Another item off the list, and upcoming month long goals

This last weekend I spent the weekend in Seattle with my friends!  It was a great weekend.  I saw both of my parents, my former coworkers, and my very closest friends!

One of the things on my list was "a girls weekend in Seattle"  and now it's done! It was so wonderful that I'll probably have to do it again soon!  

next up... there are two month long challenges on my list.  

1.  not to buy any books for a month.  

Now for most people that's not a big deal, but for those of you who know me, you know I can hardly make it through Target without a book.  (I will confess, I've already purchased probably 7 books this month alone - but 4 of those were overstock sales for less than $5 each).  but  it is one of my goals to try to make it an entire month without purchasing a book.  And I think the month is going to be April. There's only one book on my list of wants that is coming out in April, and it's coming out on the 28th... I bet I can make it til May to buy it.  So we'll see how it goes.

2. read cnn.com (or another online news source) every day for a month.

I am very out of it when it comes to what's going on in this state, let alone the country or the world.  So it's my goal to try to bring myself up to date a little by reading the news every day for a month.  Now this is not to say that I currently never read the news, but I will admit most of my news is of the celebrity variety, entertainment stuff and who's dating who(m?).  So I figured since I'm giving up books for April, maybe I can add in news instead. 

I'll let you know how it goes...
