Well, Corinne demanded an update and so now that I finally remember what my password is, I figure I'll try. There's no guaranteeing that it will go past this single update, but here it is.
I have been inspired.
This seems like such a simple statement, but it is in fact, SO much bigger than that.
I have been inspired to work on my Mary Kay business. I love the women I have met in it and Monday night is officially my FAVORITE night of the week! I have so much fun spending time with the wonderful people who have also found Mary Kay that it just makes sense to use it as a business. Do I believe I will be instantly successful? No. Do I even believe that I can be successful at all? Well, I believe that I will one day be able to believe. But I know that I can not do it if I don't work on it. And I was looking around at Superstore the other day and realized that there's no way that's what I was meant to be doing. And so I was inspired.
I have been inspired to eat healthier. I know that I do not need to lose weight. But I can't believe that I am a completely healthy person. Even in the short time since Devon, Moe and I moved in with Danielle and Sara I have gotten used to seeing healthier foods around and just... don't want grease. I don't want instant foods or frozen meals... I want real food. Which means cooking. I made my own chicken broth the other day! It didn't turn out as well as I hoped, but it definitely wasn't bad. I just have to quit being so lazy... but still. I have been inspired.
I have been inspired to be more organized. If you could see my room right now, you wouldn't believe me. But, in my defense, I had many more boxes stored in mom's house than I thought I did and it's taking me quite a while to sort through everything. I'll get there though. And then the trick will be to just keep it there. The inspiration continues.
I have been inspired to love more, to be more humble, to do better at showing my faith in God, and to not sweat the small stuff. Yes, this is a big one. Now, you may be wondering why this hasn't come up yet in this post, but I got engaged on the 27th of December, 2010. Devon and I are going to get married on August 4th, 2012. (4/8/12 for those of you who like number patterns) Since getting engaged I have done preliminary wedding planning... basically, figuring out what needs to get planned but not actually planning any of it. And the more I think about it, the more I realize that it just doesn't matter. So what if the flowers aren't exactly what I'm envisioning. So what if the pictures don't turn out as well as I'd like. I love Devon for all that he is. And he loves me for all that I am. Imperfections and all. I am so... blessed in every area of my life. I am not bragging, nor am I trying to make anyone else feel as if their lives aren't as good. I am simply stating what I feel. If you don't like it, don't read my blog. I have a very large amazing family who loves me even when they don't understand me. I have very good friends (who I'm either related to, soon to be related to, or are people I met through Mary Kay). I know that no matter what happens, no matter where I am, I will have someone I can reach out to whether it is because I'm in need of comfort or because I'm so happy I'm going to burst if I don't share. I have so many people to love me, it occurred to me that I may not be doing as good at showing my love for them as I should. And I look around at all of this, the people and opportunities that God has given me... and I realized that God has a plan for me. Even if that plan is only to reach out and touch one person's life, he has a plan. And I am SO humbled by that thought. I nearly had a panic attack when I thought it. "Oh no, what do I do? How do I do it? Oh I hope I do whatever it is that He wants me to do and that I do it as good as He wants me to do it and..." Well God isn't going to just tell me what it is. He has a plan and I must trust in Him. Okay, I can do that. At least I'll try. And after all, that's what it's all about right? Trying to do the best with what we have. And finally, don't sweat the small stuff. This kinda loops back to the beginning with the wedding preparations. It doesn't matter. Focus on love and you'll be okay. I have been inspired to walk with God and to trust in him to pick me up should I fall.
And I have been inspired by first Corinne, and then Gayle to be more honest. Both of them are doing the 30 Days of Truth. And now I will too. Stay tuned for those posts :)
Well Corinne, it may not be what you expected, but what do you think? Is this a good enough update? lol

