Welcome back to my weekly goal update!! On a blog post last month, I shared about how I was going to start tracking my monthly goals- click here to see the original post. To accomplish my goals, since I am an Obliger, I work best with outside accountability (read The Four Tendencies for more information on that). So my plan is to post my monthly goals and then do a weekly update. This helps keep me on track & holds me accountable. Each week find my monthly goal update here on the blog. Last week I posted my May goals (click here to see that post), here is an update on how those are going!)

Shows I am currently watching:
Schitt’s Creek– LOVE this show so much. I will say that it took until about 1/2 way through season 2 for me to really LOVE it, so if you are watching, keep it up, it is totally worth it. We just finishing up the 6th ( and last) season. But it is not available on Netflix yet… luckily we found out that it is on Hulu live!!! Yay!! Crisis averted!!
Grace and Frankie– this show is hilarious, oh my gosh!!! I am in season 3 and love it! I had this on one evening, as I was working on organizing my files & it made time really fly by!!
