I have very little memory of this week. Monday I was home sick. Wednesday was probate and then running around to set up the estate account, then the birthday dinner for J. Friday C got us free tickets to the Tacoma Ballet through school so we went and saw that.<\/p>\n

It was a spendy weekend. In order to have the house pass the inspection for the foster care license, we need to be able to lock away power tools and other dangerous materials- like paint. We spent 3 hours and over $700 at Lowes buying a garden shed and a storage cabinet and what seems like a million other small little things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The base for the new garden shed<\/p><\/div>\n

We then spent Saturday evening putting together the new storage cabinet and putting particle board in the attic. Sunday was spent doing yard work and building a base to put our new garden shed on. We have a good start, now we just actually need to make use of it all and get the basement and garage organized and safely stored away.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

I have six goals for 2012. As part of the Sunday evening posts, I am tracking those goals, kind of like I do for spending, in order to hold myself accountable.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Be paid for publishing one piece of fiction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Submissions so far: 2<\/p>\n

Responses: 1 rejection 1 acceptance<\/p>\n

I need to get back to searching for markets for my already completed pieces.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Make money publishing my next art\/fiction book<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is on hold for now. I did, however, start a new website called The Prose Passage<\/a><\/strong>, which is focused on writing and critique. As of now, I haven\u2019t added an AdSense to it, but I probably will.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Attend FinCon12. Pay for the trip with money from allowance\/side projects saved\/earned BEFORE the conference starts. Goal: $600<\/strong><\/p>\n

My current balance is $45. I have already bought the ticket to FinCon12.<\/p>\n

Our credit card points were being doubled or something for February and March. If we have another month or two like those, I will be able to pay for my entire plane ticket with credit card points. As it stands, right now I could buy a ticket with points and only $40 out of pocket. And it will be even less after the spending this weekend.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Become a member of Yakezie (6 month anniversary is Jan 21)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I plan to be a member of Epsilon class when the application goes up in August. I do need to make sure I\u2019m still connecting with new challengers, though, because a lot of the challengers on my list this last time will be Yakezie<\/strong> Delta class members.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Make money from my blogs. <\/strong><\/p>\n

AdSense earnings: $20.42 (They won\u2019t send me any money until I hit $100)<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Be healthier<\/strong><\/p>\n

I mowed the lawn on Saturday, in the midst of everything\u00a0 Three hours on my feet on the cement floors of Lowes took a lot out of me. We dog parked on Friday. But healthy hasn\u2019t been the watchword of this week. I need to get back on track.<\/p>\n
