Hi, my name is Kim & I’m a dork. I am a happily married mother of a 9 yr old demon *cough cough*, er daughter. I'm usually reading on my Kindle, on the computer, or watching movies, but I'm usually reading. I'm a sucker for a happy ending. I sing badly & dance worse (only when alone or with the kid). I tend to get songs & movie quotes stuck in my head (mentally inked~get it? hee hee). I try to be a good person, wife & mother, but don’t always pull it off.
One of the things they (Primerica) teach in our weekly class is that if you don't write down your goals, it's like not having them. Here are my goals:
See 2-3 people a week for work
Clean: pick up more, so the damn goat will stop eating random things (this time it was a box of kleenex-box included! Oh, & a dollar bill.)
Get more organized: Hell, I may be able to find things!
Exercise on my non-walking days.
Remember to blog weekly: Make it bigger & better...nah, I'll just remember to write.
Fundraising (short term goal): Still have fundraising to do! Click here if you'd like to donate!
I'm sure there are more, but these were the most important (ok, not writing this). I know that "be a better wife & mother" should be on here, but...baby steps people, baby steps.
I'm feeling very Tori today, so here is something soothing & beautiful.
My lesson for everyone today: Write your goals down, you may actually reach them!
So far it's been a pretty great week for me. I've still spent way too much time on Facebook & Twitter, got some naps in (pms is a real bitch!), & played more on the computer than I should have, but I've been semi-productive too!
As you can see, I've pertified my blog (not that the Poshpreneur didn't make it lovely before) by myself & made it just a little more me. (It took me over an hour to get the color scheme just right.)
I'm working to help save my bff money every month (I hope we can help her!). By doing so, I'm also getting in more training. Did I mention that I passed my test last week? In about a week I will be licensed to sell life insurance. I passed my debt certification. I'm doing all this to try to help people save money now & help them learn to save for the future (especially since we all know that by the time we're ready for Social Security, it'll be a thing of the past).
I got buttloads of laundry folded & put away (yes, my life is oh so exciting!)
I managed to find someone to take not only my kid (for the next 13 or so years), but 2 of Brittany's along with both of our husbands! We hope to go on vacation to some beach w/drinks that have those cute little umbrellas with the proceeds. (My fantasy world is great. As I told a friend, most people dream about hot chicks or men, but I dream of selling a cranky hubby & 5 yr old.)
I nearly fell asleep in class on Tuesday (it's not that it wasn't interesting, cuz it was. I was just having major problems keeping my eyes open!
I got to look at amazing pics of my embarrassing crush. Ahhhhhh...
And it's only Thursday!
Tomorrow should be interesting~it's Pet Day at school. We'll see how our 4 month old puppy (Haley) does. Wish me luck because I'm sure I'll need it!
Feeling a little down today. It's hard to sell me! It sucks when my own family isn't even buying. I think I'll practice here (if I can friggin type right. I've had to go back several times already!)
As you may or may not know, I am now working with Primerica. I'm trying to set up appointments with my family & friends so they can hear the speech & see if they're interested. The goal of Primerica is to get people on the right financial track & prepared for the future. It's a great service. It's hard, though, trying to get the nerve to talk to my family about it. While I think it's a great service, I'm still nervous because I hate trying to sell my friends & family anything.

So, how did I do? Was I fun & informative? If anyone has any tips, please let me know. I'd appreciate any help I can get!
