Personal Finance
- Save $1,204 in the Gift Fund for my parents. $850, 70.5% completed. Thank you, tax refund!
- Contribute $2,000 in a Roth IRA for 2012. No progress.
- Make $3,000 outside from full-time job income. $545.44, 18.18% completed.
Leisure
- Try 10 more Vietnamese recipes. No progress. It seems I did all the easy recipes last year when I had this same resolution.
- Complete 10 sewing learning projects. I totally forgot I made this resolution again.
- Read 50 books. 8/50.
- Read one Neil Gaiman book. I bought the Kindle version of American Gods.
- Build a fort. I’m saving this for one of my dates with Kim this year.
- Blog at least three times a week per blog. This is one of those resolutions I make knowing I will definitely fail. I make it because in striving for three a week, I may hit one or two and that’s better than zero!
Finish Sketchbook Project 2012 in time. Finished product here! - Visit two new states. I keep thinking about this goal. I’ve been to California, 6 times (San Diego, 5 times!); New York, 4 times; Pennsylvania soon to be 2 times; Georgia, 2 times; Massachusetts, 4 times; and Nevada soon to be 2 times. I keep revisiting states! Three of the four planned trips this year are to states I’ve already visited. Hrm.
- Go to Marfa, Texas with Kim. We decided on November.
Relationships and Well-Being
- Visit my sister in Pennsylvania. My sister was super sweet and paid for my airline ticket. June!
- Volunteer 10 hours outside my commitment to Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America. 2/10. Food bank!
- Work out at least once per week. So far so good! I go for long walks with Bob and am actually doing some kind of exercise for at least 30 minutes at least once a week.
- Write my morning page at least 120 times this year. 17/120.
- Buy myself flowers four times. No progress.
