Month Eight? You’ve got to be kidding me.

Here’s what went down in the Bayou this month:

I ran a 5k through the neighborhood (and convinced Patrick to join me).

I hit 39 books for the year,  39!

(32.)Thirteen Reasons Why
(33.)No Plot? No Problem!: A Low-Stress, High-Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 DaysLiterature & Fiction Books)
(34.)Unless It Moves the Human Heart: The Craft and Art of Writing
(35.) TraceLiterature & Fiction Books)
(36.) Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and LifeSpeech Books)
(37.) Don’t Judge a Girl by Her Cover (Gallagher Girls)Children’s Friendship Books)
(38.) The Women’s Health Big Book of Exercises: Four Weeks to a Leaner, Sexier, Healthier YOU!
(39.) The Last JurorContemporary Literature)

This happened, obviously.

42. Contribute monthly to IRA (8/33)

We got rid of one unnecessary thing in the house.  Progress!

91. Purge 100 items from the house (31/100)

I finally got a little crafty….

94. Make 5 craft items I have bookmarked online (1/5)
(1.) Paint Chip Art

I’m happy with what I was able to accomplish this month, but I know I need to step it up a bit and start working on some of the harder stuff if I’m going in finish this in about 2 years time.  In fact, I was all set to tell you that I was registered for my first 10k and half marathon later this year, but things are in a bit of a holding pattern right now.

I hate to be elusive, but just know that we’re busy dreaming and scheming down here, stay tuned!
