When did June get here?

So I tried to do the blog everyday in May challenge and I think I blogged exactly two days...oops.  Well moving forward let's hope June will be better!  I have some good blog and personal goals for this month and I figure if I lay them out here maybe I can hold myself accountable for them.

Let's start with blog goals.  As of today I have 12 books that I've read that are yet to be reviewed, to deal with this back log all I need to do is three a week, I hope I can do that! I'm reviewing over at Jagged Edge again (and they are still looking for other reviewers if any book lovers aout there are interested in helping), so if I can get at least half of those over to them that would help out over there.  I would also like to do at least one link-up with the book chat (she does one a week, so I should be able to catch onto one of those).  Also, I have a couple personal posts I'd like to get up before June is over.  At least one on local wine and at least two on our road trip across the country.

This is what our apartment is looking like these days...

As for some personal goals, I want to be totally moved into our new apartment by the end of June.  I would like to start practicing my flute more (in hopes of a fall audition), I'll start with a goal of 2 times a week and move to 3 times a week halfway through the month.  Last personal goal is to be ready fo a 5k in July, so that means running more, ugh.  I have a 5k training plan (that I adapted to my schedule from Hal Higdon's) and realistically hope to stick to 5 out of the 7 days each week.

With all these goals I hope to do a weekly wrap up on the blog (and maybe take some other ideas from these sunday currently posts on siddathorton) to keep myself on track!

Shoe Rack

I finally did something about my apparent shoe issue.  I bought a shoe rack! So far we've only had two mishaps (shoes falling off).  We also discovered that it looks best by not filling it to capacity but keeping it at 22-24 pairs instead of the advertised 33(!).

I really enjoy organization but have a hard time staying (or even getting) organized.  I like to think small things like this help.  The shoe rack came from the Container Store, which I love since it is all about organizing your home.  The boyfriend wasn't as excited about it.  Clearly I'm going to have to be the organized person in this relationship.  Now that the shoes have been taken care of the top shelf of my closet is up next!

Shoes

Since my boyfriend blogged about my huge amount of shoes (which really isn’t that many at 19 pairs), I thought this would be a good time to show off a pair that he bought me, a little hypocritical, no?

But the real reason to show them off today is because we are playing the hated buckeyes at 4:00 (PST).  Even worse is that they are undefeated and ranked number 1 in the country, YUCK!  I’m feeling the big upset, LET’S GO BLUE!!!
