Thursday This 'N That - 2 June 2016



My daughter made this on her drawing program (she has a thing for clocks):

Thanks to L. Diane Wolfe, Murees Dupe, Alexia Chamberlynn, Chemist Ken and Heather Gardner for being this month's co-hosts!

This was supposed to have been up yesterday, but the day kind of got away from me.  So here I am.

I wrote 33 posts in May, which was down from my high in April of 54 ... but there's something that happens in April each year that seems to up my total of blog posts for the month.  Hmmm.. ;)

My concern is that I still haven't set aside a regular time to write, and specifically not set aside time for non-blog-related writing.  And how am I supposed to strengthen my writing chops when I don't have a regular time to work?  Y'know how they say the road to h-e-double-toothpicks is paved with good intentions?  Well, I must be on that road...it's a steep downward grade and my brakes are out.  That is what it feels like. Ugh.

MAY 2016 GOALS REVIEW

PERSONAL
  • go to the dentist (I've been putting this off because I have dentistophobia big time.)  UGH.  I totally blew this one. :/
MARRIAGE
  • celebrate our 19th anniversary on the 9th! HUZZAH!
FAMILY
  • trim the number of furry family members by at least 5.  FOUND FOREVER HOMES FOR 3.
SPIRITUAL
  • choose one of the nearby churches to attend  LINCOLN COUNTY MENNONITES about 1/2 to 1 mile down the road from us.
PROFESSIONAL
  • learn to start a virtual book tour company/site.  I HAVE BRAINSTORMED ABOUT THINGS TO DO.
WRITING
  • dedicate some time to writing each day and stick to it at least 4 days out of every 7.  NEAR EPIC FAIL.
Wow...not nearly as good as I had hoped, but not nearly as bad as it could have been either.  For a first month, I'll take it.

JUNE 2016 GOALS

PERSONAL
  • make an appointment with the dentist.
MARRIAGE
  • Have a date with my husband.
FAMILY
  • Have one non-computer based family get-together per week (she says while typing this on the computer).
PROFESSIONAL
  • Contact one virtual book tour company each week to compare notes.
WRITING
  • Write 500 words/day, at a 'usual time' would be nice but I'm concentrating on a certain volume of writing rather than a schedule this time around.

  1. I like your daughter's little creation. It's as good as any graphics I have seen.

    I don't seem to have a regular time for anything except for going to work.

  3. Great goals! Going to the dentist isn't fun, but you'll be so glad when it's over!
