June Goals

After a peaceful weekend off of work (my last one for a couple of months) I woke up today with a renewed outlook on my life, again.  I was able to take the weekend to relax and focus on finding out where I want to put some energy into and where I need to pay less attention to.


We only get one today.  We can spend it any way we want.  We can dwell on the past, plan for the future, or spend it in the moment.  I have my moments when each are important to me, but for now I have decided that I want to focus on the day at hand.  I need to take any time that I have to do something that I want to accomplish.  It may be large or small, but in the end I just need to get up and go!  I have been reading some new books lately and I have been learning a lot about myself in the process.  Things I have been scared of, vacations I want to take, habits I want to teach myself, as well the importance of being unique.  


This month I have decided that I need to be more deliberate in my planning and that I need to make more of an effort to complete my goals, and strive to do even more with my time and energy.






Here are my goals for June.
Re-commit to the Money Saving Mom's 4 Weeks to Organized Challenge
Try 1 New Recipe Each Week, Including Homemade Pizza Pockets
Listen to at Least 1 Audio Book
Read 2 Books, Hopefully 1 of them is 50 Shades of Grey, I keep hearing Wonderful Things!
Spend More Time with Friends and Family, and My "Little"
Continue Towards My Survey Earnings Goal of $1,000 (I am hoping to Hit It this Month!)
Move to a Complete Cash Budget (Except for Gas in My Car...I hate Going In!)


While I continue to plan for the future, mainly because I love to plan, I do know that no one can tell us what tomorrow is going to bring.  However, I would rather be prepared for what it may be, instead of waking up one day and not being prepared when I had time to get my life together.  I am aiming to focus on saving money, learning new traits, and cherishing moments as they come.

Learning about Catering, and Myself!

Last week I was in Las Vegas, attending CaterSource Catering Convention. I learned so many things about myself, my work, and the people that I am surrounded by.  Some good and some bad, but all have helped me to realize more of what I want for my life. Over the last year I have realized how important it is to take the time to make these realizations.  I need to know the my strengths so I can keep them going.  I need to know my weaknesses so that I can work them.  I also need to know my goals.  Even if they are ever-changing goals, I still need to know them.  If I am walking through my days just hoping for the best then I never know if I get anywhere. I have realized that as much as I used to love doing surveys that I have now found them to tedious.  I would much rather be part of focus groups and interviews.  Not only do they make more money for my time investment, but they also do not take constant attention, whether it be daily or weekly.

A Week of Golf

In 2017 my team was tasked with exciting job of catering to the LPGA Marathon Classic for their week long golf tournament here in town.  We had less then 4 months to prepare, and we had never done anything on such a large scale before.  It was both exhilarating and terrifying, especially for an Enneagram 6 like me.  We are loyal and committed, but our biggest needs are security, and we fear not having the support and guidance needed.  What a way to walk into a task like this.   I was suddenly tasked with finding organizations to fill close to 200 shifts for concession stands, as well as around 75 employees to help me make this event a reality.  It took a lot of time, planning, questions, stress, and a roller coaster of emotions, but we did it!  It was amazing the feeling that you have after you accomplish something like that. Since then we have continued to receive this job each July, and each year has gotten a little easier.  We have ha...

Weekly Menu Plan

This week has already been changed around again and again from my husband being in town, to leaving, to coming home early, to leaving again, so the menu plan has been changing, but that is the great thing about having food in the pantry & freezer! Since I didn't get around to making "Cheese" Soup last week, I made it last night.  While it was an interesting batch of ingredients, it turned out to be quite delicious!  I will post my version of the recipe tomorrow! This week we plan to eat at work everyday for lunch, or to finish up leftovers from the fridge, so even less menu planning! For dinners I am making the following: Taco Salads "Cheese" Soup Loaded Nachos Steamed Vegetables and Crescent Rolls (My husband can live on vegetables alone!) This month is busy at work, and I am having company this weekend, and traveling next weekend so I won't be doing any freezer cooking for a little while, but I am hoping to do a few large freezer cooking s...
