DAY 31

Today I had a Women's Club meeting. I've been trying to become more actively involved in this group so I can become more engaged in community service. My only issue is that when I get home the baby is already in bed. It's hard to leave my baby in the morning and then see her at night without spending time with her. That's the most difficult aspect of doing anything social during the week.

I also think I've decided on my next project. My next project will be a spending experiment, about me connecting with money, by not spending it. If you're like me then sometimes you buy things carelessly. I want to spend 40 days on a spending freeze. Buying only essentials, such as food and supplies. I'm not sure when this project will be begin, but sometime in the near future. 

DAY 30 - 10 Days to go

Wow, I can't believe it's been 30 days already. They say that it takes 21 days to break a bad habit, so perhaps my habits have changed! Or so I hope. Today I had a nice long conversation with my sister who live in another state. We gabbed and gossiped and had a grand ole time. Tomorrow I have a women's club meeting to attend!

DAY 29 - Baby Stuff

Today I was consumed with baby stuff. The baby needed formula, diapers, baby food. I had to run to Costco before they closed today to buy some emergency supplies. I didn't do much connecting today. In honor of this, please enjoy my favorite commercial.

DAY 28 - Success!

Today, I went to lunch with family and then later tonight I met with a friend for dinner and coffee. Overall, today was a great day of connection. My friend recommended that I start attending meet up groups. She said that there are all types of meet up groups for all kinds of interests. My interest is in writing so I think I'll look for a local writing club.

DAY 27 - A little bit

Today I sent a bereavement card to a coworker. I've been meaning to send the card out for a little while now. I'm going to hang out with a friend tomorrow. Other than that it's been a pretty average day. Baby went to the doctor today. Nothing exciting to see here!

DAY 26 - Nada

I feel pretty exhausted right now, mentally drained. So all I did today was go to work, come home, take care of the baby. Today was one of those days. 

DAY 25 - Happy New Year!

2013 was a great year for me. It has been the favorite year of my life so far. The birth of my baby makes this year the most memorable. Today has been a fun day. I made my sister a birthday E-Card and sent another happy birthday email to a friend in Europe. I also went to my in-laws and spent some time with them. The baby had fun with her grandparents. When I got home I started to take Christmas decorations down. That's always fun, right? I'm still not quite finished. And for the finale, I'm watching my favorite holiday tradition, 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy. TNT shows it every year. It's not Christmas/New Years without 'The Lord of the Rings.'
