Whoa whoa whoa… I almost missed this entirely. That’s how behind I got last week with my trip, and then recovering from the trip… I’m officially too old for red eyes, and boy is jet lag a killer. However, I’m back, and I’m raring to go-June is going to be all about catch up and lots of Summer fun around here-are you ready? Well then, I guess we’d better get started with our June Goals. As always, if you want to play along, write up a post recapping last month’s goals and setting goals for next month (or if you’re new to the party, just set some June goals and get the fun started) and then link up below.
May Goals Recap
Home Goals
- Finish de-junking the house. Especially my bedroom. FAIL. Big fat fail.
- Get a garden started with at least tomatoes. Tomatoes are the number 1 must have! FAIL. Ugh, so not happy.
- Start sorting stuff in the garage and setting aside stuff for a yard sale this summer. FAIL.
Social Goals
Go on a trip to Savannah, GA and see my friends.SUCCESS!Visit my family for my brother’s birthday and/or Mother’s Day. SUCCESS!- Put together some nice handmade Mother’s Day gifts. FAIL. I bought them plants instead…
- Send Mother’s Day cards to family I won’t be seeing. FAIL.
Blog Goals
Write at least one Better Your Blog post. SUCCESS! Not only one, but TWO! Check them out:Edit and update a huge chunk of old posts. SUCCESS! Still have many more… But I got a chunk done!- Write at least one DIY or recipe post. FAIL.
- Come up with some new threads for participation in the Grow Your Blog group. In Progress… I have tons of new threads for Pinterest ROCKSTARS though! You should join us.

Pass my French final. SUCCESS! I received 90% which was probably my best test score yet.- Start working on my A+ certification again. FAIL.
- Go to a few events that friends are hosting. FAIL Um… Probably? I can’t even remember what these were anymore…
Well, May ended up being more of a wash than I wanted it to be, and I ended up being WAY more busy than I’d hoped. I feel exhausted just trying to recover from everything that happened in May, and I’m hoping June can be a good month to recuperate. I also hope to do a better job on my June Goals because yeesh!
I think I’ll try and set more reasonable versions of the May Goals that I failed… June needs to be better and more achievable or I might just lose my mind.
June Goals
I think I’ll try and set more reasonable versions of the May Goals that I failed… June needs to be better and more achievable or I might just lose my mind. But I still have so much that needs to be done this upcoming month… Life never slows down, it just speeds up…
Home Goals
- Get my home cleaned up and moderately organized. Basically livable, because it’s not really right now… It’s baaaad.
- Figure out what I can still plant-and get it planted ASAP. I’m thinking some squash and tomatoes that are already started might be able to plant still.
- Get my lawnmower fixed… Again. This thing, I swear.. It’s the devil.
- Get the air conditioner put in the window and hooked up-it’s SO hot in my house. If it requires a tune-up, I might also contact an expert in AC Repairs and replacement.
Social Goals
- Figure out what to get my dad for his birthday and for Father’s Day.
- Figure out what to get my sister for her birthday.
- Have fun at the Utah Pride Festival.
- Attend my cousin Brooke’s wedding.
- Attend birthday parties… I have three scheduled for the exact same night. I’m thinking I can hit at least two of them…
Blog Goals
- Write at least one Better Your Blog post.
- Edit and update a huge chunk of old posts.
- Write at least one DIY or recipe post.
- Update my pages.
- Help Melanie of Growing Up Geeky get her new website up and running.
- Get my book reviews written and posted on Page à Vu as well as updated on Goodreads.
- Get caught up on my inbox and everything I needed to do last month-I’m so sorry if I’m behind on something I owe you!
- Get at least one fashion post shot and posted.
- Get my photos from Savannah edited and posted.
- Write up my 40 Before 40 list.
- Get an art/blogging table set up in my house again-I just can’t go without an area anymore.
Other Goals
- Get a significant chunk of credit card paid off.
- Work a few shifts at least at my new part-time job.

Link-Up
Reading all your goals makes me tired!!!
Also when does the next Monthly Goals linkup occur?
It seems like you got a ton done, considering everything! I think you’ll rock this month.
Ugh, de-junking is a never-ending project 🙁 Sounds like you’ve been pretty productive with your goals overall though. Keep it up, girl!
Mother’s Day was a fail for me this year too! Thanks for the reminder about Father’s Day (whoever thought to put these 2 holidays so close to each other must have known we’d get it right eventually!)

Right? Let’s spread them out… I have no idea what to get my dad, at least my mom is easy to shop for. haha

You have a lot planned this month! Heading over to check out more of your Better Your Blog Series.
Looks like you have a busy month ahead! I hope you get everything accomplished…or at least a big chunk. I’ve linked up! 🙂
Is it the Torrid job that you got?! So exciting if so!
40 before 40. Oh dear. Im just pretending that 40 isnt going to happen. My husband told me I can have as many 30s as I want. This will be my second year being thirty, flirty, and thriving! Lol
You crack me up….you’re “reasonable goals” are seriously ambitious. You’re greater than the sum of all of your production. You have things not on that list that take up serious amounts of time and energy- and if you aren’t accounting for those, you’ll always feel behind and under-productive. You aren’t, you’re just choosing to spend your energy where it’s best for you.
Best of luck with the certification! And congrats on getting the Torrid gig. 🙂
I’d say that you were successful in May with some pretty important things. Congratulations on the new job and those awesome grades! I hope to spend more time with my blogging goals as soon as the school year is over for me. Best of luck on your June goals. 🙂
Wow – Busy lady! You’re so ambitious and have so many wonderful goals for this month! Best of luck completing them! Oh, and I also want to do a 40 before 40 list! 🙂

You got the job?? I knew you would!
I know May wasn’t as crossed off as you wanted, but you did so much. And I’m so glad you got to Savannah. I’m so excited to go there with my friend Emily!
Figuring out gifts is ALWAYS a tricky one for me. Keeping my fingers crossed for ya!
