I'm here!

My blogging has been quite random lately, but I've noticed that just about everyone's has been. I think it's the time of year, what do you think?

This week was a scheduled week off for working out. With our new workout schedule, we've added more strength training and it calls for 6 weeks on and then 1 week off for recovery. No, we don't work out every day for 6 weeks... I don't actually know why there's a week off, but my husband says there is so that's what I'm doing! Don't ask me tough questions! :-P

I feel a little ridiculous since I didn't workout a whole lot last week since my sister and niece were visiting from Michigan. I plan to hit it hard next week though so I guess it doesn't really matter...

Financially, things are going great. I wanted to try and fund our IRA's this year. Our max contribution for 2010 is $5,000 each so that was my goal and I shouldn't have any problem hitting that goal! I'm incredibly proud of that since we just opened the IRAs last month and were able to fully fund them in just the last few months of the year. I also researched which mutual funds I wanted to use and after setting up the IRA's, I made those purchases.

Nothing exciting...but necessary nonetheless.

We've also been saving diligently toward a vacation. Where are we going you ask? Remember, I told you not to ask me tough questions!!    ...the truth is, we don't know. We have a lot of options and we're just waiting to see if a timeshare option pulls through or not. At the end of this month, we will have $3,600 so we will be able to go where we want regardless of the timeshare situation. More details to come but it's been a while since we've taken a major vacation so I'm excited!

I mentioned in a previous post how I started using Google Reader and love it. You can actually follow other people who use it which I'm just now figuring out. If you use it, let me know so I can follow you on there. Anytime you read a good post from one that you follow, you can click "Share it" and then I will be able to see it too. I think it's a cool way to see what other blogs people follow!

I hope everyone is doing well!
