#2085 August recap

I have a cool planner that I use to keep track of personal stuff. There is a two-page monthly calendar spread and I like to write in the highlights of each day using colorful markers and stickers and different fonts. Sometimes a day will have only one little thing, like August 14 just had "Zumba". Other days will have lots of little tidbits like August 20 that had "LA MIRADA/Starbucks/SAN DIEGO/lunch at Fairweather/drink at Florent/dinner at Half Door Brewing Co/walk downtown.

Looking back at the calendars always makes me happy, and August's calendar is full of cool stuff. Let's recap!

NOT GOOD THINGS:

• The worst thing that happened was the accident with the Toyota. T and his friend weren't hurt, but the car was a total loss.
• A bummer thing (but only for me) is that I only went to the gym three times, so I lost money on my monthly investment in myself. I figure I need to go at least eight times to get my money's worth on my monthly payment. There was just so much other stuff going on that I couldn't fit gym time in to the schedule.

GOOD THINGS:

• Six concerts - three that I volunteered for at Red Butte Garden and three that I paid for .
• I got a tattoo!
• We had a work event at the Salt Lake Bees baseball game. 
• MT and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary.
• I went to San Diego and La Mirada to visit my mom and my sister. A good time was had by all.
• I reached a settlement on the Toyota with the insurance company that I felt was fair.
• I bought a new-to-me car that I like a lot.
• T is doing well

OTHER STUFF THAT IS FUN:

• I watched three movies
• I finished four books
• Utah football won their season opener
• Gave 32.25 hours to Red Butte Garden
• Lost 1.2 lb

LOOKING FORWARD:

• My BFF LA is coming to visit for a weekend!
• I've got three (maybe four or five but three for certain) concerts I get to see!
• Football season is here!
• The seasons are changing!

I hope that you all had a wonderful and memorable month of August and that good things are coming your way in September!
