Goals - September 2013

Thank goodness August is over. That month was insane for us and I’m looking forward to a slower, less busy September. We only have 2-3 things on the calendar each week instead of 7-10. Maybe I’ll achieve more of my goals!

Professional Goals - August 2013
Finalize all my end-of-fiscal-year reports. Done.
Start website overhaul. Nope. Need to do this in September.
Send volunteer thank yous. Done.
Get approval for our fall mailer and begin working on it with the writer. Done and working on it.
Get art work and my diplomas up on the wall in my new office. Nope. Still white walls.
Send out a mailer that we have been wanting to do for two years. Done. 
Send stewardship mailer to class of 2013 parents. Done.
Finalize AF chairs and division chairs. Still reaching out to volunteers but have my list finalized.

Personal Goals - August 2013
Workout three days a week. Done, plus 2-3 walks a day with Winnie.
Yoga once a week. Nope. I need some yoga in my life.
Bring my lunch until school lunch starts. No more going out for lunch. Yes, I was pretty good about this.
Have a great “couples weekend” at the cabin. Yes. See more on my blog post about it.
Labor Day weekend at the cabin. Yes. So nice to relax.
Figure out our plan to redoing the basement - new drywall and new flooring (we're toying with the idea of a cork floor instead of carpet). Nope. We need a weekend at home to do this. 
Have a puppy play date with our wedding officiant and her new puppy (and take pictures). We’ve rescheduled 3 times between us so let’s hope the 4th time is a charm. Yes. And poor Parker, her puppy, got beat up by Winnie. She needs to learn how to play with puppies smaller than her.
Finalize financial things with our planner. Done.
Goggle hangout with my besties after Kristen has her new daughter. I will propose times and dates so we can all “meet” her. No, but it’s on my to-do list.
Take Winnie on at least one long walk (i.e., around a lake) every week. Yep.
Finish items on my summer to-do list: “B” cork project, selling some wedding stuff on Craig’s list, and sorting through pictures and music on my phone and computer. No more Fridays off so this could be challenging. Ha. I did none of those things. But I did FINALLY rearrange our junk cabinet.
Read two books. I read 6!
Plan to NOT have anything in the evenings at least once during the work week. Nope, we had something every night the whole month (I’m not kidding).
Go to the State Fair and eat to my heart's desire. No wedding in 8 days this year! Yes. We ate: chocolate milkshake, MN wine tasting, corn on the cob, doughsant (croissant doughnut), Italian sausage on a stick, cheese curds, and Sweet Martha’s cookies. All in 45 minutes. Yum!
Blog three times a week. Hahaha… Nope, but I’ll keep trying.

Professional Goals - September 2013
Finish fall mailer.
Finish Annual Report.
Finish analysis of 12-13.
Present at the Advancement committee meeting this month.
Calendar plan winter and spring (fall is done).
Reach out to MS and LS principals about Grandparent Day.

Finalize volunteers.
Get art work and my diplomas up on the wall in my new office.
