It's About Being Accountable

My daily progression from strange, ill-tempered red-head to smoking hot, awesome domestic goddess constantly leads me through moments of self instruction:

"Self, you need to start eating healthier!"
"Self, you need to get the dishes washed before you go to bed!"
"Self, get off the computer and spend time with your husband!" 

(It's okay right now, he's sleeping anyway.)

You know what I love to do in my daily self evaluation and progression? I love stealing ideas from other people on how to better myself. Seriously. It's great. One fantastic idea is from my dear friend Liss, who posts a weekly accounting of things she wants to implement into her life at her blog, A Year of Wisdom. So I've decided to go ahead and steal her great idea and make myself more accountable when it comes to the goals in my life.

Daily Gratitudes:

1. Bulk cooking ahead of time that saved me tonight when I had to cook dinner for 6 and my original recipe plans fell through! Yay for bulk cooked ground beef and crock pot chicken!
2. Avocados. Really, there's just nothing better.

4. Getting ahead of work.
