Monday 1-day Goal: Monthly Expenses

Clearly I'm still not back into my blogging stride after WEverb12.  Sorry about that.  But I did think of a Monday 1-day goal for today. 

I'm not sure what got me on this finances kick but I realized I don't know how much I spend each month on bills.  I venture to say I'm pretty good with money and am surprised I don't know even though I pay these bills every single month.  Well I refuse to not know any longer.  Today's goal is for me to get a better understanding of all of my monthly bills.  I'm not talking budget, at least not yet, so I'm not including things without a due date such as groceries, gas, etc.  I think I have an idea and will be really interest to see how far off, or close, I am.  I think this activity will also give me a better idea of how much money I have to "play" with each month on those other things, like the groceries and gas I mentioned but other things too. 

For some reason this activity makes me think:

Have a happy Monday!

Monday 1-day Goals: Goodbye Christmas

I think I want to start reoccurring blog "segments" (for lack of a better word).  These reoccurring "segments" will help guide my writing, though it still will not likely be an everyday thing.  I'll still throw in random blogs about whatever's going on, if something is going on, but otherwise I'll have something to fall back on.

I haven't really thought about what "segments" I want and kind of only thought of the idea on my way back from Starbucks a few minutes ago.  Mondays "segments" are going to be Monday 1-day goals.  These posts will be an opportunity for me to come up with a goal I can achieve on that specific Monday and hopefully get me feeling productive and ready for a great week.

Today's 1-day goal is to FINALLY take down our Christmas decorations and put them back in the attic.  I think this is the longest I have ever had my tree and decorations still up.  I always think houses look empty after the Christmas trees are put away but I'm also ready to have my house back in it's normal order.  I may take pictures, stay tuned to find out.
