This is a blog about changing bad habits, forming new ones, and believing that goals are more easily achieved when you share them with others. All you need is one good friend, or at least another motivated person, to keep you on track. What do you want to achieve this month? Finally cleaning that garage? Going out for that dream job? Getting in shape? Finishing that book you've been reading for a year? Writing a book? Or maybe just remembering to eat breakfast every day. The more specific the better. Make a list of Five Things, share it with a friend, and challenge each other to complete it! My friend Kit and I are tackling new projects monthly - join us, and tell a friend! =-)

October is Almost Over!

My, my, it has been a while, hasn't it?  It has been an eventful month in the life of 5 Things, with a trip to Milwaukee, AIDS Walk, and Halloween coming up.  So how are we busy people doing with our lists?

Kit has been faithfully updating me on the status of her laundry, exercise, and the grooming of her cat.  She also updated the contacts in her phone, accidentally calling me a few times as she did so.  She also uploaded some more photos of her honeymoon trip to Facebook so we can see her at the Tower of London and next to the weird Japanese art installations that marred the halls of Versailles.

Holly never quite got her list to me, but she is still on board for next month.  I think she may need a little incentive... like if she accomplishes everything one week, I'll buy the first round when we go out for cocktails.

As for myself, I've been doing okay with my list.  Exercise and meditation have been challenging to keep up with, but they have been really good for me.  Also, going to bed by 10:15 (or thereabouts) has also helped with energy and keeping me from getting sick.  The games thing was a dud (I can't count on having an opportunity to fit them in during the school day), but at least it got me thinking about making a list.  The refrigerator is almost clean (I've been doing it in stages).  Two more small shelves and the door shelves and I'm done.  I had to use excessive amounts of Goo Gone to get unidentified sticky matter out of various crevices.  Lord knows how long it's been there...

So we get to finish October with a party, otherwise known as Halloween.  Still not sure if said party will be in L.A. or in San Diego.  But either way, I will be decked out in the same outfit I wore to Monster Ball:
