Hello March

Yesterday was a sicky kind of day.  It is so rare that I am sick enough to want to lay around all day, but I was.

Today seems to be better, a good day to reflect on February.  John and I both thought that for a short month, February this year seemed to be super long.  Doesn't Super Bowl seem like five years ago?  Ok-  maybe that is a bit of a stretch, but I am happy to flip over another month on the calendar.

And, here is a summary of the goals I had made for February...and notes to what was accomplished.
Health
•(at least) 20 minutes of working out six days per week. More is better. Done!  I LOVE this goal, I feel such a difference.
•Don't go overboard at Super Bowl, bring healthy foods. Done, did a decent job...
•Incorporate/try two (healthy) new foods that you have never used at home before. Lentils, Kumquats, Fresh Ginger, Kale (and I bought purple califlower, but we didn't get a chance to eat it)
•Make a dinner plan/menu for each week. We did better at eating at home, but I still need to work on getting that menu planned.

Shop one winter farmer's market in town. February 11th, Vinyard Farmer's Market

Household
•Clean out and organize our bathroom cabinets. <--Make them functional! - Not so much... seemed a little daunting, will have to roll over to next month
•Clean, fold and PUT AWAY (at least) one load of laundry per day. Unfortunately no...although I am certain that some days I did 6-7 loads so if you average them out it might have been one per day. 

Projects/Crafts
•John- paint brown cabinet for girls 'in box' (find bins for the shelves) DONE!  And it looks AWESOME, thanks Babe!!
•Complete girl's Valentine's for friends/school as early as possible Done, like a week ahead. 

•Blogs: I have decided to not make any more blog goals... I am not great at attaining them and really, they aren't as important as getting other things in my life accomplished.  Some days I just don't feel like blogging. 
◦Personal through September & Everyday in February
◦ 10 Crafty Blog posts for February
◦ 5 Photography Blog Posts

**In addition, John and I weeded a section of our yard and he built me two raised-bed garden boxes... something that had been on the To-Do list forEVER.  This was a major accomplishment and we are looking forward to planting our first garden this weekend!!**

Well that was fun.  If you take out the blogging goals, we accomplished six of nine.  Not, bad, but not great.  I do like this whole goal setting thing and plan on continuing....
