how did i do

So it is January 1st, the start of a new year. I'm not entirely sad to be seeing the ass end of 2011, it was a very busy roller coaster ride for us and it's nice to see it all behind us. Twelve months ago I made myself a to-do list and then I kinda sorta forgot about it a little bit. I pulled it back up to see how I fared.......

Get the girls their SIN cards.
Absolutely 100% not done. I'm not sure I even attempted to complete this.

Get my passport.
Again, not done. I think I may have googled it, but it never went any further than that. Both these items are pretty easy to complete, I have absolutely no excuse. I have to get on the passport thing though or ML & JB shall disown me as friends.

Make 12 scarves to donate.
Between ML & I we donated 16 scarves to charity. So yes I did make my goal of 12.


Make 12 cloths to donate to Wesley.
I knit lots and lots of cloths and I gave a lot to family and friends. I have a stack to send to Wesley with my next donation, but I'm not sure how many are there.

Read 15 books.
Not quite sure how well I did with this one, since I neglected to keep track. I am going to guess that I was in the neighbourhood. Looking forward to more reading this year on my new kobo, thanks Mama! Oh and I'll keep a list.

Participate in my second Relay for Life.
I did, with my Jersey Girls and we were a Dream Team. Plans are in the works to participate again this year. It was one of the best nights of my life!

Do yoga once a week.
Oh I sucked miserably at this one. Moving on.....
 
Lose 35 lbs.
Again..... moving on.

Have a perogie making day.
Nope.

Drink more water.
The past few months have been great for water drinking. Abby and I have been challenging to make sure we're getting it all in.

Drink more green tea.
I've kind of slacked off the past month or two. My allergies have not been appreciative.

Watch 10 movies from my "to-be-watched" stack.
Again, I didn't keep track, but I think I was in the ball park here too.

Cut my hair short.
Did it! Love it! Wish I had done it ages ago!


Stay tuned for my 2012 to-do list!!

Sounds like you got a lot of important things done. Don't beat yourself up about the things that you didn't. I keep meaning to try the green tea thing, but I suck at developing the tea-drinking habit. Oh, and try goodreads.com to list nad keep track of your books if you want- I love it. Happy new year!

This is why I don't make list...I hate not being able to check it all off. LOL! =)

Well thank you very much for reminding me that I had been using goodreads to track my books last year. Are you kidding me? Totally forgot at some point through the year. I have almost 15 listed for last year, so I clearly killed that goal. Thanks Allison!

Kaci apparently I don't suffer from that affliction lol.

Hey looks like you completed more then you didn't though, that has to count for something!!

Why do you need a passport for if may be curious? We only get one when travelling to other continents.

Shan said...

Goofball - you now need a passport to cross the border into the US. We are fairly close to the border and lots of friends and family hop over to shop or go for dinner and we aren't able to join them despite many invitations.
