Geez! This year is really flying by!  It’s that time again, GOAL SETTING! But first some updates from APRIL & MAY [Well, I never got around to actually making any May goals…].  I did accomplish almost everything on my April list. My IKEA RAST nightstands will officially be completed tomorrow. I took the “Before” pictures of my room re-vamping. I joined Pinterest [and I am currently obsessed with it]. I completed the resumes in my queue AND updated mine and posted it [I got calls for several jobs already so I’m sure I did a great job on it]. I also made a budget and will try to live by it this month… we’ll see how that goes…

Now for my June Goals/Commitments:

1. No Shopping for an entire month!

So this is going to be super hard for me [Especially since I am an emotional shopper]. If I’m having a bad day I got to the mall or peruse amazon. I am going to try my hardest not to buy anything for myself this month. Mostly because I have so much junk as is. I shouldn’t add to the problem & until I can rid myself of my existing clutter. Basically I can’t buy anything else for the house or for myself until I complete my spring cleaning. That being said there are a few caveats:

• Every year I get a new swimsuit, & I haven’t gotten one yet. So I am allowed to buy a new swimsuit.
• Also my BFF [@DrModel16] birthday is coming up & I HAVE to get her something because I love her & I MUST.
• And then there’s Father’s day. He contributed to the creation of me so I have to spend money to get him something splendid.
• My Boo is a father too, so I need to get him something thoughtful & cheery as well. I really want to buy my Boo a chambray shirt because he would look so super sexy in it ;)

A few fun things will come of this. First, later this month I plan on hosting my first clothes swap. This will help me get rid of stuff I never wear, make a few bucks, and get some cool new key pieces from friends by swapping! Also, I’m going to try to create new outfits from all this ish I have in my closet now & never wear. I’ll try to remember to showcase the new outfits.

     2.  Start working out 3 times a week!

Some of my old teammates & I are going to start working out together. Since we are all ex-track-a-letes [shoutout to my track girls - miss ya’ll] we pretty much suck at working out unless someone is yelling at us & FORCING *ahem* encouraging us along the way. Sooo hopefully this works out & we can all be Summer Time Fine come July.

     3. Take the “After” pictures of my room re-vamping

     4. Get the White Cole Productions blog, URL, first post, about page, & the            contact us page, up AND running!

This one is a straggler from April. Who would think that something so simple is also so hard!? I need to coordinate with my counterpart to get this done ASAP.

     5. Plan my 4^th of July Getaway!!!

This is also left over from APRiL [clearly I didn’t get to do any planning in April or May]. The Boo & I recently celebrated [sort of but not really] more like acknowledged the day we met [Memorial Day wknd] this past wknd. We have officially known each other for a year. But in reality our 1 year anniversary isn’t until Fourth of July wknd. That’s when we really made things official. So being that the 4^th is my all-time favorite holiday & my Boo is the epitome of a patriot, AND this is our “When We Really Made Things Official” Anniversary…I plan on doing the absolute most J

     6. Make my resume service more official!

Meaning; website, domain, & a legit email address for inquiries. I plan to have this ready to go & linked to PayPal by the end of this month. My business has already been pretty lucrative considering I have only been operating by word of mouth. I’m excited to finally get this up & running.

Deadlines for these goals are 6/30/12 at midnight.

**Now let’s make this month a great one!!

Man oh Man… I can’t believe this month is already half way over! I didn’t even get to make any May goals…[I’m a slacker…] Well, there is always next month.

Time for a few updates!

1. I love my boyfriend. Sorry to be such a sap right now but HE is the best. I admire him. In 9 days i will be back out in Cali to be with HiM [I just got my ticket!…383.60 -__-]. We will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary. [Monkey BALLS - I know right!?]. Crazy… Last time I was with someone this long I was 19 years old. As I get old I’m realizing that life is all about timing. You can have and do whatever you want but timing is critical [& patience is key]. Geesh I still remember when we met for the first time & I wrote about him…

2. My lease is up in four months!!!! I am totally freaking out!!!! I want to move out of GA this year but that may not be the most logical thing to do money-wise. I also know that I tend to over plan so… more to come on that.

3. Also during that time I will be in Barcelona for my Annual Mother/Daughter trip with my beautiful mother. We had a wonderful mothers day this past weekend [If  I ever get my laptop back from my sister I will post some pictures *hint hint* @KriscoKaye].

4. I still need to post pictures of my lovely DIY nightstands too! They are almost done! I just have to make the natural wood tops! I am so in love with them. My room revamping is coming along nicely. Now if I could just get everything organized!

5. The first weekend in June my mother and I are going to meet my Marines’s mother. This should be interesting. Anyone who knows me knows how inappropriate and perverted my mother is. There is no telling what she will say. Pictures and videos will be made that weekend [& they will be posted here!]. We are staying at Marine Momma’s house. Fun times ahead [especially since I know she will stock up on the wine before we get there ;)].

6. Me a few friends decided to incorporate a Sunday Funday into our lives. Life is entirely way to serious and stressful as is. I just want to get a group of dope people together to eat, drink, & be merry. The first installation will be this coming Sunday. Pics to come!

7. I’m feeling particularly reflective lately. Just looking at everything I have experienced int he past year. I feel like such a different person now [still changing too]. I’m so excited for the future. I honestly believe it starts with me leaving GA. That being said, here are some places I have been considering moving:, Phoenix, AZ - Austin, TX - Southern Cali [Anywhere down there!] -  ALL I really know is that when/if I ever settle down I want to come back to ATL or Charlotte, NC. I’m a southern girl at heart & growing up here was THEE best.

Ok consider yourself updated. L8r whores.
