FOR SEPTEMBER
I noticed its a good way to assess every area in my life....
Health
run vs strength calendar--Running tomorrow morning my 5k!! My hip is FINALLY feeling better!!
run with jackie and adam--Jacks preggo and adam works opposite shifts, this stinks but this month Amy and I are going to start working out and I'm starting a bootcamp program :)
Personal/fun
playdates--Zak has a lot going on with sports, but I would like to try to get together with Heather
game nights--We have a party at Franks Sept 25!
Zak's homework- every friday, he is ahead of the class. We need to work on tieing his shoes
girls nights--Not this month ethier....
date night--We had so much fun on our hotel night. We need to do that more...
dvd movies--DONE! phew. Finally. Now, I need to start scrapping again!
reading again--After my testing!
houseparty-I've applied for a few
photobook- I would like to just print a few pics off for my friend Lydia from her wedding.--still gotta do this
make $$ (for wedding fund)
craigslist--I had an intrest but that was all...i'll repost again
ebay--nothin...
cans--Gotta cash in our cans....
credit card--my credit card give me 2% cash back. That cash will go to the wedding fund as well. Also, with every purchase I make I round up the dollar and throw that into the money jar.---Me-
expotv--This is just a fun little website that doesn't earn anything towards $$, but little gifts that are a good thing to have, and the points are easy to get.--May 4604pts--still slackin here...I have NO time right now
inbox dollars--I like this because the revenue is pretty high. I have $11 now and i can cash in at $25. I take surveys, search things and read emails. Also this month i'm going to use coupons from there and get $.10 per coupon!--August $19 (made $2 this month)
hits4pay-- this is another read email site. It's really easy to get the $$, but it seems like its going to take forever to get to $25---August $11.50...same as July, the didn't have any emails...i'm going through 6 now so that should help
Debt
DEBT IS GONE!!! GO ADAM!!
House
I have put a lot of money into the house the last 6 months, but man was it worth it! It has brought the house such a nice look! Adam has worked his butt off painting and stuff. I think were an awesome team. But, there's always more to do:

Finance
What i'm trying to do is combine all my $$ into 2 accounts. One has over $15,000 the other only $2000, but I am making the second one grow to make $15,000 because then I get a 10% increase in interest at the end of the quarter--still doing this.

$1000 to charles schwab--I need to keep a good amount in this acct to fund my roth. This month I will fund it

CEUs--I have a site that i'm going to start doing my CEUs through after my RNC, I also have my CBLs to do here through lake.
Clinical Ladder--I have decided to participate in the clinical ladder. If I get my certification, it will surely help, but next year I will have more points if I join commitees and stuff, which I will. My level, if I get it, is $2000
