It was motivating.<br />
<br />
And I wanted a chart like the one she mentioned. I could not find one on line. So I made one on Word. (This was a long time ago.) I found some mistakes...it was harder to get right than it should have been. So I saved it.<br />
<br />
I found it today (looking for something else) and I think I fixed everything.<br />
<br />
So here it is: a chart of days in which you can track your progress toward a goal.<br />
<br />
Revised, to include a copy of the One Year Goal Tracker that has Nov. 1 in bold.<div><br /></div><div><br /><a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/503379540/One-Year-Goal-Tracker">

Skillet DinnerThere are lots of versions of Johnny Marzetti Casserole out there, but I could not find one with these exact ingredients and made in a skillet. This is tweaked from a recipe I got from my sister-in-law. She calls it Johnny M. Casserole. I'll call my version....<br />
<br />
<b>Johnny M. Skillet Dinner</b><br />
Serves 4 to 6<br />
<br />
3 cups whole wheat elbow macaroni<br />
1 medium yellow or white onion, chopped<br />
1/2 to 3/4 cup celery, sliced thin <br />
olive oil, about a tablespoon <br />
1 lb. ground turkey or beef<br />
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste<br />
1 teaspoon salt<br />
1 to 2 cups corn (frozen)<br />
1 to 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese <br />
<br />
Put the water on to boil for the pasta.<br />
Saute the onion in the olive oil until soft and golden. Add celery and saute a minute or two.<br />
Once the pasta water is boiling, cook the pasta until just done; do not overcook. (Check package directions for time guideline.) Drain.<br />
Move the onion and celery mix to one side of skillet, add turkey or beef and brown. Drain excess fat from turkey or beef.<br />
Combine the onion and celery mixture from one side of skillet to the browned ground turkey or beef.<br />
(Alternately, move the onion-celery mixture to a bowl and then brown
turkey or beef in the skillet.<br />
When browned, drain fat and then add onion-celery
mixture back to the skillet.)<br />
Turn burner to medium, add tomato paste and frozen corn, stir together and let heat through for about five to seven minutes. <br />
Turn down heat to low, top with cheddar cheese and allow to melt. <br />

<br />
This
is a challenge to memorize two verses a month for the year. <br />
<br />

including information on the event that will happen in early 2014 for
those who have checked in at least 21 of the 24 times on the blog, who
bring a spiral with the verses written in it, and who able to recite the
verses to another participant.<br />

Since I plan to <a href="http://www.aholyexperience.com/2013/01/the-1-habit-god-really-wants-for-your-new-year/" target="_blank">memorize Romans 1, 8 and 12</a> with Ann Voskamp at <a href="http://www.aholyexperience.com/" target="_blank">A Holy Experience</a>, I will probably frequently use those verses for this challenge.<br />

Oatmeal cookies on Easter evening? We had enough sweet stuff without them, but my oldest was going back to college and I wanted to send a little treat with him.<br />
<br />
Actually, I adapted the recipe from her recipe for <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2009/02/thick-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies/" target="_blank">oatmeal raisin cookies, chocolate-chip style</a> (see the note just before the recipe itself). <br />
<br />
I decided to try this recipe because Deb had cut down the sugar and used only brown (instead of brown and white, which many recipes call for). She doubled the raisins (which would be fine for me, but not for some family members, so I did not do that). And then added chocolate chips.<br />
<br />
I doubled her recipe (she makes about half a standard recipe for these) and<br />
<ul>
<li>substituted whole wheat flour for the all-purpose </li>
<li>used smaller amounts of raisins and </li>
<li>used a smaller amount of white chocolate instead of regular chocolate chips. </li>
</ul>
<br />
(White chocolate chips because I love the recipe that I tore out of a <i>Family Fun </i>magazine about ten years ago, developed by <a href="http://thepieacademy.com/about/" target="_blank">Ken Haedrich</a>, which uses oatmeal, dried cranberries and white chocolate. It was the first one<i> I</i> saw that used this combination, which is pretty common now.) <br />
<br />
1 cup butter, softened<br />
1 cup brown sugar, loosely packed<br />
3 medium eggs<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br />
scant 1/2 teaspoon table salt<br />
3 cups old-fashioned oats (the kind you cook for 5 to 6 minutes)<br />
1/2 cup raisins<br />
scant 1 cup white chocolate chips <br />
<br />
Go to <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2009/02/thick-chewy-oatmeal-raisin-cookies/" target="_blank">Smitten Kitchen for directions for these yummy cookies</a>. <br />

