The PeachPost

I have to admit that I have changed a few things in my list.  As I got started, I felt as if I didn’t challenge myself enough or that some things we were not doable.  But as of today, here are the things that I have accomplished.

• I had my old bills shredded at the CBS Great Shred Event on 2/6/10
• I purchased an all-weather coat/trench coat on 2/22/10.  I can’t say that I am totally pleased with the purchased, but I did it.

Reoccurring Things

• Take a pic each week (2/132) – this is not going so well, because we forget to do it.
• Surprise hubby with Just Because gifts at least once a quarter (1/8) – I bought him a casual winter cap.
• Call my grandmothers at least every other month (1/16) – I spoke to my Father’s mother.  She was really surprised.  My mother’s mother has been unavailable.  I am not sure if there is something wrong with my phone or not.  Everyone else seems to get in touch in with her. LOL
• Try a new recipe once a month (1/33) – this month I made a recipe thta include a mix of collard greens, black-eyed peas and rotel tomatoes.  It was quite tasty. the only thing that missing was a little cornbread.
• Comment on two new blogs per week for 2 months (8/16)
  • I Am Style-ish
  • Newlyweds and Nesting
  • Start-Up Wife
  • Whittaker Woman
  • Kelly’s Korner
  • Somewhere in Middle America
  • Good Finking
  • In No Simple Language
• Do a monthly update of 101 things on blog (1/33) – if you are reading this, then I have made my update.
• Wash the car or have it washed at least every other month (1/16) – J washed the car for me this past Sunday.

Things in Progress

• Buy new pillows and pillow protectors – the pillow are bought, but I haven’t found pillow protectors for a reasonable price.
• Record an EP and/or Demo – writing songs and looking for music.
• Self-promote my music – I’ve got someone proofreading it for me.
• Have Praise & Worship Night at least 4 times (0/4) – my first praise and worship night will happen in July 2010.

Okay PeachPost readers, I want to hear from you. I get a lot of visitors, but most of you never comment.  So I am calling out all of you who are lurking around. Introduce yourselves and let me know who you are, where you’re from and anything else that you may want to tell me.

This weekend was great.  It was busy but we had an awesome time. So here are the bits and pieces from my weekend. By the way, we had really nice weather and it was a first for us in a while.  Last weekend it snowed.

• Friday - Alvin Ailey show with co-workers.  Lunch was at Einsteins with my girl, Shay. Sidenote: Thanks to Staples for the recommendation.  The food there is delish!!!  I stopped by to see my precious little Lexi (my friend’s baby) but she had a host of guests so Auntie  Aarika kept it moving.
• Friday Night - Wings and redbox movie.  The movie was Madea Goes to Jail and it was not that good.
• Saturday – I hung out with my hubby.  I wanted to eat outside so we chose Fellini’s and I went to Nordstrom to try on  these shoes (surprisingly comfy) so that I could buy them for sale online.  I procrastinated and they sold out. Marshall’s was on the list of places to go, so we stopped there and I picked up some new pillows.  Another thing that I can check off my list. We went to see our couple friend’s new baby, Little Warren, who is too cute.  Congrats Warrens!!!!
• Saturday Night  – We were named Godparents for my cousin’s son whom we affectionately call Izzy.  We were so honored!
• Sunday - We went to church, J put some food on the grill, I let the pup play outside and oh what a lovely day!!

So last week I mentioned that J and I want to have kids, but we want to wait about three more years. Actually we only want to have one child.  It could be a boy or a girl.  I don’t really have a preference.

So what about you all?  Do you want to have children?  If so, how many? How long will you wait?  For those you that have kids, how long did you wait?
