Every year Laura at Hollywood Housewife hosts something she calls One Day, in which people all over the world post pictures of their activities on instagram. I’m the kind of person who appreciates it when people leave their curtains open at night so I can peek in (in a totally non-creepy way, of course) as I drive past, so One Day is right up my alley. I don’t normally leave my curtains open at home — did you know there are weirdos out there who peek in your windows while they’re driving past? — but I did participate in One Day this year. Here’s a little of what we did yesterday:
The inimitable Jasmine Banks frequently asks people to share their Intentions For The Week on Facebook, and then on Friday she follows up with a “How’d You Do?” I very rarely (if ever) join in the conversation — because of fear of failure and all that — but I always enjoy reading other people’s goals and successes. I don’t know if I’ll join in on Jasmine’s thing this week, but I thought I’d jot a few Intentions down here just to see if it encourages me to go forth and accomplish.
Intentions, Best-Laid Plans and So Forth
Floss every day this week. I had a pretty solid flossing game going for awhile, but I’ve slacked off. The morning floss propels me to achieve more in a day, I think. That sounds really dumb when I write it out, but it’s true.
Keep notes on our homeschooling activities so I can actually write a post about it for Friday.
Make/eat the following meals for dinner.
Monday: BLAs and french fries
Bacon and avocado make everything better.
Tuesday: Chicken tenders
Cracker Barrel style!
Wednesday: Fried chicken
Pete has been asking if we could go to our local fried-chicken emporium for about a month now. He’ll be happy Wednesday night.
Thursday: Chicken tacos
All hail the slow cooker. Especially on the weeks when we have soccer carpool duty.
Friday: Pizza
Since we’re eating out on Wednesday, it’ll be homemade.
Right now I intend to eat a banana whilst trying not to imagine it’s chock-full of baby spiders. (As if I didn’t already loathe bananas enough.)
Do you find it helpful to set weekly goals? What’re you aiming for this week?
An acrostic poem is one where the first word of every line spells something. Like this:
11/28/13
this is just to say: i stuffed a lot of butter
underneath that turkey’s skin, and I’m
really hoping it’s a delicious dish. the
kids will probably just eat mac ‘n’ cheese.
even though that turkey’s the butteriest.
you know that’s right.
And that, friends, is the last poem I’ll be writing for the foreseeable future.
