Before I get to this month’s goals, let’s check in on July's goals and my progress.

• 30 Day Challenge: Read 100 pages a day -- Success! Although 100 pages was a pretty low goal. Maybe next time I'll challenge myself to 150 pages a day.
• Stick with my capsule wardrobe with update -- Success! I'm getting sick of a few things, but overall I'm doing well with this project.
• Watch and review at least 10 TED talks -- Fail. This just slipped right past me.
• Do a winery visit -- Success! My mother and I did a whole day in Sonoma complete with winery tour and tasting.
• Get a pedicure -- Fail. Really wanted to do this for myself but it just didn't happen.
• Go on a date night with J -- Fail.

This month's goals:

• 30 Day Challenge: 30 Days of New Movies -- I haven't done one of these for awhile. Traditionally I do new movie month in September, but this year I'm feeling the need for recharging in August.
• Watch and review 10 TED Talks -- Trying this again...
• Plan and start the special surprises for the October retreat -- I love to have things done early.
• Plan activities for Arthur's birthday party -- Again, I love to have things done early.
• Finish a Soduku puzzle -- A simple goal, but I haven't engaged in a puzzle in far too long. Want to get back into occassionally doing a puzzle of some kind.
• Buy a vase and fill with fresh flowers -- I love the look of flowers on the dining room table, but I just don't do it very often.
