These are good goals! You can do it. It sounds like your friend needed you and it always feels so good to be there for someone when they reach out for you. It is hard to get back on track when your schedule has been altered, so I completely understand that! Good luck with your goals -- can't wait to hear how you do with them!!!

Great goals! I set up a very basic menu plan - Mondays: Mexican, Tuesdays: something special (its my day off, so I can be creative, try new recipes and have time to cook), Wednesdays: pasta, Thursdays: pizza, Fridays: Sandwiches, Saturday: husbands choice, Sundays: something on the grill. Next I have a list of 4 or more things that fit into each days plan along with the recipes that go with them. Then, all have to do is rotate those recipes and wha-la! my menu creates itself!

good blog

I am disappointed in myself. This weekend I did not get hardly anything accomplished:
*good grocery store trip
*started cooking beans (not finished)
*got hair cut
*went to FPU class (see previous blog for info/link)
Above I stated: "Got hair cut".
Three simple words, right?
Thousands of people get hair cuts everyday, right?
No problem, and by the way this is a minor thing, right?
I would just rather be beat than get my haircut. For the last 5 years I've had very bad haircuts, my last hair cut was on Memorial Day 2010, by a little inexperienced twit who thought she knew everything and wouldn't listen to me. For some reason, the words I say for the last 5 years, don't translate into what I want. Not just with the twit, so yes the common denominator is me. Yes I'm aware of that. I haven't changed my words, my hairstyle hasn't changed, BUT SOMETHING HAS CHANGED because THOSE WORDS DON'T WORK ANYMORE. What's a person to do? And just exactly how hard can this be????? So I had dreaded going back and it had grown out waaaaaaay too long. Labor Day was 3 months. Despite the issues and frustration and bad cut last time, I needed my hair cut and looking decent in case I ever get an interview or a job. And for everyday ordinary self esteem.
So after cruising the net for hours last week I finally found, saved to my desktop, and printed out different head shots of hairstyles. Each one lacked something though, so I couldn't find what I wanted so I had to print out FIVE. This is simply amazing to me, for my boring, nothing - special haircut. I guess this is part of the deal of getting older. And why the young people who are hair stylists can't imagine what it is I want. I don't think of myself as "almost 50" until something like this happens.
So this time for the hair cut I've been dreading, I walked in armed with the 5 black and white printout of photos, plus when I went in I told the young girl who was at the front taking names, told her right off the bat, "I want someone with ALOT of experience, AT LEAST 10 years, at a minimum." (I NEVER do that.) She just eyed me and was like, okaaaaaaaaaay; alrighty then.
Because I asked for an experienced person, I got one. Because I got an experienced person, and because I had done my homework with the five photos I'd annotated, the good news is, I FINALLY got the first good cut I've had in years and years. She told me it was a really good thing I had the photos and to please bring all of them back in again next time. Alrighty then. I even made a 6-week apptmt with her again (I NEVER do that). It's a little shorter than I'd like and shorter than I normally have; I don't look good in short hair; but I had to go that way to fix the Memorial Day Massacre.
So today I am extremely thankful for a good haircut.
Tonight I made a fresh batch of albacore tuna salad. Tuna salad always seems so boring, until I make it again, and then I'm always shocked how good it is, and it's so good when I taste to adjust spices, that I want to eat it right out of the bowl. I had "tuna salad on salad"; tuna salad on a big bowl of organic Spring Mix lettuces, with tomatoes and sunflower seeds.
Tonight I am walking 30 mins before I go to bed.

A good haircut can make you feel better about yourself -- the opposite of how a bad cut makes you feel. Glad you found someone who can give you the cut you like.

It's not just having your haircut when it gives such an emotional lift. I have a suggestion, for when you and your new hairstylist get it just the way you want: Take a photo of yourself! Then take it in, and just maybe you'll always get the style you want. It's worth a try, eh? I stopped by to thank you for your understanding, and read your blog instead.

Having a good hair day is important. Sounds like you had one.

that Thursday will now be Preparation Day. Preparation for weekend and for upcoming week. I am so UNprepared. That means routine chores, groceries, etc. must now all take place Mon, Tues, & Wed. Wow that puts things in an entirely new perspective. It seems like I'm cramming everything into 3 days. So I guess Thursdays from now on will be batchcooking night, weekly clothes prep night, and specific Fri, Sat, & Sun meals prep night. Mon will be Meal Planning and clean out the fridge, Tuesday will be produce day & prep, Wed will be groceries and errands day. I'll divide FlyLady's Weekly Home Blessing between the 3 days M-W. I'm not sure where I'll fit in "Administration Day" tasks; I might have to spread them out between several days like I do Weekly Home Blessing; but they really all go together. I am finding my way to a new weekly plan and it's harder that I thought it'd be. But the end result is worth it. 
, Wok or Wholegrain Wednesday; walking and core ST.
