Personal Goals:

1. Lose another 3 lbs before vacation.--DONE

My goal is to do 24 layouts this year. I'll set a new goal once this one is met.

I have a tendency for setting goals & NOT completing them (self-sabatage, I think). So I am very happy to report that I've completed my goal for this year-24pages!!!! Here are a few more I didn't list, but have completed.
1) Before he deployed, I was determined to finish his military albulm through his time in Germany
2) I put all the photos I had on zip drives & SD cards on my computer.
3) Bought CM's digital program & ALL the Walt Disney digital stuff they sell. I downloaded all the free stuff they offer & the stuff I bought.
4) Created visual files for the digital things I have & want. This will make it so much easier to figure out what I have & what file its in.
5) Figured out how to add fonts to my computer (Thank you wonderful Disser who helped me) & added ones that will be perfect for my Disney albulms.

NEW GOALS:
1) Get hubby to finish journaling his pages.
2) Download all photos on CDs to my computer
3) Set up an online photo account to store my photos
4) Copy all photos to online account
5) Create a visual file for my fonts.
6) Finish DS1's 1st year book
7) Start DS2's 1st year book

I don't think I even made goals for April, so I'm going to make some for May!

Scrapping Goals:

1. Pics printed that are backlogged--included in this are PL for 3/27 on, Easter, my brother's bday, etc. (I have a master list)

2. Scrap Aug 2009-Nov 2009 in DS's Age 1 - Age 2 album--he's about to turn 3, and I need to not drown in the amount of pics/stuff I have

3. Organize papers/swap items & clean up room!

4. Make notes for April 2011 Disney album

5. Make sign for DNiece's bday


Personal Goals:

1. Lose 5-6 lbs

2. Keep a good attitude and deal with stress--it's testing month & graduation month at work, plus we have a lot of "internal" stuff going on there.

3. Keep house clean--disorder drives me crazy which is then more stressful!

4. More family time!!

Let's have an awesome May, everyone!!