Day 75
Wow, time flies. I have officially completed another task on my list!
55. Go on a picnic with Devon.
We did that last night. I invited Moe and Danielle to come with us because the more the merrier. Anyway, we went out to the park, the only thing is, the next time we plan a picnic, we have to remember the blanket. That kinda sucked, but we all had something to sit on to protect us from the grass, so it was okay.
Now, I technically can cross off 2 other things on my list... but I'm not going to quite yet.
56. Take beginner ballroom dancing lessons.
and
85. Take a dance class of some sort.
The reason I have 2 of these is because number 56 was originally to get Devon to take yoga with me, but he utterly refused that. He didn't refuse ballroom dancing though, so that's what it is. I'm thinking that I'll cross them off when the year of lessons is over. Yeah, that's what I'll do.
Anyway, that's all the news for my list that I have right now. My daily/weekly/monthly tasks are going very well. I feel much better now that I dropped those picture taking ones. I was stressing myself out with not being able to do them properly.
Have a good one!

Day 67
I have failed. Not altogether. But I have failed.
I'm officially marking the following 2 tasks as failed. Incomplete. I will try to continue taking pictures but it will be randomly when I feel like it and not every day, not even every week. Oh well.
2. Take 1 picture a day whether it’s a “good” picture or not.
3. Take one photo of myself every day! (Can NOT be the same as my daily picture.)
Also, my pushups every week has been unoffically changed to every day. I realized last night that my arms aren't as strong as they should be.
And to end on a high note, I'm making filet mignon and mashed potatoes for supper, the insurance guy's coming over to explain how our benefits work, we're signing up for ballroom dancing, and possibly going swimming tonight! Yay!

Day 59
So it's Month 2, Week 9 (Day 3/7), Day 59, Wednesday, September 2nd at 11:07 am. What am I doing? Sitting on my butt playing videogames. Again. I've been sick for nearly a week now and am once again, slacking.
Come on, Yvonne, get it together!
But on the upside, I have completed another task!
30. Buy new shoes and accessories to go with my gorgeous black dress.
Well technically I didn't buy accessories, but that's because I already own some that look great with it. But I DID buy shoes. Gorgeous dark purple heels with a flower on them. They're damn sexy.
I've also started on a couple of other projects, just haven't gotten them finished yet. They may not be done for a while, but oh well at least I've made progress.
Also, I've needed to adjust a couple of my tasks.
89. Make at least 50 bracelets.
This is getting changed down to 15, because I started making one the other day and wow, I forgot just how long it takes to make even 1. It can take a couple months if I'm busy, which I have been lately.
93. 1 millions grains of rice for freerice.com (14500/1,000,000)
I'm changing this one to 500,000.
56. Get Devon to go to at least 1 yoga class with me.
This has changed as I've discussed it many times with him and can understand his reasons behind not wanting to go. It has changed to take ballroom dancing lessons with him. Which we'll be signing up for in September. Yay!
73. Start taking yoga twice a week. (Or doing a full yoga routine at home once a week outside of my weekly yoga class.)
Well yoga is now more expensive then it used to be. So I think I'll change this to occassionally take yoga twice a week. I did it once already and I was SO sore lol.
71. Get a second/new job.
Well since I now have a supervisor I like, I don't want to quit anymore. I like my job. Sooooooo.... I'm gonna need to find something to replace this.
Let's see, I think that's it for the alterations. Anyway, I'm gonna get off my butt now so I can actually get some things done. Wish me luck!

