How 'Bout Them 2012 Goals!

Well, it's been a month.  Time for a checkup on the 2012 goals.


#1 - Early to bed, early to rise.  Ooooh, oooh, definite points for this one.  I have been getting up early every morning and have been rewarded by some stunning sunrises!





#2 - Drawers, closets, cupboards, pantries of the M household.  Ahem.  Well, 3 drawers done this month.  At this rate, I should finish half the kitchen by the close of 2012.  ::sigh::  Any person in my household accusing me of desperately racing to clean out drawer #3 so I could take this picture should be assumed to be bitter, biased and uncooperative with the spirit of this post.





#3 - Meal plans and shopping list.  Did a splendid job on month 1.  We are now in month 2.  If I don't get a meal list together by this afternoon, I am in jeopardy of falling of the wagon here.

#4 - Prairie Fire Throw.  Going swimmingly.  I pick it up when sitting with grouchy children doing their math.  Keeps me very calm.




(This is my grandmother's old magazine and sewing box.  I think she would be glad that I'm knitting.)

#5 - Blogging.  Starts my day out with a smile.  Right on track here.

#6 - More time spent with kids out of doors.  Uh . . . well . . . hmmmm.  Let's see.  I did pack them all up one day to head to Hendersonville, NC to go hiking.  Stopped for gluten-free pizza.  Chomped on pizza and sipped Izze Sparkling Sodas.  Drove by thrift/antique store.  Stopped at thrift/antique store.  Shopped thrift/antique store for 1 1/2 hours.  Ran out of time for hiking.  But found this adorable vintage ricer.  Ahem.




Okay . . . so/so.  The great thing about goals:  you may not attain them, but they do keep you headed in the right direction.

How are you doing with your 2012 goals?
