(Stolen Idea) May Goals

My friend and former roomie Natalie does this every month and I have always wanted to give it a whirl.
She always does one goal for each day and I like that.
So for May I will only make 13 since I am getting a late start.

1. Clean out and organize large hall closet (gotta make room for my new Pampered Chef loot).
2. Exercise at least five days per week.
3. Take vitamins everyday.
4. Read a little everyday.
5. Go to the beach.
6. Cook dinner every night (except date nights).
7. Walk the dogs everyday.
8. Beat my record on Sudoku.
9. Clean out the garage.
10. Do not let any produce go bad.
11. Fill up a new photo album.
12. Clean out trash can and recycle buckets.
13. Clean out Milly.

There, now if I do all of those things I will feel very good about myself.
Maybe having others to hold me accountable will help.

I hate bad moods.

Ever have one of those days when you just feel sorry for yourself?
I hate it.
I know I am doing it and yet I can't shake it.
Not even a good trip to Target fixed it.
Maybe I need some chocolate?
I am determined to put an end to this pity party!
I have floors to clean and we all know floors do not get cleaned when we are in a bad mood.

24!

That is how many hours I took this semester.
I had to take them at two different universities because they would not approve my course load at OU.
BUT I did it!
So nah-ne nah-ne boo boo OU!

I have had such a great weekend.
Pampered Chef party on Friday.
Neighborhood graduation party complete with cornhole on Saturday.
And we are about to go on a girls only movie date tonight.

It really helps to have such great friends when you live so far away from your family.
I didn't get to walk at my graduation but my friends really made it fun for me.

Here are two of my favorite pics from this weekend!
I still cannot believe that Rachel and Erin made this cake from scratch!
Even the tassles were edible!

I can't believe it!

I graduate on Friday!
It may have taken me 10 years but I did it!
I feel pretty great about myself right now :)

Update on My Life.

Let's see.

I think I will start with a school update.

Things standing between me and graduation:
19 Homework assignments
2 Exams

I have 8 days to complete those.
Better get to it, right?

This weekend I am throwing a baby shower for my friend Rachel.
I have never thrown one so I have been a little lost but thankfully my other neighbors have volunteered to pitch in.
I hope to take pictures, let's see if I remember.

Ryan just finished his annual flight exam (thing, don't really know).
He passed like we knew he would.
He went to bed early with a horrible headache, he didn't even have a Cinco de Mayo beer.
That tells you how bad it must be.

Next Friday is my Pampered Chef party and I am excited.
I have already picked out all of the goodies I "need".
I am also happy because lots of my friends here in Hawaii are going to come.
I was afraid no one would want to come and then I would be embarassed.
Thank goodness I have so many good friends here.
If you want to order something online just make sure you do it before the 17th!!

That is about all that is going on right now.
Can't wait for Mom & Dad Holz to get here.
Only one more month!!

!!!!!!!!

I submitted the rough draft of my thesis to my advisor on Sunday and I got this email from here today!

Mary,



I have read over your paper carefully. It is interesting, well written and correctly documented. I do not feel it needs any additions or revisions. I will be sending your paper and a Grade of "A" to the college today. Thanks for all of your hard work.


Clara

Holy cow!! I thought for sure she would make me revise it! I am so happy :)

Such a relief!

I turned my senior thesis in to my advisor today.
Now I just have to pray she thinks it is good stuff.

I am sooooo excited to be done!
