August update

I have just come from an impromptu movie outing. My friend invited me this afternoon (he won some tickets) and we saw a movie called Retribution which is a South African thriller. It’s the first local movie that I saw in this genre and I have to say that it was not bad at all.

Anyway, this is how I did in August:

Social

Movie date with L this weekend. – DONE. We watched Super 8.

M’s birthday lunch on Sunday. Complete her gift. – decide on something to knit tonight – DONE, though my knitting flopped and I ended up buying her something.

TBT opening on 14/08 - DONE

Tween B-Day on 13/08 (finalise party arrangements by Friday) - DONE

Jewish museum with Tween 20/08 – Not done. I later found out that this museum is closed on Saturdays and I’m not keen to do Sundays.

Breakfast date with N on 27/08 – Postponed. I ended up going to that Womens Breakfast.

Gosh, I was so social this past month. LOVED it!

Health and Fitness:

Go back to WL to see where we are at. – Not done. Going back at the end of September. I blogged about that here.

Run 4 times/week – I did 3 times a week because my Saturdays were just too busy.

Register for Gun Run – not done. Changed my mind about this race – am not in the mood to run with such a big crowd.

Run 2 races – Women’s Day Challenge on 09/08 and another one on 21/08. Shave off 2 minutes from previous time. – I did the Womens day race in excellent time. I didn’t do the one on 21/08 because it was cold and rainy.

Home:

Sort and then file/toss ALL paper which has piled up all around the house. - DONE

E-file. – Not done.

Banking changeover - DONE

Kids:

Work through summer clothing and see what can still be worn. – Still busy. Nearly finished with Tween’s stuff. Still need to do Toddlers stuff.

Work through all books and toy boxes. AGAIN! Eish. – NOT DONE

Go buy a potty this weekend. Some people are apparently fully potty trained at school and insist on nappies at home because there is only a toilet and not a potty. – NOT DONE. And I drove past Baby City at least 3 times this past month. Kept on forgetting to stop.

Other:

Read 2 books – I read one and I’m nearly done with the other one.

Finalise Christmas gift list. – Done.

Book for Love Languages talk in September – to be done by the end of the week. – Done.

WordPress – is it just me or is WordPress rather unfriendly to non-techie types? – Started. Got annoyed. Stopped. Will try again in Sept.

Sort out LinkedIn profile once and for all. – Not done.

Make some jewellery with SIL – evening of 20/08.- Done. We did it on 27/08 though because she was away.
