captain_slinkyGoing to look back on my 30 (THIRTY!) New Year's Resolutions here and list out the ones I have managed to stick with. I haven't actually counted these things yet, was just listening to Mister Myxyzptlk tell me how much a failed. SO this post may end on a positive or negative note; my hope is for at least 5 of the 30 Resolutions to still be valid.
And so, in no particular order, THE RESOLUTIONS I KEPT (SO FAR):
- Get My Family Out Of The House More. Despite a bit of staggering, we've made it out a handful of times to do things that we normally would not have done - the most recent of which having been to go out for Ice Cream last night! I consider this one viable due to vague wording of the original resolution :)
- Kinda Vegetarian. My goal was to take the meatless option whenever a non-obnoxious version was available, and I have done this *perfectly*. Which goes hand in hand with the other one I just saw that I have followed through with...
- Cooking Lighter. I *almost* cooked one of my cop-out heavy dishes the other night (Cheesy Spanish Rice) and was thwarted by a lack of ambition. Good thing, too, as it would have had HAMBURGER in it, which would have also knocked out my "Kinda Vegetarian" accomplishment as well!
- Ten Bucks A Week. So far so good on this one, I'm even ten bucks ahead! WOO!
I also have these following resolutions as "Too Soon To Tell" and/or "Ongoing" resolutions that can't be called complete failures yet:
Organize storage unit
Organize Lamp Making materials
Organize Comic Book Collection
Minimize kitchen clutter
Do four "shows" this year (craft, comic, etc)
Twelve lamps this year
Make a YouTube Video with Molly
Finish "Reaper's Bridge"
Finish two other games
YEEP! That's only *four confirmed*... but with NINE potentially viable resolutions still going, by golly this just might work! I'm making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS!
