Ok on to my list:
- Keep Running! I wasn't seeing anything before today (other than a few pounds every few weeks less on the scale which I am NOT complaining about). BUT TODAY.We took off on a walk to the Elementary School to tour & get the kids acquainted w/their classroom location. This is something I always try todo for them as I remember being the puking ball of nerves this last 2 weeks of Summer wondering where I was going, would I get lost, would I look like a fool, would anyone help me, etc. sorry OFF track.... so we are walking along & there are a couple of slow pokes hanging back so I send the helper w/the stroller up w/the speedier bunch & I hang back... then the pokeys challenged me to a race to catch up.. I took them up on it & you should have seen their faces LOL so fun! I was able to jog the whole block w/them & not get winded. GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS SO EXCITED *I* challenged some to a similar race on the way back - anything to get home to the a/c faster ;) again- not winded : ) I felt GOOD doing it.. I thought I'd be sore from running 3 nights in a row but I wasn't YAY.... oops again. OFF track... sorry
- Lasagna Garden. get started prepping the back yard in the areas we plan to have our garden next year. I just printed that article for Tim to read so maybe he'll get it b/c so far he thinks I am fruity ;)
- Keep Scrapping. Seeems I have taken a break from it most of the summer & was giddy to find I 'hadn't lost anything' when I pulled 2004 4th of July photos frommy stash, packed up all of my red, white & blue, patriotic as well as family oriented goods & headed toa crop 2 weeks ago & was able to scrap the entire 11 pages from that celebration between 9am & 5pm! seeeeeee giddy!!! :)
- Get Simpler. I am falling hard & fast for the simple side of life lately. Sewing, gardening, canning, freezing, composting, rain barrel-ing, running, eating fresh whole foods, buying organic, local, fresh products. a few things I have experimented w/& the rest I plan to soon!

I love your goal for a simpler life. And the running one! (Not to say the other two weren't awesome as well, :D They totally are) I want to get back into running, myself and I feel a pull to the simpler side of life as well.
Good luck with all your goals, and congrats on not being winded after a long jog! I imagine it must have felt really amazing :D
Hello there! I'm also doing the goals project and wanted to drop by and wish you good luck! I love the get simpler goal. We should all be on board for that one. Have a lovely night!
I love the idea of being simpler, too. Love your list!
Simple is good. I'm trying. It's a slow process. Trying to declutter an apartment with no where to put clutter is not fun.
Soon, very soon, I will be starting the C25K plan. I found an iPod touch app, and I'm going to make it work. :) You mentioning not being winded is great inspiration.
I have been enjoying sewing and gardening alot latly. Having gone from a two income to a one income family has force us to rethink the way we live, and I definatly think that I enjoy living more simply!
