At work we do self-scheduling. Every month there is a calendar posted in the break room and we are supposed to fill out what we WANT our schedule to be for the next month by a certain date. Then our boss will take and finalize it, usually giving us what we want but not always. I have had the same schedule since I started working here, which looks something like this (repeating every two weeks): (OMG I could never be a graphic designer. It took me entirely too long to create this image and it made me want to throw my computer across the room.) Well last month I forgot to fill out the self-schedule calendar, so my boss did…

As far as homemaking goes, I may be a little behind the curve. Strengths: cleaning, organization, scrapbooking, getting the bills paid on time, and taking care of you if you’re sick. “Growth areas” (this is therapy speak): sewing, gardening, decorating, and COOKING. I am completely inexperienced with cooking, which at times makes me feel like less of a woman, or something. (I’m exaggerating, people.) Anyway, I know I’m not going to go from newbie to chef extraordinaire overnight, so I’m starting slow. Hence my goal #2, cook dinner once a week for a month. This is the meal I cooked on Friday, and hopefully I can follow it up for the next three Fridays to complete the goal. Honey Mustard…

Another easy goal out of the way! All I had to do for this one was shell out the $75 fee and get my paperwork together. It required me to mail in my old passport, and while I was not sorry to see that horrible picture go I was sorry to part with all the stamps I had acquired: Three examples: France, England, Ireland. Just the other day I got my new passport in the mail. All clean and blank and empty, full of potential. David has never been out of the country so I hope to take him one day. Oh, and they also mailed me my old passport back. :)

I decided to go on a random mini shopping trip after work last night and this is what I picked up: 1. Bath & Body Works foaming hand soap – I love foaming soaps. They make it so much easier to wash my hands. And I love these scents: Wild honeysuckle, sea island cotton, and rainkissed leaves. Only $3 each right now! 2. C.O. Bigelow everyday lip balm – I was in the market for a new petroleum based lip balm, and this looked like as good as any. $5, and so far I really like it. 3. Scentport home fragrance diffuser – Picked this up because it was on sale for $4, and who doesn’t love a fresh linen…

I am just knocking these goals out all over the place! Now I need to work on getting some more of the easy ones out of the way so I can get cracking on the time-consuming and difficult ones. Yesterday I was promoted! I knew that I would achieve this goal, because it happens after one year of employment. But it wasn’t just like all I had to do was stick around for a year. There was a very lengthy process involved before I was ready to have my evaluation. I’m so glad to have it behind me! Now I am officially a “clinical colleague”. The evaluation itself wasn’t too intimidating; all the work had been done previously. I had to rate myself in about…
