Completed! 43–Shred Old Financial Papers

I finally went through the loads of financial papers that I have.  I have kept basically every statement I had gotten since I set up accounts in high school.  I spent a whole night going through and organizing the papers I had into a new file box so I can easily move them.  Then I shredded three entire garbage bags full of old papers! I’m so glad that now I get most of my statements online–I’m not good with dealing with paper clutter to begin with.  Combine that with my hoarding tendencies for anything I am afraid may be remotely important, and you end up with ten years of financial statements to shred. I’m glad that it is done though! Yet another thing I probably would have never done had it not been on this list.

In progress updates…

Well, besides the enormous amount of eating I seem to have done, I am making progress on a few other goals. And some are coming towards me whether I am ready for them or not.

Going to Rome–slowly sneaking up on me. I met with Kristen and Matt to get all the good hints this weekend. Hopefully Jeremy is spending his time in Canada plotting fabulous things for us to do. I still need to spend some time with some down and dirty planning, but I’m not quite there yet.

Learning Italian–not so much. Rosetta stone didn’t work out, and I have yet to listen to the cds I have. Some other ones are at the library but right now I’m avoiding dealing with fines I have at the library (and as a side note, from now on I’m really really not going to let kids/other teachers take my library books. I don’t keep up with it until its too late, and by then I owe them my firstborn child. Ugh)

See a play–well, I just saw Seussical the Musical, but because that was not a choice (since it was a field trip for school) I’m not counting it. (Do you hear that sound? That’s Jeremy groaning)

Throw my sister’s bridal shower–working on this one. I have designed the invites, but need to actually get them in the mail. I think the theme of “Rednecks Gone Wild” will go over well. (Just kidding Kristen)
