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?