Day 47
Okay, okay, I know. I'm doing terrible. I haven't completed any new tasks on my list and I'm not even doing well on the daily/weekly ones. My camera's half busted, so at least I have an excuse for those ones, but the rest, I really have no excuse other than the fact that I'm super lazy.
Here's a break down of everything:
Daily
1. Write down one good thing that happened every single day in a journal. I'm actually doing this one. Okay, some days I miss it, but I'll catch up on it the next day. So good for me.
2. Take 1 picture a day whether it’s a “good” picture or not. As I said, my camera is busted. Sometimes things that I KNOW I took pictures of aren't there when I load them to my computer, so I'm still trying to make it work properly. Hopefully I can get it repaired and don't have to get an entirely new camera.
3. Take one photo of myself every day! (Can NOT be the same as my daily picture.) Okay, I'm getting rather bored with this one. I was going to do this so I could do a "my year in photos" kinda thing where you make a little video that just pops from one picture to the next for every day of the year. The problem is that I look the same every day and it's boring taking the same pictures every day. Maybe I'll change it to like twice a week or something. I don't know, but I'm doing even worse with this one than I am with the other picture task because of the fact that I'm bored with it already.
4. Pray more. Say daily/nightly prayers. I'm working on it. Sometimes I remember, sometimes I don't. I try to pray once every 24 hour period, but really I forget a lot. I have to just keep working at it though, I'll get it.
5. Take a multivitamin EVERY DAY!!! I'm actually doing this one! I think I only forgot once and that's because I had forgotten to put my bottle of multivitamins in my bag when we went to stay the weekend somewhere else.
6. Brush teeth at least once a day! I am also doing this one! I don't think I've even forgotten this one once. Woot!
Weekly
7. Cook at least 1 meal a week. I think I missed the week that I spent almost every day at Dorothy's house. But other than that, we're doing well :) I'm planning pork ribs soon.
8. Do 2 groups of 3 sets of push-ups 2 times a week (Trying to raise the amount of pushups I can do at one time.) Last week I never did any and the week before that, I think I only did one set. I got this week's though. I'm so lazy.
9. Do bicycle abs exercise 2 times a week (outside of yoga class) I believe I missed the last two weeks and I haven't done any yet this week. I really need to stop being lazy.
10. Post 1 inspirational quote in a Facebook note every week. I missed a week. I'm not sure which week it was, but I missed one. And I have yet to do one this week.
11. Eat some fruit 3 times a week every week! (May increase in number, the farther it gets.) I'm keeping up on this one! Well, I still need one more fruit intake for this week, but other than that, I've been doing well! Woot!
12. Phone mom to visit at least once a week. (6/143) Well, I haven't actually been phoning her lately. But I've been visiting with her in person, so I'm counting that. After all, there's no point in phoning her when I'm in the same room as her, is there?
Okay, so maybe I'm not doing as bad as I thought I was. Just the pictures and the exercising and the praying. But I'm working on the praying and know that I need to get off my lazy butt. The camera wasn't really my fault.
33. Get a Buddha board.
I totally completed that one today! I just remembered that that one was on my list. Woot! Go me!

Okay, so maybe I'm not doing as bad as I thought I was. Just the pictures and the exercising and the praying. But I'm working on the praying and know that I need to get off my lazy butt. The camera wasn't really my fault.
33. Get a Buddha board.
I totally completed that one today! I just remembered that that one was on my list. Woot! Go me!

Day 35
Oops. I'm doing very well on my 101 in 1001 list except for a couple items. This blog being one of them. Well, here's to recap since my last update:
- I've missed a few of my daily pictures simply because I forgot, or I thought of it but was busy and decided to do it later (but then forgetting later), or because I forgot my camera at home, or because my camera is kinda broken. The screen is all cracked on the inside and doesn't work anymore, so for a while I wasn't sure if my camera worked at all since I didn't have access to my computer so I couldn't transfer the pictures from my memory card into my computer. I finally did so today and am glad to say that my camera does still work. Kinda. I have to put my eye up to the little hole and aim my pictures just like an old non-digital camera, which is fine during the day, but when it's dark out or dark in the room I'm in, I have a horrendous time aiming because not only is it difficult to see through the little hole properly in the dark, but while my screen is broken, it's still on. So I have this bright white screen next to my eye and I'm trying to see through a tiny hole in the dark. It doesn't work so well. But oh well, I need to step it up and actually get a picture every day.
- I've been doing my exercises but I never actually went to a yoga class last week because I was too busy. And unless I cut my family visiting short this week, I'll miss yoga again. Dang.
Umm... I completely lost my train of thought... oh well, till next time!