<br />
This is a challenge to memorize two verses a month for the year. Those of us who are participating post our verse on the blog post calling for verses on the 1st and the 15th of the month. It is so cool that there are usually well over one thousand comments -- over one thousand women striving to memorize God's Word! (Far more than that in January!)<br />
<br />
Beth has instructions <a href="http://blog.lproof.org/2012/12/siesta-scripture-memory-team-2013-instructions.html" target="_blank">here</a>, including information on the event that will happen in early 2014 for those who have checked in at least 21 of the 24 times on the blog, who bring a spiral with the verses written in it, and who able to recite the verses to another participant. I missed the celebration after the 2011 challenge, even though I was qualified to go.<br />
<br />
I just ordered my <a href="http://www.lproof.org/store/collection_new.asp" target="_blank">spiral from the store</a>. <br />
<br />
Since I plan to <a href="http://www.aholyexperience.com/2013/01/the-1-habit-god-really-wants-for-your-new-year/" target="_blank">memorize Romans 1, 8 and 12</a> with Ann Voskamp at <a href="http://www.aholyexperience.com/" target="_blank">A Holy Experience</a>, I will probably frequently use those verses for this challenge.<br />
<br />
This is what I think I listed as my memory verses on these dates. From Romans, chapter 1:<br />

memorial oration or eulogy could more eloquently honor President
Kennedy's memory than the earliest possible passage of the Civil Rights
Bill for which he fought so long. We have talked long enough in this
country about equal rights. We have talked for a hundred years or more.
It is time now to write the next chapter, and to write it in the books
of law. I urge you again, as I did in 19 and 57 and again in 19 and 60,
to enact a civil rights law so that we can move forward to eliminate
from this nation every trace of discrimination and oppression that is
based upon race or color. There could be no greater source of strength
to this nation both at home and abroad." </span></span><br />

Trying to really get a feel for the year and what needs to be done.<br />
<br />
I have a theory that new year's resolutions ought not to be made until the beginning of February. That way, you have a whole month to think about what you need to do and even "try it on" before resolving. <br />
<br />
I had known about <a href="http://www.suchatimescrapbooking.com/2009/01/05/project-365/" target="_blank">Project 365</a> for some time, but the products sold out rather quickly and I never remembered to look at amazon at the right time. I finally started following <a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/" target="_blank">Becky's blog</a>, where she announces the product information. I got my <a href="http://www.beckyhiggins.com/products/" target="_blank">Project Life</a> materials ordered and I am working on it for this year.<br />
<br />
I am not yet in the habit of doing this, so there will be some filling in for the photos and journaling I missed. Oh well. I'd rather do this poorly (even very poorly) than not all!<br />
<br />
Project Life really makes me happy! This is what I have been wanting for my scrapbooks! I was never a very artistic scrapbooker, nor was I fast. Throw the tendency I have toward perfectionism (which comes from insecurity, because I am sure that I am not as good as all of you are) and I didn't get much done in my albums. <br />
<br />
I just love this and so happy that Becky Higgins is having such success with it! <br />
<br />
P.S. Just to be clear: Project Life is the current incarnation of something that started as Project 365. Becky has a lot of information on her blog about Project Life. It is very flexible! If you want an inspirational introduction, see <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHJ5pox_s2M&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">this YouTube video</a>. If you want a short and sweet intro to Project Life, maybe<a href="http://beckyhiggins.com/products/getting-started.php" target="_blank"> this Getting Started slideshow</a> will help. <br />
<br />
P.P.S. It is sold through amazon. Not through a multi-level marketing program. I love that is it sold this way because I have come to really dislike the MLM model. We have tried it with reluctantly with Creative Memories (still have too much stuff), Nikken and Melalueca over the last 20 or so years.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532717074668137059.post-81176580325929133662012-02-20T23:11:00.003-06:002012-02-20T23:11:47.831-06:00Ideas for a photo a day...<span class="textMedium"></span><br />
There is a list of 100 bits of life to consider adding to an album on The Mom Creative (Jessica Turner's) blog: <br />
<a href="http://www.themomcreative.com/2012/01/free-printable-100-bits-of-life-for-project-life.html">100 Bits of Life</a><br />
<br />
And I think I saw a list of photo ideas. I searched and I don' t think this is it, but it a list of 365 photo ideas!<br />
<a href="http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/images/stories/magazines/creating_keepsakes/January2009/365ideas.pdf">365ideas.pdf</a><br />
<br />
Another list of photo ideas:<a href="http://www.slideshare.net/EastmanKodak/photo-aday-idealist"> Photo a day idea list.</a><br />
<br />
And I just found this blog: <a href="http://captureyour365.com/">CaptureYour365</a>.
They have a photo list for each month! that would be easy to visit and
print out the list at the beginning of the month and try some of them.<br />

I have not followed it myself, but it does look very good.<br />
<br />
I created a document that can be printed out and tucked into a Bible to help with tracking where you are in the plan. I uploaded the document to Scribd and it is <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/77001702/Bible-Reading-Plan-LaHaye" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Probably as much as any book, it encouraged me to read the Bible daily. Not that I always do that, but I do try.)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532717074668137059.post-49324185025019304422011-12-29T23:54:00.000-06:002011-12-30T00:32:07.706-06:00December 2011 RoundupDoing a Roundup for the first time. <a href="http://scrapbooklady.typepad.com/katie_the_scrapbook_lady/2011/12/final-roundup-of-2011.html" target="_blank">Does this link?</a> I think it does! Katie the Scrapbook Lady's blog. I have not done it all, but I have tried to answer a few questions.... Everything following is Katie the Scrapbook Lady's post, copied here for me to answer and to do. So the links in the Monthly Tasks are to her blog posts. (And I am thinking that maybe I am not supposed to do it this way.)<br />

<li>What books and/or magazines did I read this month? Just finished <i>44 Scotland Street</i> by Alexander McCall Smith. Doing BSF and read some of Acts and all of Hebrews this month. Bought two books: <i>What Women Fear</i> and <i>What Is It Like to Be Married To Me?</i>.</li>
<li>What movies, television shows, plays, etc. did I watch this month? No plays, not much television: An episode or two of <i>Friday Night Lights</i>, which I am recording, and <i>Return to Cranford</i> (Masterpiece Theater). No movies. We did go to see the King Tut exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Our family of five, plus three friends (one for each kid). Granddad and Lee. We also went to the Houston Symphony earlier this month to see Christoph Eschenbach conduct the orchestra in Mahler #5. Just our family of five and one friend.</li>
<li>What fun things did I do with my family and/or friends? Christmas!</li>
<li>What gifts did I give and/or receive? Lots of Christmas presents to give. </li>
<li>What special or unusual purchases did I make? Bought new bedroom comforter set. And a new purse. </li>
<li>What illnesses or health concerns did I have? 1) Only one migraine! 2) I'm not exercising enough. 3) And at Weight Watchers, I had to pay because I was more than two pounds over goal. (But that was after Christmas dinner, lots of pumpkin pie with whipped cream and a dinner at Sweet Tomatoes.) (Not all on the same day.)</li>
<li>What were my accomplishments this month? Hmm...</li>
<li>What were my disappointments this month? Maximize Your Mornings did not go well for me at all. </li>
<li>How did I do on my goals for the month? (Or any current short or long term goals) </li>
<li>Anything else noteworthy to include? Yes, we had two visitors: Grandad and Lee. </li>
<li>Volunteer work: December 4th, Lanier Christmas Party. Was an all-day event, outside, on the Lanier grounds. Cold and wet, rained during the day. It was fun, but miserable, too.</li>

<li>Upload all digital pictures to my hard drive and clear off memory
cards in camera. Place all photos for the month in a computer folder
labeled with the month and year. Make a backup copy of the photos from
the month on my external hard drive and a dvd. I also upload all photos
to my <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/92535484@N00/" target="_blank">flickr</a> account (you can use any offsite photo storage site, but <a href="http://scrapbooklady.typepad.com/katie_the_scrapbook_lady/2009/11/20-reasons-why-you-should-use-flickr.html" target="_blank">here is why I love flickr).</a>
Ideally, these activities should be done every time you process any
pictures through your computer so you don't lose any precious files, but
if you have lapsed during the month, now's the time to get it done! </li>
<li>Choose photos or digital layouts to be printed out and get it done while I'm thinking about it. </li>
<li>Backup any other documents or files as needed. I use an <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NF6ZK6?tag=ktscrapbooklady&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=B000NF6ZK6&adid=0RXSMVMX95G19ZDHBM5X&" target="_blank">external hard drive,</a> I also upload many documents to <a href="http://docs.google.com/" target="_blank">Google docs.</a> I don't like to lose stuff. </li>
<li>Backup my blog. It's easy to do if you have one, just use <a href="http://www.socialcustomer.com/2005/12/how_to_export_a.html%20" target="_blank">Typepad</a> backup or <a href="http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/02/how-to-backup-blogger-blog.html" target="_blank">blogger</a> backup. </li>
<li>Clean off my work area, empty my inbox, and clean up my computer files. Here's a <a href="http://scrapbooklady.typepad.com/katie_the_scrapbook_lady/2009/08/organizing-digital-scrapbook-supplies.html" target="_blank">link to my digi organization post.</a> </li>

This is a great way to finish off the current month and prepare
yourself for a fresh start.I hope you will try it! If you post your
roundup on your blog, it would be great if you could give a link back to
me so others know where to find the roundup tool, but it's not a
requirement or anything. LOL! Also, feel free to edit the questions and
tasks however you want to make them useful for you.<b></b><br />
<b>The important thing is to just take a few minutes to record the memories of the month before they are forgotten!</b><br />
