: "Clean the entire house, make 4 new friends, work-out for hours, and solve world hunger." Needless to say - hard to complete.

Due to that goal, my goal list looked something like this:
1) Do the laundry (clean, and put away!) [very attainable]
2) Get a foam board to put on the map from our wedding, mount it, and hang it up! [somewhat attainable]
3) Clean the office! [ludicrously un-attainable]

That said, at the end of today:
#1 is completed
#2 is half-way completed (took 2 trips to Michaels, and now the board is drying)
#3 has been started, however is nowhere near completion. My goal is soon to have a desk that doesn't scare me when I come home!

Now in stereo-typical Perceiver style, we completed several other things during the day that were not on the list at all including:
- Sara joining a gym she intended to join last week. Now she has fitness classes to attend while Jon is at soccer.
- Finding frames were on sale at Michaels, and scrounging around for some posters to frame! We found 2 that are definitely worthwhile (one by Klimt, and "The Prodigal" by Rembrandt), and that resulted in another trip to Michaels. Hopefully the bare space above our couch will soon be filled with the art :o)
- Cooking 2 meals for the day- definitely worth noting.
- Mailing 2 letters. We don't have a very reliable solution for out-going mail here, so we have to make a trip to the mail box every time we want to mail something.

So all in all, a very successful day!
