Another week with little to no progress. I pretty much just need to focus at this point and do something. That being said, here's another account of my complete lack of progress.

  1. Update the blog. Late as usual, but here I am.
  2. Get the new job. Back on overnights again this week. It's been okay, other than the fact that the other overnight manager quit my first night. Nothing else too notable happened on that front.
  3. Room cleaning. Still laughable. Hopefully I'll find the time to put my walls back up this week. No promises though.
  4. Lose weight. Right around where I was last week.
  5. Going to the gym. Wow, twice in one week... that's better than I've done for awhile.
  6. Old books and clothes. Not so much.
  7. Swear less. I don't think I did too bad this week. 
  8. Dance practice. Well, I went to dance practice. No one showed up which was disappointing. Two people had said they would attend, but then one cancelled and the other person thought it was off because the other person had cancelled. Of course, I didn't actually check my email between find out two people were coming and actually leaving for dance. Lesson learned.
Not much else is new, other than the fact that I am super happy that TV is back.

Now, it seems like posting videos at the end has become a bit of a theme. I really wanted to post 'It's not unusual' from Glee because I've watched it numerous times but I actually can't find a good version of it on YouTube. Instead, I will post a performance of what is becoming my favourite song.
Sorry Colette, couldn't resist....

Wow, I left this one really late. Not much new happened this week. Oh, season premieres, yay!! Anyway, without further ado, here's how it went...spoiler alert: no real progress was made.

  1. Update this blog. Almost didn't happen, but here I am. 38 weeks down, 14 to go.
  2. New job. Not much to report, just more manager training. I also went to my first manager meeting.
  3. Room cleaning. Ok, this is getting laughable.
  4. Lose weight. I am back down 5 pounds. It may have something to do with me not eating a whole lot of food right before I weigh myself though.
  5. Going to the gym. Heh, heh, heh. Didn't happen this week either, whoops!
  6. Old books and clothes. No news here either.
  7. Swear less. I think I was better on this front at least.
  8. Dance practice. Didn't happen this week. Only one person would have been able to go, and there was a storm. 
See, I told you there was not real progress.

Let's see, this week I watched my season two 'Community' DVDs. I still love this video.

This week has been a bit of a change. I have been working day shifts all week, which I haven't actually done in a few years. In fact, Tuesday was the first day in two years that I started work before noon. It was pretty busy all week too. Next week, it's back to overnights again. Yippee!!

Let's see how I did this week with the whole resolution thing.

  1. Updating this blog. Late again, but here I am. 37 down, 15 to go.
  2. New job. So as I mentioned before, I am working during the day right now because I am training to be a manager. So that's happening. I also had a phone interview on Friday with an airline company for a Customer Service type position. I should know more in a week or two.
  3. Room cleaning. Not so much.
  4. Lose weight. About the same as last time.
  5. Going to the gym. With the mixed up schedule, I actually didn't make it last week. I will try to do better about it this week.
  6. Old books and clothes. Yeah, that didn't happen either.
  7. Swear less. I don't think I've been swearing as much. I know that I am more careful of what I say at work when I am working during the day.
  8. Dance practice. I had dance practice last week. It went okay I think. Not a big turn out. 
So not a great week for resolutions, hopefully this week will be better.

In other news, I thought I would share one of the songs I have not been able to get out of my head for the last week. A version of it is in the Harry Potter musical I was going on about last week. Darren Criss also sings his own version of it (he wrote it). Anyway, I really like it. So here it is, it's called 'Not Alone'.

Woohoo!!

Happy Labour Day long weekend everyone!! This week was pretty uneventful, in general, apart from me finding a new obsession. I get more into it after I relate my progress. So how did I do? Let's see...
  1. Updating this blog. 36 out of 36. Yay!!
  2. Get a new job. Well, I got  a promotion at work. I start training to be a manager on Tuesday. I actually have to work during the day, so that will be a change.
  3. Room cleaning. Same ol', same ol'. My wall is still pretty much down. Plan on putting it back up soon. Haven't really determined the source of the leak though.
  4. Lose weight. Pretty much the same as it was last week. 
  5. Going to the gym. I went to the gym twice last week. So, the same as usual. I have to figure out when I want to go this week since my work schedule is all mixed up.
  6. Old books and clothes. No progress there.
  7. Swear less. I don't think I swore more, but I don't think I necessarily swore less either.
  8. Dance practice. I led practice last week. I think it went well, though I do have to work on how to teach moves to other people.
So, this week I watched 'A Very Potter Musical' on YouTube. It's a college musical starring Darren Criss, who joined the cast of 'Glee' in Season 2. I also ended up watching some of the other plays done by the same theatre company, 'Starkid'. They also did 'A Very Potter Sequel' and an unrelated musical called 'Starship'. I've really enjoyed them all. I've pretty much had the songs in my head for the last week. Anyway, here's part one of 'A Very Potter Musical'.
