Wow this one is crazy late. But here I am. How did I do? Not really all that good. But here goes.

  1. Updating the blog. Super duper late but here I am. 42 down, 10 to go. Wow!
  2. New job. Yeah, I still haven't really caught up with my Peter's New Jobs emails. I will try again this week. 
  3. Room cleaning. Not much happened in this area this week.
  4. Lose weight. I am pretty much where I was last week.
  5. Going to the gym. I went twice again this week. Yay me!!
  6. Old clothes and books. So um...moving on.
  7. Swear less. I certainly haven't been swearing more. I actually did pretty good I think.
  8. Dance practice. Dance classes started this week. So yay! Actual structured classes. FTW. I might be performing at a show in December so will start learning a choreography in the next couple weeks. Yay!
Anyway, not much else is new. Colette made a 'Black Forest Cake' for her friend's birthday last weekend. It was soooo good. I pretty much devoured the half of the cake that was leftover over the next couple days. Man it was good. Anyway, that's really about it.

Wow, I am doubtful that these posts will ever be on time again. One can dream, I guess. I really just want to sleep but I am going to do this before I do. Anyway, here's how I did this week.
  1. Update this blog. 41 down, 11 to go. Holy crap..
  2. Get a new job. No forward momentum on this front. The task for this week will be to actually read the Peter's New Jobs emails I get everyday rather than just let them sit there.
  3. Room cleaning. Yay, I have walls again. They somehow didn't fit together the way they did before, but they are up. So, progress!!
  4. Lose weight. I am a few pounds down this week so Yay!!
  5. Going to the gym. I went twice this week, so that's good.
  6. Old books and clothes. Moving on...nothing to see here.
  7. Swear less. Still swearing but I don't think it was any worse than any other week.
  8. Dance practice. I did put on music and just danced around a couple times. It wasn't practice really but I had fun, and it was more than I did many other weeks. 
Anyway, this week I finished the book 'Everything I know about love, I learned from Romance Novels' by Sarah Wendell, of the website 'Smart Bitches, Trashy Books'. I really enjoyed the book. It was quite amusing and it actually got me thinking. It also got me to read a book by an author I had never read anything by. There was an excerpt from the book 'Bet Me' by Jennifer Crusie which intrigued me. I ended up reading that book  and I really enjoyed it as well. So it was a good book reading weekend. Yay!

Wow, the last few months have just flown by. It's already October...crazy!! Anyway, let's see what happened this week, shall we?
  1. Update the blog. Here I am again. 40 posts. Wow...
  2. New job. So last week was my first week as the only manager on the overnight. It went okay. There was one not so good day, but over all it was good. No news about the job I had the the telephone interview for, so that's slightly disappointing.
  3. Room cleaning. Didn't happen. Will really try to get the walls put up this week. Fingers crossed.
  4. Lose weight. I am the around same as I was last week so that's good.
  5. Going to the gym. I only made it there once this week. I will try to do better next week.
  6. Old books and clothes. Not so much.
  7. Swear less. Probably a bit more than the week before. I definitely started swearing more again once I started back on overnights. 
  8. Dance practice. I stopped holding the dance practices. It was not really well attended and people would commit and then wouldn't show. It ended up being more of a hassle than I really wanted it to be. My teacher will be back soon so that will help with the practice situation. Though I probably should practice on my own.
Not much else has happened this week. I went to see the movie "50/50" which I enjoyed. It's about a guy who finds out he has cancer and his journey. 

Anyway, have a good week!!

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'.
