As most of
you know, This year, I am very goal oriented. I know it is a sickness but I am
always working on something, and the beauty of the internet is that you guys
keep me accountable. So how am I doing
on my New Year’s Resolutions?
1. Remodel a bathroom – working on it. Trying to figure out the timing
2. Start the remodel of the kitchen. The basic items will be ordered and I need to talk to an architect about a load bearing wall that I want to remove. The kitchen remodel will begin in earnest in January 2013, but I want to spend this year, planning, purchasing items and laying the ground work of electrical. – I have decided on the refrigerator. Hey it’s something.
3. Take a flower design class – Ordered books for floral design and read two in January
4. Learn Italian – Listening to the tapes
5. Knit three baby items – One down and two to go
6. Smock four outfits– Working on Easter.
7. Work out three times a week and lose 30 pounds. That is 2.5 pounds a month... I will have to keep an eye on that goal. – I haven’t worked out consistently but finally found a work out class I like.
8. Sunday dinners with the family two times a month. – Completed for January
9. A week spent with the family at the beach. – Doing research for the beach house
Baby sweater is finished, Easter outfit is pleated and I am working on smocking it… hint three ducks down, two to go.
I have a better chance of completing my goals because I break them down into bite size pieces and I keep them visible. So what’s on the agenda for February.
1. Knit baby hat for a gift.
2. Finish Fletcher’s Easter outfit.
3. Sew duvet cover for my daughter’ s condo
4. Garden cleaned and rototilled
5. CD 1 of Italian finished
6. Work out three times a week
7. Read two more floral design books
8. Seeds ordered
9. Purchase socks and underwear for everyone… Hey it is Feb. so what else can I buy?
10. Clean all the bedding in the house
11. Research glass for the greenhouse
12. Clean out potting shed and get ready for spring
