September Goals

 I spent quite a  bit of time in August planning and refocusing on my goals to accomplish the rest of the year (which was actually one of my August goals!).  I'm hoping to be a little more intentional with my time as well as more disciplined. I mean, I love curling up with a good book but also think I probably need to knock a few things off the to do list BEFORE I curl up with that book LOL  So, with that in mind, here are my September goals - which are a bit more specific then in months past.  (Or at least I feel like they are!)  Actually, I wrote a specific list for August-December.  As is normally the case, I did not finish all of the goals for August so I'm going to include those and note those accordingly. 

  1. Scrapbook Goals
    1. From August: 
      1. Finish scrapbooking February and March 2025
      2. Finish scrapbooking April, May and June 2011
      3. Put at least one month of memorabilia in an album (or have it ready) 
    2. From September
      1. Scrapbook April, May and June 2025
      2. Scrapbook July, August and Sept 2011
      3. Put at least one month of memorabilia in an album (or have it ready)

  4. Home Decluttering Goal
    1. August - Finish up the master - it is almost done
    2. September - the Kitchen
    3. I finished about 1/2 of my August 31 list so I am carrying it over into September so it is not a "August and September 31 list" HA!

  10. Co-Op Work
    1. Make sure that my Joyful classes are planned for September
    2. Work on clearing out documents that I know longer need for our group that our on my computer.  
    3. Since Google Office is not my friend - I want to get a thumb drive and move documents to that so that they are off my computer for the future.
  11. Piano Solos
    1. Work on It is Well with My Soul.  (The goal is to play this one in October)
    2. Work on an easier solo for September (need to choose)
  12. Visit the huge slide in Ravenna. 
    1. Plan a Family Activity (Q3) - I'm going to tie this slide into our plans; Maybe go to the slide and head to the lakeshore 
  13. Clean the outside of the windows - Joshua has already said he will help with this project (since he can climb the ladder with out fear . .. or fear of dying HA!) (From August)
  14. Organize the TV Stand Cords - Nate has said he would help with this project.  :-) (From August)
  15. Plan the Christmas Budget and get Christmas lists from the teenagers. (From August)
    1. Need to start ordering a few items as the budget allows
    2. Purchase tickets for the concert at Maranatha. 
  16. Figure out what it means to "eat Mediterranean" HA!  I put this in my 101-1001 goals so I figured I'd do some research and maybe plan some meals so that I can try to incorporate this idea.  (I said I would do it for one month so once I get it planned I can move forward with that!!) 
  17. Move my FIL's piano to Josh's room.  Technically I'm just the organizer of this plan.  Josh, Nate, Darryl, and a couple of Josh's friends actually have to move it! 
  18. Plan Josh's birthday - what will we do and the budget. 
  19. Repaint all of the white inside the house.  (Hopefully I can convince Josh and Nate to help paint LOL) 
  20. Memorize my September verse.  I am a few verse behind so my first goal is to get September's memorized.  Once that is down, I will work on a second one. 
  21. Read 2 non-fiction books.  Again, I'm behind on my 101-1001 overall goal but I'm hoping to start catching up on that goal. 
  22. Find at least one new soup, crock-pot, or appetizer recipe. 
  23. Finish at least 1/2 of this list! (My Favorite Goal every month LOL) 
  24. Ideas/Plans for September I hope to see happen:

    2. Maybe go to Anderson and Girls
    3. I have a choir Concert
    4. Our Family Adventure Day mentioned earlier in the list
