Goal Planning Monday ~ Read, Read, Read

"Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal; while others, on the contrary, obtain a victory by exerting, at the last moment, more vigorous efforts than before." Polybius

I don't want to quit just before I reach my goals. How about you?

I had a really, really bad week emotionally. I actually quit blogging one day and started back up the next. I knew I should not make that decision while I was so emotional... but I just could not help it. If you missed the excitement I did 2 posts and you can check them out.

Besides that I did pretty well this week. I still have some things that I wanted to get done and did not accomplish... like that cake... but I did make 2 cakes for the family instead. We ALL really enjoyed them... we are still enjoying them. I made them because my sister-in-law was coming for an overnight stay.

I have a review due this week and I have to read the books before I do it. I also have many books I am reading for school and personal reading so that is why I titled this post Read, Read, Read.

Participants... It is not a requirement to comment on each others blogs but it would be nice to encourage each other. Please try and come back and check who else links up and go comment on their blog post. And comment on mine as well, we ALL could use some building up and community. 

My top priorities are marked with a *
