Resolution check-in
I figured that since it's about half-way through the year that I should check in with the resolutions that I made in January and see what I have and haven't accomplished. So, here we go...
Wear more shiny clothes! 9/10 - Mission accomplished! I have included quite a few shiny clothes in my wardrobe. I also recently bought a shiny, silvery tankini for our vacation. It's the swimsuit of the future!
Be happy 3/10 - On and off. This is not one of the most successful resolutions I made this year. I made a few calls to some counsellors this week, so we'll see what happens.
Exercise regularly 7/10 - Again, this one has been on and off. It started out well with regular swimming but I lost my motivation after a couple months. I have been walking, biking and doing ballet on a semi-regular basis, though.
Eat more tofu 10/10 - Done and done. Many innocent soybeans have died this year to feed my tofu cravings. Mmmm.
Go dancing more 6/10 - I have done much dancing although it has come to a screeching halt since I sprained my ankle. I should be ready to rock again pretty soon, though.
Actually do some of the craft ideas I think of 0/10 - Not so much with the crafts. Maybe as it gets closer to Christmas...
Listen to music around the house 6/10 - My life has been more musical of late but I still spend much of my time in silence. I sing in my head, though.
Be nicer to my hands 8/10 - I've been getting regular massage and chiro for my hands/wrists. This has helped a whole bunch. I don't think I've done even one contrast arm bath, though. Bad Vertigogirl!
Relax -4/10 - Bwaa haa haa!
Forgive more easily 6/10 - I think I'm doing a little better on this one. Not every mistake is the end of the world for me or anyone else.
Be less afraid of failure 7/10 - Again, I'm not a fearless warrior but I've put more of myself out there this year. It feels pretty good.
Adopt a catchphrase 0/10 - I'd forgotten all about this one. Hmmm. I'll have to work on it.
Initiate hugs 2/10 - I think I did this for about 2 weeks but have now returned to my huggee position rather than the hugger.
Kiss more ?/10 - (heh) I'm not telling!
Get others to wear shiny clothes 10/10 - This has probably been the most successful of my resolutions. Many, many people have started wearing shiny things thanks to my badgering. Yay!
Get regular (tax deductible) manicures 0/10 - I have not had even one manicure this year. :(
Spend as much time as I can in my pajamas 8/10 - I've had lots of quality pajama time this year. PJ's rule!
Pet the cats more 8/10 - Again, this isn't a lewd innuendo, and yes, I've paid more attention to the kitties.
Phone my friends 6/10 - I'd probably score about a 5/10 on this one. I call more but still probably not enough.
Unpack some of the boxes that are still sitting in our bedroom since we moved in (last may) 10/10 - I did this! I spent a few days on a rampage so it doesn't look like we are just moved in anymore. It still looks like a hurricane hit, but at least not that we just moved in.
