April Goal Update

I feel as though I’m running so late with this, even though it’s still the last day of the month.  I wanted to combine by May goals with this, but after this last AMAZING weekend in New York, I want to redo some of them… so here is how April ended up.

April Goals Update

  1. Finish #18: 52 Books in 52 Week - Check!
    Man’s Search for Meaning April Goal Update on 4/1
    Murder in the Latin Quarter April Goal Update on 4/8
    And with the end of my 52, I’m going to stop tracking all my books on the blog. If you like seeing which books I’m reading, join me over at Goodreads!
  2. Reevaluate my budget
    Check! Next month I’ve moved down to even more bare bones in order to pay off debt by the end of 2012.

These Cinco de Mayo piñata cookies are probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen made out of baked goods in awhile. I might have to spend next weekend baking!!

Moving Pains

As I mentioned earlier this week, I moved over the weekend!  I went from a 1,400 sq ft house (holding 2 people) into an approximately 500 sq ft apartment (holding 1).

I knew that I couldn’t wait to get out of the house life back into the apartment life, but being back in an apartment these past few days has reminded that it’s definitely the best thing for me right now.  I miss all the extra storage space and having a yard – but I don’t miss cleaning and taking care of either!!

I also love that I am able to put whatever I want, wherever I want, and not have to worry about fitting in a roommate’s items or worrying what that person will think of the location.

My dog has adjusted surprisingly well already. He has a few occasional barks at other barking dogs or odd noises, but overall, he’s found a spot on the floor to keep his pillows and has already thrown his toys all over the place.

I lived out of boxes for probably 6 months in the house, but I’m determined that not happen this time. I still have several boxes to go (mostly in my closet and bathroom), but have the pot rack and curtain rods hung in a record amount of time.  Feels like home already!

I moved this weekend so I didn’t write all the posts I had planned on over the weekend. Hopefully I will have much to share from the new apartment soon. I hope everyone has a lovely Monday!
