February Goals recap:
Here are my goals for 2010. The ones in bold are ones I’ve begun working on:
1. Paint pottery in Olympia for my apartment.
2. Get eyes checked and get NEW GLASSES! Done! I found a new optometrist, who I really like, just a block away from my house. I was right, time for a new prescription. My left eye had worsened, although my right eye stayed the same. After he told me that, I felt all lopsided until I got my new glasses, which I pretty much love. I like that I can cross this off my list. DONE!
3. Reorganize storage in my apartment for maximum efficiency. Again, not much progress on this one. I’ve done some casual rearranging, but what I need to do is a major, all weekend overhaul. I want to go through my closets, and toss, toss, toss things that are needing to go!
4. Reconnect with local old friends. Nothing new this month. I’ve been too busy rushing from family event to family event!
5. Dallas in February! Well, Melissa, Karianne and Natalie all met at Kelly’s house in Texas, but I was unable to go. Not enough money. Boohoo.
6. Take more weekend mini trips. No new weekend trips, but I did spend a weekend in Seattle for Onnie’s birthday. Doesn’t really count, because I drove back to Tacoma each night to sleep.
7. Lose 24 more pounds. New target: Lose 11 more lbs. Excellent.
8. Take yoga or toning class for Hawaii.
9. Buy a cute bikini!
10. Hawaii 2010!!
11. Begin plans for Iceland 2011.
12. Sew at least one apron and some curtains for my room.
13. Learn to crochet.
14. Be more “Mad Men”. This month this is mostly manifesting itself in more clothes for work. Yay.
15. Go camping.
16. Get a new passport.
17. Find a sofa that fits my style. Working on it. Probably gonna take Dana’s when she gets a new one.
18. Frame Weezer’s print.
19. Find a classy, inexpensive headboard.
20. Buy one piece of original art.
21. Start searching for new cars!!! Ugh. I’ve started searching. Looking for a new car is emotionally draining and bad for the soul. It makes me want to cry all the time. And I’ve only been looking for two days. Boo.
22. Scrapbook journal monthly, at least. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna amend this to be regular journaling, instead of online. Having a hard time remembering the scrap journal, but I’ve been working on writing in my normal journal, purchased this New Year at the local drugstore, at least once a week.
23. Take more pictures. I’m on a roll. Of course, my zoom on my camera? Broken. And if I buy a new car? Can’t afford to buy a camera. God, money is depressing. But I’m still taking pictures more. Took tons when Onnie and the family were in town.
24. Become a regular at my neighborhood businesses. Doing a lot more local shopping, and the girls at Corina bakery remember me and my regular order. Kinda cool. Also branching out to new local businesses, like my optometrist at the Downtown Vision Center.
25. Pay off one student loan. My smallest loan has between 6 and 7 hundred on it. My goal is to have this paid off by December 31st.
26. Shop vintage more. This month I bought a vintage apron, as well as some salt and pepper shakers for my mom, who collects them. Gosh, that seems like it happened forever ago! I can’t believe it’s only been a month.
27. Sign up for Happy Mail.
Feeling good. Feeling like I’m right on target for my weight loss goal, which is awesome. I hadn’t realized what a busy month it’s been! Hopefully when I do my March recap I’ll be able to report the purchase of a new car! (Eek.)
