How Am I Doing?
Remember at the beginning of the year, I actually made a few New Year’s resolutions…what was I thinking?
Half Year Status Update
Just like the good corporate citizen I am, where I review my annual work goals with my boss at the mid-year period, I thought it would be a good idea to do the same for my New Year’s resolutions. Here’s where we are:
- Read The Hunger Games Trilogy
- Status – Complete
- Watch The Hunger Games
- Status – Complete
- Status – Complete
- Finish the Blanket/Coffin Cover project
- Status – Made minimal progress…now that the blogathon is over, I can pick it up again
- Travel overseas
- Status – No progress on this yet and nothing in the foreseeable future
- Get down to 190 pounds and stay below 195 all year
- Status – went the wrong way on this one and just hit 200 for the first time in years
- Grow at least one kind of vegetable
- Status – this was a bad idea, because it required Thaddeus to participate…he won’t
- Blog an average of at least twice a week (and yes, this one counts!)
- Status – With the successful blogathon, I think I’ll meet this goal handily
- Thank someone daily
- Status – either in person or via e-mail or phone call, this has definitely been happening
Honestly, I’m still glad I set some goals for myself this year, even though I won’t meet them all. And it’s even nice to have a chance to publicly assess them. With the most recent Supreme Court ruling, I may soon be adding marriage as a goal.
The blogathon has also prompted me to do a bit more fiber work than I might have without it. A pretty impressive month, no?
