Christmas Week 5 for 5

Last week's goals:
1. Really decide on the Christmas plans (it's only 1 week away!)
            I decorated a bit, see the post here.  We also went to a step-son's house for a fun family gathering.  We will be going to my mom's for Christmas dinner too.

2. Finish getting caught up on my blog reading and commenting.
             Still working on this one!  I only have 783 blogs to read....I don't think I'm going to be commenting on all of them.

3. Go grocery shopping
              Done!  $231 later we have food again!  To be fair, it is just two of us and we haven't been grocery shopping in probably 3-4 weeks.  And I saved almost $100 using my grocery savings card and coupons.  I probably could have saved more, but I wasn't organized enough with the coupons.

4. Make fresh juice twice this week.
             Nope...not once...but I looked at all the fruit and veggies I have to make some.  Does that count?

5. Read 10 newspapers.
             I read 8 (although most of them were yesterday)

Not too bad this past week.


So what are the plans for Christmas week?
1. Rest while I have a few days off.
2. Make fresh juice twice this week.
3. Read 10 newspapers.
4. Finish wrapping presents.
5. Get my coupons organized.

    Last week wasn't too bad! I'm proud of you for getting grocery shopping done- I certainly DID NOT complete this goal :) Also, I think reading 8 newspapers in one week is awesome! Good for you!

    Great goals for the week ahead. I have some last minute wrapping to do today, too! I think that resting and relaxing while you have some time too is so important- so make sure you make this goal happen ;) Also, making fresh juice sounds so delicious!

    Good luck with the week ahead! You can do it!

    I'm amazed you even got through 8 newspapers! I love the news some days, but others it's just hard to keep up.

    Fresh juice and relaxing! Two goals that I would love to do too.
