August 2011 Goals

So it’s August, my goals list for July took a back seat this month with all the weddings I had.  I had so much going on that most of these things will go on the August list.  5 out of 11 isn’t too bad right?:

1. Add client testimonials to my website- if you are a past client email me a few words about your experience and I will add them to my site.  Since this is almost complete I want to get this done first! *This is done and you can see them here.
2. clean all the windows in my house, that I don’t have to climb a 20 foot ladder for, inside and out!  *Definitely didn’t get to this!
3. organize the basement shelves  *not done either!
4. remove the old ditsy wallpaper from the downstairs bath and paint the walls.  Since I didn’t get to this in May or June or now July it may still be here in September or later:)  *I think this will permanently be on the list:)
5. go to the beach at least once and it’s edited to add** wear a bathing suit, sit in a beach chair and go in the water!  Working on the beach is not going to count this time. *Done and we had a blast, even though the water was freezing!
6. order a 7×7 inch sample wedding parent album to show my clients  *hopefully in August
7. order a canvas of Chris and I for our living room- doing this today! can’t wait to show you photos in a blog post  *ordered and received but not hung up yet
8. add some music to my website  *hopefully in August
9. purchase/license 2 more songs for slideshow music  *hopefully in August
10. purchase some type of file folder organizing system- paperwork is out of control over here!  Thinking of going to the container store which can be a bad idea for a person like me.  I heart organization:) *I did get a small filing box and folders so it’s a start!
11. blog minimum 3 times a week *Done!

For August I would love to do all these things, but it is summer so I hope to enjoy the weather as much as possible too:

1. order a 7×7 inch sample wedding parent album to show my clients, I wanted to wait until the wedding I had last weekend to do this so hopefully this month
2. clean all the windows in my house, that I don’t have to climb a 20 foot ladder for, inside and out!
3. organize the basement shelves
4. remove the old ditsy wallpaper from the downstairs bath and paint the walls.  Since I didn’t get to this in May or June or now July it may still be here in September or later:)
5. add some music to my website
6. purchase/license 2 more songs for slideshow music
7. go to the beach for fun again- this time we are trying to make it to LBI!
8. order an 8×10 sample leather wedding album.
9. read 1 book.  I used to read so much on the train but not anymore.  I need to read again.
10. get my itunes set up on my MAC

A few photos from our trip to Manasquan taken with my phone.  It was hot that day, lucky for us I bought a $4.99 umbrella from Rite Aid and the water was freezing but felt so refreshing once you got in.  Cooled you right off!:
