Since I’m full of accomplishments lately, it’s time to make room for more with some goals.
Buy a sofa already.
As much fun as living like a vagrant is, it’s been five months since I bought my place. It’s time to own a sofa. Or at least a comfy chair. And hang a picture or two.
Read.
Or, at the very least, stop buying new books. It doesn’t help that I have a free month’s worth of Amazon Prime. 2-day free shipping? Why yes, do please keep sending me things.
Sit up straight.
I don’t know where my posture went, but I’m a regular Slouchy McGee these days.
Sign up for an art class.
Pottery, more specifically. Due to general clumsiness, my ugly homemade mug collection has suffered a disastrous rate of attrition.
Keep hitting the gym.
I like making one goal that’s really easy to keep…
Enjoy the (2-day) weekend.
And glare angrily at everyone that gets holidays off. (Just kidding! Happy Labor Day to all you folks who get a 3-day weekend!)
Goals? Labor Day plans? Tell me about the good stuff coming up in your life!
((P.S. If you aren’t already following me on Twitter (AllieBeast) or Instagram (forgottenbeast), do it!))
That suck you have to work! I’l think of you as I’m being lazy.
For your couch: Look on overstock.com, hsn.com and shopnbc.com the cool things about hsn and shopnbc is they have payment plans at no extra cost! Check it out, I used to be addicted to them before I moved…
September is a HUGE month for me! I am going to the YFE conference out here in LA and am so excited to meet all the lovely ladies of YFE! I also have decided to make my blog into a business so we will see how that all pans out!
Positivity vibes your way!
Love and Shine

My couch is from craigslist. You can snag some decent furniture there if you look long enough. Good luck with the hunt!
um i need a goal to get a chair or something too. i still have no furniture. time to step it up!
I am forever telling myself to sit up straighter. At least a few times a week I tell my kids “Sit up, you don’t want to be a hunchback”. I remember seeing a woman severely hunchbacked when I was young and it has always stayed with me.
haha same here! My mom always tells me to do it when she sees me–even if I am standing/sitting straight~:P It’s such a “simple” but attainable goal, you know? We’ll def. be happy when we’re older! And Allie, it took us several months to actually get a couch too!
So I know how it feels~but once you get it you’ll be SO relieved.Have a beautiful day girl!
Looks like a great list. I have a public library less than a mile from my apartment. You should find out where yours is so you can save on books!
Love your goals. When you get your sofa, you can lounge on it and read your books
Have a great short
weekend!
We had our August bank holiday Monday last week so we’re all back at work this Monday if that’s any consolation
buying sofas and pictures is when you know you’re a proper grown-up… I love having my own pictures, my own taste everywhere in my house!
Sadly, my school doesn’t give us a 3 day weekend for Labor Day either
That’s too bad you don’t have a long weekend. This is one of the few long weekends that both states and canadians have at the same time. These are great goals, I love the sit straight, and signing up for an art class!
Loved reading your goals, it’s one of my favourite blog posts to read! (In fact I’m writing my goals this evening!) Yours are great, I hope you find a lovely sofa – make sure it’s perfect for curling up on to read
Looking forward to hearing what you’re going to read! I might do some mini book reviews on my blog this month. Have a great weekend Allie!
I’m glaring right there with you…no long weekend for me either! Love your weekend goals! Not sure if you’ve noticed yet but I found that strength training regularly has helped my posture out tremendously! I am so worried about hurting my back that I make a conscious effort on maintaining my posture during my sessions….and it helps that I can hear my PT’s barking (regardless whether she is there or not): “Back arched, chest out, body tight”! HA!
Ugh my posture has really been suffering lately too =( I think it’s because I’m back at a very desk-focused job haha.
Yay goals!
A good couch/sofa can be life changing!
Great list!
we need a new couch too! we have empty rooms in this house…
I love Prime. we have a membership (both Jason and I have massive book collections) and I love it, use it too often. in fact I just bought three new books about an hour ago…
it is just too easy.
I hope you are having a nice weekend, sorry you have to work…
I have to work tomorrow too . Booo. I’m kinda on the search for a sofa too! Ours are like 15,000 years old.
Ha – I too love easy goals. On my to-do lists, I often write one or two things I’ve already accomplished just so that I can cross them off.
I once lived an entire year in an apartment with no sofa and never actually unpacked the living room – I just used it for storage.
A beanbag chair! I like your goals a lot. I will keep an eye on you to make sure you’re reading
