One of my goals for March was not only to stick with my goals, but also update about them, because it will keep me accountable!
Anyway, here are my March goals and how I did on them:
1. Update these goals at the end of the month and create goals for April.
Hey, look at that! I did it! April goals coming in a few days.
2. Play nice with Mint.com. I'm trying, I really am, but the problem is we tend not to stop going to restaurants when our restaurant budget is up! Oops. This should be fixed.
Well, we didn't exactly do well on this, but it didn't help that we got our tax return too. Mint monitors our income vs. our spending, and our income was way above our spending (yay!) so it threw me off.

3. Plan the menu for the week and post about it. If I plan to post about it I have to do it, right??
Well, 2 out of 4 weeks is a good start, right?
4. Make at least 2 blog posts a week on something meaningful. (No more fluff, right?)

I did post more often and regularly, which is basically what I wanted to get at, so I feel like this was a success.
5. Go to Weight Watchers every week, regardless of how the week went.
We went three out of 4 weeks so that's an improvement!
Overall, I think it's been a good month.





I'm a 27 year old, newly married, newly living in Washington, librarian trying to find a job in a library. Meanwhile I'm working as a office assistant while I figure out how to live my new life as a wife.
Geoff, my wonderful, caring husband works with computers and, in his free time, plays with video games, lounges on the couch and cooks with sourdough.
Clarabelle and Hermione are our babies! Hermione, who came to Megg as a kitten, loves playing with fur mice and bottle caps. Clarabelle's hobbies include sleeping, lying in the sun and playing with straws. 
Geoff and Megg met through a mutual friend and spent 4 years dating long distance. They were finally able to live in the same zipcode after what seemed like forever when they got married on January 2, 2010! Soon after they bought a house and have been enjoying the Pacific Northwest together while being both newlyweds and new homeowners!
