Course 2 Finale Cake

I finished the Wilton Course 2 today. I am really proud that I have learned these new techniques. Unfortunatley on the way home while driving one of the walls on the back side of the cake was to heavy. So I lost a few inches of icing. But, Oh well!

Goals

So I picked 4 goals for April. I thought that it would be a good idea to make some goals, post them and then see how I follow through. Well April wasn't such a good month for these goals... But there is always next time.
1. Get to the gym a minimum of 2 days a week
This was not completed! I really had a hard time getting there.


2. Transfer money from my paycheck weekly into my personal savings account
I did this and then had some car issues. So that money was used

3. Empty & organize the spare bedroom closet
This was DONE!!! Yay! We got rid of some items that were just taking up space.

4. Read 3 books (2 for book club and 1 personal reading choice)
I did this! I liked most of them, and have reviewed the books on my Book List Blog
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
The Pact
The Red Tent

Rangers Game 7 Tonight

Rangers are playing the seventh Game of Round 1 of the playoffs tonight. Now they should have already been done with this series twice, but some bad skating, shooting and defense killed that. Tonight I will be home with my husband and maybe a few friends to watch Game 7. FINGERS CROSSED!!! LETS GO RANGERS!

Office Envy

I love this office. I saw it today on Freckels Chick's Blog.

What a week!

Greg and I took a 3 day trip to the MGM Grand at Foxwoods, then to Boston, Mass., last week. It was great to get away and almost disconnect from reality. We were lucky that Thursday and Friday we had beautiful weather.
We went to a NY Rangers Viewing Party at Foxwoods and lost $45. gambling. However we are not used to being around all the cigarettes smoke, which although we had a smoke free room, it lingered through our air vents. ((yuck!))

In Boston we toured some of our favorite shopping spots. We had lunch outside on a street corner, and went to a Contemporary Art Museum, so that Greg could see one of his favorite artist works. We ended the day at Tommy Doyle's, a bar in Harvard Square for some amazing fish.

Saturday we came back home. Driving for 5 hours through the rain, just was not fun. LOL. We were home for Easter and were able to see both of our families. Also, we dressed up my car for the holiday!

April Goals

At the start of the year most people including myself make resolutions and goals. I have re-visited the goals I set for the year and thought about what I have seen on another blog: TheWorkingWomansGuidetoDomesticSuccess.blogspot.com
This blogger has monthly goals and task for her home. She re-visits these goals at the end of the months to see what was accomplished or unfinished, then starts new goals for the following month.
I decided to adapt that to my life and blog and give myself some goals to work at.
1. Get to the gym a minimum of 2 days a week
2. Transfer money from my paycheck weekly into my personal savings account
3. Empty & organize the spare bedroom closet
4. Read 3 books (2 for book club and 1 personal reading choice)
Simple, yet easy beginning goals.

Busy Bee

I haven't updated in a week and that stinks.
I will get back on it soon!
