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

• 30 Day Challenge: 30 Days of New Movies — Fail. Such a fail... I watched only about 8 movies throughout the month.
• Watch and review 10 TED Talks — Fail. Ugh! How can I never remember this goal?
• Plan and start the special surprises for the October retreat — Success! Not everything is settled, but I've made big progress this month.
• Plan activities for Arthur’s birthday party — Success! Most of his party is planned, most of the favors and decor has been bought. Woohoo!
• Finish a Soduku puzzle — Fail.
• Buy a vase and fill with fresh flowers — Success! I bought a very simple vase. Now I need to remember to fill it at least biweekly.

This month's goals:

• 30 Day Challenge: 30 Days of Lists -- I do love this no pressure challenge.
• 30 Day Challenge: 30 Things class by Ali Edwards -- I bought class, really need to get moving on it. I want to keep up my writing.
• 30 Days Challenge: Blog-Tember -- Utterly crazy to take this on, but I'm doing it!
• Get a haircut (possibly dye my hair) -- My last haircut was in January, I need another one. And I've been wanting to die my hair for awhile now. This may be the month...
• Open a cookbook to a random page, make that recipe -- Random challenge, but want to do it.
• Reevaluate my Thirty-One wish list -- Need to get ready for the holiday season.
• Get a pedicure -- Random item off my list, but I really want this one. Last pedicure was in April. Yeah April...
