Thirteen Things about LINDSEY

I’m back to Thursday Thirteen-ing! Yay!!!

1. Since I withdrew from grad school, I need to get a job. And I have no idea where to start, cause I thought I wouldn’t be doing this search for another 8 months. Any ideas? Know of any jobs in North Carolina?

2. Now that I’m not going to school every day, I’ve got a lot more time on my hands, and I’ve been accomplishing a lot at home. I’ve sorted through a lot of things and I’ve gotten a lot of cleaning done.

3. With that free time I managed to buy ALL my Christmas presents! As in, I’m done! Unless something pops up last minute, my presents are finished.

4. I’ve also gotten all my Christmas cards addressed - still haven’t written them, but the addressing is done.

5. And since I’m updating on my life and goings on, I should mention that I’ve made progress on my 101 in 1001! Today I am 32.47% through with the time, and I’ve completed 37.62% of my tasks. I’m pretty excited about that! Since I last posted about the 101, here are the things I’ve finished:

6. I completed #2 - regularly updating my faith blog, Reading Red Letters. I would still like to update more often, but I have been doing well thus far, and hopefully it will continue to be this way!

7. My brother Bo is a freshman in college, and #7 on my list was keeping in touch with him. Not only have we kept in touch, but we see each other fairly often - once every other week or so. It’s been great, I’m so glad that he’s up here!

8. I’ve also got #14 down - I’m regularly flossing, LOL!

9. And regularly taking my vitamins (#16).

10. Well, #28 was to set up a new place to live after graduation, but now that I’m not in school, I guess that I completed that one back in July, LOL!

11. With my new budget I’ve maintained saving $5 a day (#32) - hint, I take it out of my account as soon as I get my check.

12. #49 was to maintain cleaning apartment at least once a month. Now I have FlyLady. ‘Nuff said. (P.S. - you should ALL be FLYing!)

13. One of the best things about living with Matt and Ben is that Matt is very into politics, and he knows that in general I am not an idiot, so I can ask as many stupid politics questions as I want and he won’t judge me. So I ask them all the time - check off #51!

Are there things that you aim to do every day, but have trouble remembering? Need help keeping track of your goals? There’s a REALLY cool website that I found today called Joe’s Goals!

Basically, you think of things that you want to do (exercise, make your bed, etc.) and things you DON’T want to do (eating out, biting your nails, etc.) and you enter them all in! You get a point for all the good things and you get a negative point for all the bad things. And you can even write down specifics through the logbook feature.

It’s kind of hard to explain, but if you look at it, you’ll know EXACTLY what I’m talking about! So go take a look!

Here’s the link to mine if you want to take look:

Easy and visual goal tracking? Works for me!
