reviewing my 2011 goals

i stumbled upon my goals for 2011 and was curious to see how i did.  I commented below each goal in italics. 


{1} learn to sew - I know the basics, but want to sew a pillow sham & learn how to do the basics
**not accomplished, but am currently taking sewing lessons!


{2} only go to the grocery store once a week - odd goal, but I ALWAYS end up having to go several times & it takes so much time & energy.
**i did pretty well with this. i still go about only once a week - goal accomplished!


{3} live a neater/cleaner life. okay, totally not measurable, but I have noticed that I have this cycle of my house/car/etc gets messy as I am busy during the week & then it takes me all day Saturday to clean it up. I want to figure out how to live a more organized day to day schedule where I am not letting everything pile up.
**too hard to measure. i am still messy. 


{4} read a book a month - could be a spiritual book or a book for fun, but once a month
**sadly no. get on the ball katie. 2012 has been better so far. 


{5} get into two more local boutiques with my button jewelry
*added one in 2011...hopefully i will get the courage to ask more soon 


{6} exercise 3x a week - enough said.
*no comment


{7} continue to blog on a semi-daily basis
*no comment. ouch. 


{8} journal & remember what God has done - my friend reminded me this week how important that is
*somewhat accomplished. wish i did more. 


{9} redecorate our master bedroom - we love the colors, but Philip wants to build a new bed with  storage & I love that idea.
*mostly accomplished. we like our bedroom a lot more than before and can fit all of our clothes in one room. (our closets are tinnnnny, so this was a major accomplishment.)


How did you do on your last year goals?

what are you doing for spring break?

I do not really like resolutions, but I do like goals & to do lists...so I have a few for 2011 & thought I would share. Perhaps this will help keep my accountable to doing some of them.

{1} learn to sew - I know the basics, but want to sew a pillow sham & learn how to do the basics
{2} only go to the grocery store once a week - odd goal, but I ALWAYS end up having to go several times & it takes so much time & energy.
{3} live a neater/cleaner life. okay, totally not measurable, but I have noticed that I have this cycle of my house/car/etc gets messy as I am busy during the week & then it takes me all day Saturday to clean it up. I want to figure out how to live a more organized day to day schedule where I am not letting everything pile up.
{4} read a book a month - could be a spiritual book or a book for fun, but once a month
{5} get into two more local boutiques with my button jewelry
{6} exercise 3x a week - enough said.

{8} journal & remember what God has done - my friend reminded me this week how important that is
{9} redecorate our master bedroom - we love the colors, but Philip wants to build a new bed with  storage & I love that idea.

...so that is a start...i'm sure there's more...
