You thought Martha Stewart got a lot done?!? Did you seriously think that Ryan Seacrest had a lot on his plate? You really believed that Donald Trump was productive? Meet “Conquerer Katie”….
yes, she works hard, plays hard, and when she sets her goals, she delivers at least one of them. Remember that time she created a space shuttle outta some pocket lint, four toothpicks, and a little cow manure? Yeah, that was awesome. Seriously…don’t be jealous.

Sure, you may avoid setting goals after you see my success rate. You feel like you are just never gonna be able to compete with my productivity level. You’ll get green with envy about how I get er done. It’s ok. They make pills for that. (Paula’s on em.)

Yes, car dancing counts…which leads me to a very interesting question. Do you ever bust a move in your vehicle? I totally host a Honda dance party on my way home. And apparently in Belgium, they really know how to rock it – check out this video. My favorite move? The fake-wheel turn…but the stripper-hair-spin is a close second 🙂 Monkey-face is dead last unless I get a neighborly stare…

You crack me up! Thanks for posting this. It makes me feel better that my to-do list from the other day (http://ilovethekitchen.blogspot.com/2009/03/spring-cleaning.html) is nowhere near accomplished. 😉 And YES – I totally rock out in my car!!! Hubs pointed out the other day that people were staring. “Let them stare!” I responded. “They’re just jealous!”
Amy says
Good for you for posting your goals, and admitting your successes and failures. I’m a little nervous about #10.
🙂
Kristina with a K says
I am with you Amy! #10 seems pretty important! 🙂
I created a “Purpose” list that I keep in my purse and it changes from month to month. I’ve got it divided into “this month” and “this year” so I don’t feel like a complete failure. I’ve got it on my blog and update it every month. I’ve only scratched off two for March.
You are not alone 🙂

Your astronaut photo CRACKS ME UP. Okay, McGuiver, making a space ship out of lint, a coke can and a toothpick. Impressive.
I totally bust a move in my car. Which is frightening. I’m not a great driver and I’m a TERRIBLE dancer.

I feel better about my lack of goal completion last month. Lets hope April is much better for the both of us.
