GOAL!!

Sometimes you stumble upon ideas that are "so you" (so me) that you just can't stand it. This is one of those projects. I originally saw this idea while blog surfing one day and I knew immediately that I had to do it.
I loved this for two main reasons: #1 I love goals #2 I love subway signs.
Now I love it for three additional reasons: #1 It turned out AMAZING! (even more amazing then my original inspiration if I do say so myself) #2 It reminds me every day about our family goals. #3 It looks beautiful and very very me.
Okay, how about 4 reasons? #4 Brandon loves it too. No joke! Seriously, I made this one Sunday afternoon while Brandon was napping. I was very excited to show it to him when he woke up and see if he liked okay. Okay enough for me to put it up in the house and guess what he said? I qoute (ish) "Actually, I really really like it. I think it's really neat." So there! Happiest day (happy dance)! I seriously could not believe he liked it but I was SO excited he did and a little bit proud because I made it and he said he really REALLY liked it.

So, want to see it?

Da da da dum!
(seems to be a lot of those here lately)

yay beans!: Our 2010 subway sign of awesome goal remembrance. Now we won't forget our goals because they will be staring at us straight in the face (and rather stylishly I might add)

Any chance you want to guess what our biggest goals are this year?

I tried to circle them for you but photoshop and blogger (and me) are having a problem. Apparently there's an internal error and I'm thinking they think it's my fault... and it's not.
So let's pretend that Keep it Clean, Do your Dishes, and Eat at the Table are circled and then Brush and Floss has a millions arrows pointing to it. Those are the first goals that will make that blissful journey into habits.

So...we are doing pretty well.
Except I can't seem to remember to brush my children's teeth and they can't seem to remember that toothpaste isn't finger paint.

And obviously that's a lot of goals so we aren't trying to tackle them all at the same time. But we're working on it.

Do you love it? Yes, you love it! Okay, you might not love it but you can appreciate that it is very me and that I love it. Correct? Correct-a-mundo!

By the way, three additional things I would like you to notice in this photograph (besides the fact that the top of my table looks a little bare... I'm getting to it.)

1. See that cute red decorating do dad? Brandon bought that for me, for Christmas. Even after he moaned and groaned over and over in the store about how ugly and pointless it was (He was wrong, and realized it. That's why he went back to the store and bought it for me.) I believe it might possibly be the first thing "I" have ever purchased that served no purpose other than looking amazing. I'm happy about it. (Plus, Brandon said it was on super extra clearance!)
2. See that beautiful green table? My Dad and I built that. Then I brought it home and caulked it using kitchen/bath (non paintable) caulk (on accident of course. No one would do that on purpose) and then had to spent 3+ hours scraping off caulk so I could paint it. That was fun... But, it was worth it because: TA DA! It's beautiful.
3. See my cute little Valentines garland I made the other night? Just perfectly long enough to drape over my perfectly beautiful little green table. It makes me smile because it's happy and lovely. (I love v. day decor. It's very happy... and lovely)

So... if you couldn't tell by the length of this post I am kind of a little bit excited about my sign. Sorry I had to blab about it so long. Leave me comments about how excited you are. Because I want you to.
