Busy Busy Busy

Since school started on Monday my substitute teaching gig has already began (woo hoo money)

And that means not having as much time to blog like I was hoping to do this month (womp womp)

But I wanted to check back in with my August Goals to see how I did.

I cant believe its getting ready to be September. 

I know I always say this but man this year is really flying by!

sooooooooo I didnt do so well this month.

I crossed out 3 things...because I was only able to get to 2 things. Who knew how hard it was to make time to sit and watch Harry Potter. Most people wouldn't mind doing that!

But I was able to go to Charlotte Pride Festival this past weekend (post on that later) and I bought a flattering bathing suit TECHNICALLY in July but I wore it like every weekend in August so it kind of counts.

"Thats a far stretch Nikki"

I was however doing a lot of reading this month and I was finally able to read several books that had been looming on my list. Gone Girl was awesome I finally understand the hype and I cant wait to read the other books that follow. Girls in White Dresses is funny and sarcastic so I was really laughing out loud when I read this. Very cute I think everyone should give it a chance.

So I was only actually get 2 things crossed on my August goals.

I really wanted some Empanandas too. :(

But that's okay. September is coming and I will. do. better.

XOXO

August Goals

Hope everyone is having an amazing Thursday!

Today is the first of August and I wanted to get out some goals I have for this month.

I am very hopeful that I will accomplish this list!

1. Complete at least 3 things on my 101 in 1001. 

I'm really trying to go to the shooting range and finally have my Harry Potter Marathon!

2. Get A Full Time Job!

I will always have this on my goal list until is gets accomplished! I'm constantly interviewing I just need someone to take a chance and hire me!

3. Obtain some furniture for my room.

I think its a sign that I received the IKEA catalog in the mail yesterday!!!

4. Finish books on summer reading list.

I don't have many left!

* Gone Girl

* Midnight and the Meaning of Love by Sister Souljah

* Girl in White Dresses

5. Accomplish making some Empanadas! 

If you didn't already know I am obsessed with food from cultures other than mine. Latin food (whether its Puerto Rican, Peruvian, Brazilian) is so yummy and I miss having constant access to it like when I was in Florida. So I am determined to AT LEAST learn how to make some empanadas on my own. I tend to craze them at the most random times! Anyone have a good recipe?

XOXO
