Goals

Mom has set some goals for herself, no that she isn't worrying about PlusOne and his black belt exams. The first was to clean out the top shelf of the cabinets to the left of the sink, and make more space for glasses and mugs, which seem to be multiplying.

The second is to start working on her Intermediate Level Instructor's Certification. She started that one today. There are twenty four techniques, two forms and one set she has to write out in kenpo language as if she was teaching it, naming directions faced, moves, power principles and timing. It may take a while, but she's got a good start.

The third is to finish this Asian quilt she started a while ago and put aside when things got a little too busy (her black belt exams, life, etc, etc.)



She also has some smaller goals. Balance the checkbook, clean off the computer desk, finish the living room drapes (with Auntie's help) and a few other things like that. You can ask her how she is doing on any of them, she won't mind.

In the mean time, we are heading over to the party at The Cat Realm, for their One Year Blogoversary. Stop by and say "Hi"! The food looks delish! I just hope they have broccoli.

Are you helping your Mom with the quilt? It looks like it needs someone to sit on the pieces to keep them in their positions.

Hi Roxy!
I loved reading your mom's goals. It is always fun to have goals and work towards them. I think that is what makes life fun! The quilt is beautiful. I cannot wait to see it as it comes along.

That material for your quilt is beautiful. We think we'll like to snuggle in the quilt when it's done.

I think that Mom would trade with you ... She's got California Standardized Tests to proctor an' she just started a new quarter with her ninth graders ... Balancing the checkbook sounds FUN!

The food at the Cat Realm party is PAWESOME ... We'll likely be goin' back for seconds.

Happy Tax Day!
