2011 Resolutions Progress Report

Reach $2,000 in my Vietnam fund. As of today, the balance is $1,111.10. I’m at 55.5% completion.
Max out my Roth IRA. As of today, I contributed $475 for 2011. Uh, only at 9.5% completion.
Make $3,000 extra income outside my full-time job. As of today I’m at $510.21. I’m at 17.01% completion.

Complete 10 sewing tasks.

Mom made me a starter sewing kit!

My mom honed my button sewing skill this past weekend. I have a shirt embellished by many black buttons and she had me redo all the loose buttons and recommends me resewing all the original buttons. She also made me a very cute sewing kit.
Publish three food blogs a week. For every week that I’m off, I will up the Vietnam fund goal by ten dollars. Let’s say the reason why my Vietnam fund is doing so well (almost $500 since the beginning of the year) is because I keep failing this goal. I’m still very glad I made this goal because publishing once or twice a week is better than how I was doing at the end of last year.
Try out 10 Vietnamese recipes. No progress.
Try 10 slow cook recipes. 1/10 done. I made a slow cook beef stew last month.
Visit two new states. Not yet but have plans of visiting neighboring states when I visit bestie in Massachusetts.
Have a new experience once a week. Still going strong. This week’s new experience is going to my first NBA game this Friday. Lakers vs. Heat!
Visit best friend in Boston. Bought my plane ticket!
Take a trip with Alan. No progress.
Leave the country. No progress.
Read 40 books. I’m more behind schedule than I was this time last year when I had this goal. Am at 4/40 and am halfway through 3 books.

Drink 24 oz of water every day. So far so good! Surprisingly easy when you have a fun 24oz pink water bottle whose lid pops up when you push a button. I love pushing buttons. No really. I’m like this dude.
Have an active date with a friend twice a month. So far so good!
Donate to every sponsorship for charity my friends take part in. So far, not applicable.
Start a shared gratitude journal with my little from Big Brothers & Big Sisters of America. Bought the journal but haven’t started.
Run a 5K for charity. In November!
