Hi everyone! I took a little bloggy break. Some focus was needed at work plus I've been a bit under the weather. Yesterday Jim and I both were both feeling pretty yucky so we enjoyed a Sunday sick day together...and it was actually pretty fun! Normally we would make sure to be productive and do some exploring, and if only one of us was sick the healthy one would probably put the pressure on to get us going. But with both of us sniffling, sneezing and coughing...we let ourselves take it easy. It's funny how productive you can still feel while doing "nothing" around the house. Some long overdue online purchases, changing out a headlight, having time to cook a real meal for the first time in awhile, self pedicure...it was a productive day!

I'm back with the Weekly Wishes because last time it worked - I really knocked those tasks out. So what do I hope to accomplish this week...

:: This week's wishes ::

1. Sleep 8 hours a night. I'm still not feeling great today, so this wish is exactly where my head's at right now. Jim and I are always trying to go to bed earlier but this week I'm going to make it a priority.
2. Firm up some travel plans. I have a few fun trips in the works right now that need to be nailed down (hotels, flights etc.)  - I hope to take care of this this week so that I can start officially looking forward to my travels! Isn't life just better when you have an adventure to look forward to?
3. Find a good photo editing system on the mac. Maybe you guys can help me with this one... I'm looking for a great, free (or cheap) editing software for my Mac. Editing with iPhoto is fine but sometimes I want to step it up a notch. I'm still not completely used to the organization system on my mac either so that's probably half the battle. Any cheap & intuitive favorites out there??

Have a great week, everyone!

Weekly Wishes :: 1

Happy Monday! Today is my first Weekly Wishes.  Goals, lists and wishes make my world go 'round, so when I came across this Weekly Wishes link-up on one of my new favorite blogs, I just had to join in. This is especially good timing for me because last week felt very tired/blah/unproductive. I didn't get much sleep and I felt like I was falling behind every day (not really the me-time week that I imagined!). But I had a recharging weekend up in beautiful Truckee which left me pumped up for a productive week. It's a good week for wish making, wouldn't ya say?

:: This week's wishes ::

1. Do at least four Barre classes. Have you tried Barre? I just got a groupon for one month of classes and I'm hoping to start off strong this week! 
2. Meditate every day. I've been getting back into mindfulness and it feels oh so good. I hope to take time to be mindful every day this week, even if just for a few minutes.
3. Fix my pants. I have a small hole in a pair of my favorite pants and all I need to do is sew it up...but I can't seem to get around to it, it has been on my to-do list forever.  
4. Read for pleasure. I have 3 wonderful books waiting for me patiently but I haven't gotten around to cracking them open yet. I hope to read a bit before bed  this week!

PHEW I feel better already!! I look forward to checking in on these goals next week. What are you hoping to accomplish this week??
