My goals for May are a curious mix of hard things I appear to be putting off (since they’ve lingered on my lists for the last few months…) and fun things I’m looking forward to enjoying. Maybe, though, the latter is just what I need to push through and accomplish the former! Hopefully, a little more time (which has been scarce lately – my Mom stayed with us for three weeks last month, and I happily chose to hang with her instead of being on my laptop!), is all I’ll need. Revisiting my goals for April: Read “Boundaries” for the NR Book Club Successfully take work trips to Atlanta and Hilton Head with my Mom and June in tow (Atlanta trip was successful, HH trip was postponed!) Prep our raised bed and plant our seedlings Assemble and hang June’s mobile (so happy I checked this off!!) Order favorite Instagram prints from 2015 Get an estimate from one more landscaping company Apply to our HOA to have a tree removed (eep) Finish our will Begin waking up at 6:30am (not so much) Begin getting ready for bed at 10pm (see above…) May goals: — Get an estimate from one more landscaping company — Apply to our HOA to have a tree removed — Finish our will (People, this is staying on the list until it is done. And then I will write a post about it.) — Master an updo from the Small Things archive (I’m thinking this one.) — Paint my toenails (I’m a little embarrassed this is actually a goal.) — Read “168 Hours” for the NR Book Club — Read two novels — Plan for and enjoy our weekend trip to Bald Head Island — Have fun with our weekend visitors – John’s parents and sister + family
