1. Read more books & Bible stories to Abby, now that she’s a little older & kind of understands words.

I was reading a page or two a day (average) from her Bible storybook, along with another book or so up until the last week or so…need to get back on that one.

2. Update the blog every 2 weeks, minimum.

Didn’t do so well on that in February.  Oops.

3. Sew a thing. Going for a quilt, but completing any one project will satisfy this goal. Other than a fabric flower, that is, since those take about 5 minutes and I do by hand. I also saw a really cute tree skirt on a blog I read which I’d like to attempt too.

Abby’s quilt is in process.  I need to finish the actual quilting & binding.  & I’m planning on making a matching pillow  [pillows?] with some of the fabric that did not make it onto the quilt.  Also, I pinned lots of crafty sew-y things on pinterest.  So there’s that.

4. Read all the books I got for my birthday & Christmas this year:

Reading = fail this month…still halfway through approximately ALL THE BOOKS.

5. Catch up on at least 1 TV series [some options: Chuck, House, Bones, HIMYM.]

I caught up on HIMYM while on PTO, so I’m up to the current season, so this is officially complete!  Also, I’m halfway through re-watching Charmed, if that counts.  We’ll see, maybe I’ll see if I can knock off another show or two [I’m looking at you, Bones].

6. Clean & purge, room by room [including closets].

I’m going to consider this completed, as I got through all the things I really wanted to.  I still have one bag to take to Goodwill [after the 3 bags + 1 AE box I took on PTO!].  I do still need to figure out a way to store/display/document Abby’s artwork & pictures from school.

7. Play more Wii Fit + go for walks with Abby this spring/summer/fall. That is my version of working out.

I weighed myself on the balance board in January & went for walks during my PTO [Bones was very happy to be loved again].

8. Keep up-to-date with photobooks &/or scrapbooks for Abby.

N/A right now since we’re only 2 months into 2012.

9. Bake more things [use the fun chocolate, etc. chips I liberated from the chocolate, etc. chip collection at Dave & Karen’s house!]

Still need to do this.  I watched Food Network all day on Sunday, February 12 [chocolate weekend!].  I also made muffins to celebrate having a kitchen island.  I’m so domestic.

10. Think of a 10th item for this list. Play with our camera & learn more about all the fun things it does + learn more about photo-editing.

I got Photoshop & have been having fun with the PW [Pioneer Woman] Actions…favorites so far = bring on the eyes, slight lighten, slight sharpen, & boost.
