Things in italics are new since June...
"In Progress" Goals:
#70: Read 10 books recommended to me by friends.
- The Hunger Games
- The Girl on Fire
- Mocking Jay
- Game of Thrones Book 1
- 50 Shades of Grey
- 50 Shades Darker
- 50 Shades Freed
- There's Cake in My Future
- Where We Belong
- Bloom (amazing book...buy it, read it, keep it!)
So I did read 5 books this summer, not necessarily all recommended by friends, but still 10/10 books read. I guess that's not a total failure. P.S. Skip the 50 Shades series...they are terrible.
#89: Document each task completed on my blog (with photos as appropriate.) This is continually in progress.
#101: Back up all my photos and music. Definitely still working on this. I need to and want to reopen my smugmug account for this purpose.
"Summer To-Do List" Goals:
#7: Eat at 5 restaurants I've never been to.
Hoping to make a list so I can focus this goal a little more.
#8: Don't complain about anything for a week.
Fail, big giant fail. I didn't even think about this at all, and I was pretty complain-y when I was overdue again. I need to try again, maybe this holiday season.
#10: Learn to cook 10 different dishes.
I've been trying to figure out a way to make some dishes that Kayla will eat and we will enjoy as well. It's turning out to be a huge project. Thinking about buying the Weelicious Cookbook...anyone have this?
#13: Learn to sew (hems, holes buttons.)
Not yet, I need to have my mom teach me or something. :)
#27: Make a list of 10 places to see before I die.
These simple lists and I didn't even do those...again maybe these will be new winter goals.
#42: Write done 100 things that make me happy.
See above.
#51: Go to a concert.
I didn't do this over the summer, but tickets to Brian Regan (comedian, I guess that's not a concert.) and potentially Maroon 5 with my cool older sister. :)
#52: Meet a new mommy friend.
Success! I started my own meet up on meetup.com and met a couple people through there, a few I've kept in touch with and now I have a group of mommy friends on facebook. So excited about this!
#54: Take Kayla to the zoo.
Ugh, I hope to do this soon. We went to a pumpkin patch last weekend and next weekend we may be going to the Shedd Aquarium, but no zoo yet.
#67: Plan weekly meals for 3 months.
Fail.
#68: Make a list of friends to keep in touch with regularly.
Fail.
#73: Visit a friend out of state.
Fail...unless you count a wedding, which I don't. :)
#79: Shop at a farmer's market.
Fail, but considering the farmer's market this weekend with fun Halloween festivities.
Tomorrow night I will probably write a quick updated "Hope To-Do" list for the remainder of fall/winter and I have actually checked at least one off. Sorry no photos today, but I did post yesterday semi-secretively. :) Go check it out. I'll be back with Halloween posts, including a DIY kids costumes post.
