100 Stars

That is how many stars I had to stick to a poster board with Malachi. Tuesday is his 100th day of Kindergarten and he had to make a poster board of 100 things or 10 things of 10 items. He picked foam sticker stars and I had to do do must of them because he couldn't peel the paper off the back. He did them in a design of the number 100. Then he spray painted over with silver glitter. If I never see another foam star I wouldn't care. It wasn't too bad, I love helping him with school since he isn't here during the week but 100 stars can be a little too much.

My Goals

We all make goals this time of year of what we want to accomplish before the end of the year but the other day I thought of some long term goals I want to accomplish by a certain time. I may add to this list down the road when I am not so tired but for now here is what I have.

1. I want to be renting a house not an apartment no later than 5 years from now in the country outside of Houston.

2. In 10 years I want to be buying or have bought my first home.

3. 4 years from now I want to be graduating with my MBA.

4. Christmas 2008 I want to be taking Malachi to Disney World for the holidays.

5. 5 years from now I want to own a newer car at least a 2000 model.

6. 10 years from now I want my student loans paid off and my credit reports clean.

7. 6 years from now I want to be married to the man of my dreams.

8. 6 years from now I want to take Malachi to England and Ireland.

9. 7 years from now I want to take Malachi to Italy and Germany.

10. Within 12 years I want to take many vacations across the United States.

11. Within 10 years I want to be a successful accountant.

FOTM Is Here!!!!!!!!

I started getting FOTM again this month and I am getting it from Enchanted Fabrics. I am getting two 9x15 painted 28ct Monoco pieces. After this month shipping is free and all I pay is $4! I definitely can find something to give up to afford that every month. I hope to be able to do it through at least May and then pick back up once I get settled in Houston. My fabric box is going to be so happy getting these two stunning pieces. This month I got Raindrop and a limited edition piece Enchanted Hearts. I think I know what I am going to use Raindrop for but Enchanted Hearts is going to take some thinking, maybe a romantic Valentine piece perhaps.

The New Eating Plan

Well after eating my new way, I feel like a new person. Not feeling like I was after eating red meat and milk. So I am hoping that if I continue to eat this way I will even feel better in another week. I am finding it quite easy to eat this way and so far don't miss the red meat or milk. Malachi was a little confuesed by my new eating plan but he now knows that cows make me sick like stawberries do him. He really liked the sloppy joes with Morning Star crumbles and said that they tasted just like real sloppy joes. He wants me to make Hamburger Helper next time with it, I may do that or use ground turkey whatever fits in the budget for that week.
