I don’t know if Thursday Thirteen is still around, but I am doing a Thursday Thirteen this week anyways.  We are heading out of town in a couple of days for vacation and I have a bunch of stuff to get done before we go, so I thought I’d make a list to keep myself organized.

1. Pay the bills for this week and next week.
2. Do the laundry and actually put it all away.
3. Clean the house.
4. Vacuum the house.
5. Pack Hailey’s stuff.
6. Pack my stuff.
7. Nag Ask Rich until he finally packs his own stuff.
8. Pack all of the other stuff.
9. Get Dottie’s stuff ready to go stay with my parents.
10. Stop the mail.
11. Get Hailey’s birthday party invitations ready so I can mail them out when we get home.
12. Return DVDs and books to the library.
13. Check-in for our flight online to save money on checking our bags.

Guess it’s time to stop blogging and get busy!!

I have decided for my Thursday Thirteen this week that I would take a look back at my Thursday Thirteen goals for 2009 to see how I’m doing so far.  My response to my original goal will be in italics.

1. I need to reach my goal weight. I have 14 more pounds to lose.  Ummmm- I still have 14 pounds to lose.  But at least I haven’t gained.
2. Exercise every week. Notice I said every week, not every day.  I haven’t exercised once this year.
3. No more “googling” health related questions- whenever I do this I end up finding information that scares me to death.  I’ve done pretty good with this.  I think I’ve only done this twice.
4. Keep in touch with friends- I’ve lost touch with some good friends.  This is a work in progress.
5. Take a weekend trip with Rich.  Done!  We had a great time.
6. Find some friends- I need to have a few friends in real life.  Nope- still no friends.
7. Move- I really want to move back to our home town. We need to stop talking about it and just do it!  My house is for sale!  So this should be happening soon.
8. Cook healthier meals for my family- I need to stop throwing things together at the last minute.  I’ve been much better about creating a weekly menu and sticking to it.
9. Be better about commenting on blogs. I’ve been such a slacker with my commenting lately.  I’ve been responding to everyone who leaves me a comment by leaving them a comment.
10. Scrapbook! I’ve been collecting things to make a scrapbook for Hailey since before she was born. And I need to just start working on it.  Not yet.
11. Read. I love to read books and I used to always have one I was reading. Now it seems like there isn’t time. But I need to start reading again.  Not yet.
12. Go to bed earlier. No more staying up until 12 or 1 every night.  I’ve been getting into bed between 11 and 11:30 most nights.
13. Get dressed every day. I think I’d feel better about myself if I didn’t spend so much time in sweatpants.  Done!  I have been getting dressed every single day!

This weeks list is going to be really exciting!!  I know you’ll be on the edge of your seats reading my list this week.

1. Cheez-It Twisterz… Have you had these yet?  They are soooo yummy!  And they are definitely Hailey’s new favorite snack.
2. Pudding- another one of Hailey’s favorite snacks.  Really, the snacks are for Hailey, not me.
3. Milk
4. Bananas
5. Broccoli
6. Beef
7. Bread
8. Chili ingredients
9. Soda
10. Chips
11. Cheese
12. Macaroni and Cheese
13. Hot chocolate Mix

Exciting list, huh?  If you want a more exciting list next week I’m going to need some good topic suggestions from you!
