Month in Review: January 2011

YAY! I remembered for January!

What books and/or magazines did I read this month?
Um, yeah, I got nothing.  I read Weight Watchers magazine and Cooking Light.

What movies, television shows, plays, etc. did I watch this month?
I've been watching a lot of "Criminal Minds" oddly enough.  I don't think we actually managed to watch any real movies except for the Uncensored episode of Family Guy that my husband got for Christmas...

What fun things did I do with my family and/or friends?
We did a lot with friends and family this month. DS has been playing indoor soccer and getting really good!  Last week, he scored 7 goals!  We had  a surprise baby shower for a family from base and also had to say goodbye to a good set of friends as they are dealing with a move and a deployment all at once. 
My family came down to a Thirty-One preview party this past weekend and it was a great time to visit and enjoy each others' company since we hadn't really had the chance since Christmas.

What gifts did I give and/or receive?
Spending my birthday with my husband and kids was all I needed as I turned 30 this month.  My mom sent me a milk frother and a beautiful Cinderella statue which my daughter immediately saw and wanted to admire. :)  And my dear friend sent us a wonderful box of Christmas and birthday goodies.  The kids loved their echo mirophones and my new notebook and penguin ornament were perfect. :)

What special or unusual purchases did I make?
Not a whole lot...  Saving up for next month!

What illnesses or health concerns did I have?
This month was a mess.  I finally had some blood work ran and it was "normal" and then I started having galbladder attacks/spams which put me in the ER and on pain meds for a while.  Add on a second root canal and crown and I'm just ready to feel better.

What were my accomplishments this month?
I finished DD's quilt and I also finished the first month of the P365!  I ran an 8 mile race and lost my first toe nail to running!  I also recruited 3 members to my Thirty-One team and am super excited to help them get Qualified and feel confident in their business opportunity!  I was also accepted to 2 new scrapping CT's- Jo Hanna Designs & Edeline Marta Designs, both at TwoPeasinaBucket.

What were my disappointments this month?
The insurance company really messed up and told me the wrong insurance dates so I may be out of pocket for my root canal and crown.  And my tooth/mouth still is sensitive to hot and cold.  Bummer...

How did I do on my goals for the month?
Pretty good, all things considered.  Didn't get a book read, but you know, no big deal.

Anything else noteworthy to include?
The kids are thrilled about our upcoming trip next month.  We are too.  We are ready to get out of this cold!  Tonight, they are calling for at least half an inch of ice and it's already started!  And last month, there were 2 early release days on base due to snow.  It's been really yucky weather wise.  DS keeps asking if it's time for Spring yet and I couldn't agree more!  He's also been asking about family... if someone is still family when they aren't in our house with us.  And it's breaking my heart knowing we'll have to tell him soon that our family will be apart for a while.  I'm excited to find ways to try and keep us close but I know it'll just not be the same.  So for now, enjoy today!
