12 Days of My Birthday

Okay, so I'll be 25 in 12 days and I realized last night that I'm kinda scared to turn 25. Up until now, I've been playing it cool and acting like I have it all together, but **This Just In..." I DON'T! I'm actually rather unprepared. As a 25 year old, what will some of my new expectations and responsibilities be? Should I know what I want to do with my life? I don't. Should I have a certain amount of money in the bank? I definitely have a certain amount and that's it....lol...

I asked my self a question, "WHAT DO I WANT" and it's funny (not really) because I don't have a clue...but then again who does....maybe 26 year olds do....I know a lot of people are going to tell me that it's okay to not have a clue what you want to do, but then what do you do...(I'm a lil frustrated if you can't tell).

In that same journal, I wrote...."WHO AM I" I have a lot more answers to that question than the first and maybe seeing who I really think I am, will help me figure out what I want and who I want to be...

I'm thinking of a REINVENTION OF SHAREE. There are so many things I want to change, but I'm not sure how.......I've been taking small steps and that's a good place to start I guess.....

Can't wait until Christmas and then my bday and then it's 2010, just like that....oh my.....

12 DAYS LEFT!

To (say I'm gon) Do Tuesday

Okay, so my to-say I'm gon-do list is more about things I want to keep doing on a regular basis as opposed to just this week: I need you all to hold me accountable because otherwise, this will just be a lost post in a sea of archives! Ne way, here goes:

-Finish laundry for the week (spent an hour doing laundry last nite, but felt accomplished!)

-Figure what I have in the house that could double as a costume for Saturday's party (either use Jo's painting smock, paint brushes and an empty plate and be a starving artist, with a will paint for food sign, or use his cape and be bat girl and try to convice the Man to dress up as the joker!)

-Vacuum twice this week

√ Comment on at least 5 blogs a day or week (starting tonight) Crazy Adventures in Parenting, Kingdom First Mom, Flying Giggles and Lollipops, All because I fell in love, Eight Helping Hands

-Grandparent card with JoJo

-Go to the gym at least one day this week......and actually work out!

√ Not feel like a bad parent for letting JoJo watch movies while I'm on the computer

- Post give-a-way (hopefully it's not too late) from guy who emailed me a long time ago (that has to be bad blogger etiquette!)

-Finalize Thanksgiving day plans

-Review Christmas Journal (double check card lists and addresses)

√ Take 2 items off of my personal gift list

Okay, so that's it for this week.... I'll probably do more than just this list, but it'll be a good start..and I have to admit, I usually cheat and have Julio do some of the stuff...Vacuuming will be his task most likely

And now a word from our "To Do Tuesday" sponsor, Lisa over at Crazy Adventures in Parenting"

"Today's motivation - take care of yourself. Ensure you're drinking enough water. Eat well, and often (6 small meals instead of 3 big ones helps bolster your metabolism). Get moving every day, whether it's a walk, dancing, working out, be sure to have some activity in there. But take vitamins, and pump in some Vitamin C, Zinc, and echinacea to try to keep yourself well. I'm fighting with the sniffles right now (although I haven't completely ruled out allergies, with all the cleaning out I've done), but I shall prevail because of my arsenal. (Positive thinking helps, too). How about you? What do you use?"


Okay, so get to it...unless you want to come over and help me with my list! Toodles

Get'er Done

Joining Crazy Adventures in Parenting, and I love this thing she does called To-Do Tuesday, where you post your to-do list for the week and blog about it...she must be in my mind..hence my mom agenda! I LOVE IT...you can post any time of the week but link to on Tuesdays. emember, with "To-Do Tuesday", we're attacking our to-do lists each week, blogging about our lists and what we've got going on, and sharing it with each other to help keep each other accountable. Everyone should come back here to link up in the MckLinky as the central "To-Do Tuesday Hub" so we can visit who's participating and offer encouragement to each other throughout the week. Don't forget to add the "To-Do Tuesday" button to your post, linking back to your to do post!

Here's my to do list for this week:

Completely clear dining room table (DONE)

finalize October/November plans

Vacuum (DONE, plus carpets cleaned thanks to the Man!)

Make invite list for Candle Lite party(DONE)

Go to the gym(DONE)

Spend time with my sister and niece (Taco Friday!) (Spent whole wknd w/ lil sis!)

To Do Tuesday

Okay, so I didn't wash my hair last week, but I'll get to it by the weekend...I need it desperately and since $ is tight, it probably will be a Sharee the Stylist week (that's me, for those that don't know).

Anyway, I kinda have a lot to do, but it takes me a while before I actually start to do things and even longer before I get them done, so this is my to do list that I write on Tuesday and get done by the end of the week. I think that's realistic!

Here goes:

DO hair (yes, I have to remind and often Force myself)
Completely clear off dining room table and put red "fall" bowl out
Clean out red "fall" bowl before putting it on the table
Rearrange dining room mind you, this only consisted of chaning the position of the table
go to the gym by Friday
Make invites for HallowRead Party
VACUUM!!!!

Clean out Fridge Thanks to the guy...love him!
Email Akai (best friend in Germany)
Follow-up with jobs apps from last week Got an interview for 10/8!
Go to the gym AT LEAST once by Friday(just got a membership for $1 to join, $10/month and @29/year at Planet Fitness)
Set date for Hallow-Read party
Make invites for Hallow-Read Party
Send e-vites for Hallow-Read Party
Set up FB event page
Make and handout printed invites
Begin Christmas list and look up hand-made gifts at Tip Junkie

I'm on a roll!

Okay, so this list is very ambitious, but I think I may be able to do it........

My first bike

Okay so since I was a wee little child, I could ride my tricycle, which was Christmas gift, until I was about 6. Then I moved on to training wheels and eventually a two wheeler. All the little kids on the block loved my tricycle (which actually looked exactly like this one). I rode this thing all around the house, over toes and down the steps (not so successful!). What can I say...I lived on the edge....of my trike. Any way, kids today have a lot more choices than I had when it comes to recreational travel toys...take the Strider Running Bikes for example.

Five Minutes for Mom is giving away two Strider Running Bikes to two lucky winners. To win yours, visit Five Minutes for Mom and stop by their store page for Balance Bikes. Don't want to enter? You can buy one for $94.99.

I'm definitely entering, because we are having a heck of a time trying to teach JoJo to ride w/o his training wheels, and he insists on "just learning when he's older, like mommy."
