monthly update

1.  Lose weight.  Last year I set a goal and failed.   This year I am going to not set a number and just hope it is less than what I started at. This includes good eating habits and exercising.  I tried.  I failed.  I am hopeful... although I have no reason to be.
2.  Read at least 1 book a month.  I liked this one from last year and have decided to keep it.  Nope.  But we did start going to the library again.  And I did start a book.
3.  Get at least 8 hours of sleep at least 4 times per week.  I liked this one from last year and I think it is wise that I keep it this year. This one seems impossible these days.  I do understand the important -- I just can't do it.
4.  Blog at least 12 times per month.  I am lowering the number but keeping the goal.  Success!
5.  Refinish the new kitchen table.  Really.  Nope.  Not even an attempt.  But I am not going to worry about it until my landlord fixes the hole in the dining room wall.
6.  Start a 529 account.  No.  But my employer might do it for me.  Just waiting for the "orientation" to figure that all out.
7.  Start a savings account. I am still adjusting to the new finances.  I will worry about this in the fall.
8.  Eat out no more then 2 times per month.  I think it is important to keep this one from last year.  Turns out this is fairly easy to accomplish when you live in a tiny town.
9.  Learn how to use the video feature of the camera and learn how to use Photoshop.  Nope
10. Pay all bills on time. I think this is an important one to keep.  Nope. 
11. Make a decision about going to graduate school.  If going then start the process of making it happen.  Not going to grad school this year.  Will re-evaluate next year.
12.  The secret.  Not ready to say it out loud but need to make a decision and make it happen.  See above.

 I might need to adjust these goals for next month now that EVERYTHING in my life has changed.  Any suggestions???
