Week 3 update

1. My progress through Financial Peace University -- Got home a little while ago. didn't get a chance to read chapters 14-18 hopefully I can get caught up on that this week while also preparing a budget.
   
2. My progress with the job hunt -- Belterra offered me a part-time position but I have decided to turn it down mainly because of the drive. As long as I complete 24 CE hours I'll be back working at H&R Block. I'm still holding out hope that something closer will come up. Hopefully I'll be able to apply at the right place at the right time and end up with a great opportunity. I'm also kicking around the idea of starting my own business, I have an idea but no clue as to where to start or how to start or anything, if anyone knows anything about starting a business or knows someone that does please help.
   
3. My progress with finding a place to live -- I can't really start on this one till I have a job lined up so this one is kinda on hold for the time being.
   
4. My progress on the book I'm writing -- Would love to be farther along on this one but just haven't had the chance to work on it lately.
   
5. My progress on cleaning my room and area in the basement -- The "Craft" desk is semi-cleaned off. I have enough room to scrapbook and what's piled on it is the items I'm using to scrapbook with. The computer desk is looking better, not great by any means but better.
   
6. My progress on Quilts -- I managed to get about four or five inches done while watching Bones last week maybe I'll get a few more done this week.
   

Here's the update from Week 2 update 2

1. My progress through Financial Peace University -- haven't worked on anything for next week yet. Need to read chapters 14-18
   
2. My progress with the job hunt -- I have an interview with two places set up for next week: 1. Belterra Casino the only downfall to this position is the drive is 1 1/2 hours from where I currently live, but it would be full time and have benifits, 2. H & R Block have to go through the interview process to be able to be rehired. I also put in an application at Office Depot and The Clothing Loft.
   
3. My progress with finding a place to live -- I can't really start on this one till I have a job lined up so this one is kinda on hold for the time being.
   
4. My progress on the book I'm writing -- I am up to being to the year 1988 in my book so it's going well, I haven't really been spending a whole lot of time on it. I'm trying to schedule in more time to work on it but that's hard for me I've never been one to do well scheduling time so it goes by without me noticing.
   
5. My progress on cleaning my room and area in the basement -- I had my computer desk in the basement cleaned off then I cleaned off my craft desk and things got piled up on the computer desk but I can scrapbook again!!!!
   
6. My progress on Quilts -- Going to work on this tonight while watching Bones or something on TV.
   

Week 2 Update

Here's the update from Week 2

1. My progress through Financial Peace University -- I finished the "homework" from last week on Friday so I'm all set for class tonight.
   
2. My progress with the job hunt -- I applied at Belterra Casino and have an interview set up for next week. I also have an interview with H&R Block next week to hopefully be rehired. I would prefer the job with Belterra cause it would be considered full time yeah the drive would be more than I truly want but to start out with I could live with it. I'm also headed to Office Depot to turn in an application so hopefully something will pan out for me.
   
3. My progress with finding a place to live -- I can't really start on this one till I have a job lined up so this one is kinda on hold for the time being.
   
4. My progress on the book I'm writing -- I am up to being to the year 1988 in my book so it's going well, I haven't really been spending a whole lot of time on it. I'm trying to schedule in more time to work on it but that's hard for me I've never been one to do well scheduling time so it goes by without me noticing.
   
5. My progress on cleaning my room and area in the basement -- Haven't really done anything with this, I really need encouragement in some of these areas. I'm having a hard time just sitting down and getting things done.
   
6. My progress on Quilts -- Haven't done anything here either maybe when I get home tonight I'll work on Fire's binding. Get it off of the list of things to do.
   

Update

When I began I said there was three things I was going to keep updating and posting about progress well I've thought of a few others also so I figured I'd give an update on the original three then start on the others.

1. My progress through Financial Peace University -- I go to the first official meeting for Financial Peace tomorrow night so hopefully it will go well.
   
2. My progress with the job hunt -- I've applied at a few places haven't heard anything from anyone yet so I'm still applying. One of my main problems with this one is I'm not sure what I want to do so I'm not sure where to apply. I know of some things I don't want to do but there's so much out there that it's hard to decide.
   
3. My progress with finding a place to live -- I can't really start on this one till I have a job lined up so this one is kinda on hold for the time being.
   
4. My progress on the book I'm writing -- I started writing a book in February and so far have a timeline set up. The book is going over several years kinda like a diary, it starts in 1978 and will end somewhere in 2008. So far I have 1978 through 1986 written.
   
5. My progress on cleaning my room and area in the basement -- I'm horrible when it comes time to clean and organize, I normally just take stuff and set it somewhere so I'm hoping that by forcing myself to update on here (hopefully around once a week or so) I'll be able to get things in order.
   
6. My progress on Quilts -- I currently have four quilts I'm working on in various stages. I've named each one there's Fire, Candy, Blue green, and flower. On fire I just need to finish hand stitching the binding I'm about half way through with it. Candy I need to sew the material for the binding together on the machine then attach it to the quilt and finish with hand stitching. Blue green the material is cut I'm working on piecing each square, when I designed this one I didn't think it would be this difficult to have each square be different. Flower is a paper pieced quilt that has two different squares I currently have the fabric for the first square cut out and am working on piecing it all together.
