Got my copy of Photoshop Elements 6.
That was part of goal #9.
Isn't it cute how I went for "desert" first?

10 things: and a distraction

10 Goals for the month of April

1. Get my kitchen really, REALLY clean. Not just clean enough to be safe – Clean like I’m so proud of this clean kitchen that I want you to look at the floor in my pantry closet clean.

2. Get my laundry room clean. As in finally getting rid of all the kitty litter that collects in the corners clean. Wait – that may not work. ‘Cause I still have the cats. And cats need litter boxes. Well, how about clean behind the ginormous washer and dryer clean. Will that do?

3. Put in a valiant effort on my treadmill 5 days a week. I don’t have to go hog wild and end up running 35 miles a week again. That turned out badly – I broke a muscle. Did you know muscles could be broken? Well maybe they can’t, but my calf felt like it had a broken muscle in it. The ugly, swollen bruise that took over my ankle last year at this time sure made the muscle look broken. Frustrating to say the least.

4. Eat a little less. I’ve been a total HOG for the last few weeks. I get so tired of winter, and snow that I tend to self medicate with peanut m&m’s and cheez-its. Time to grow a little self-control.

5. Not have an anorexic episode. Even though a very large part of me would LOVE to get super skinny again.

6. Get a facial. Never done that before. Maybe I’ll end up looking fabulous.

7. Phew! Wait a second here. The dog just walked by and boy does he stink. He’s either leaking rotten egg gas from under his tail or he pooped somewhere – let me check that out. … ... ... It's okay. He’s just shooting stench from his butt. Must have something to do with all the ham fat that The Man fed him - Easter dinner left overs. Tomorrow's post – Ham Fat and Dog Butts. I promise. Okay – number seven goal. Clean Banshee Girl’s bathroom well enough to allow me to walk into it without a hazmat suit and ventilator. That’s going to be a tough one – wish me luck.

8. Continue to learn to use my new camera.

9. Buy Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac and learn to use it well. Yuck! There goes the dog gas again! Ewww!

10. Sit on a beach in Florida. Where I presume I will not need a clothes pin for my nose. Phew! Go away dog. I love you but you STINK!
