2001 Resolution Report Card

Here's where I check in and see how I did with the resolutions I made at the beginning of the year.

1. Write more - 8/10 - I've been doing a lot of writing but not for pleasure (not for mine, anyway). It has been very difficult to find the time for my own work but it doesn't pay as well, or at all, for that matter.
2. Be happy - 6/10 - A better grade than last year but still not great. I have definitely been less blue but not as less as I'd like.
3. Keep up my fitness routine - 9/10 - I did incredibly well until November when we moved. A new body, a new lifestyle. I will return to the regime to a certain extent because although thinner, I still feel lazy.
4. Save money - 10/10 - We were little money-saving chipmunks. I'm still not sure how it happened. Now that we've got a mortgage and my job is really questionable, I'm sure glad we did it, although I'd love to spend a bunch (or at least a little) on a vacation of some sort.
5. Eat at home/take lunch to work - 7/10 - Definitely more dinners at home, but lunches are nearly impossible, especially since we can't use the microwave at work. I can only eat sandwiches so often.
6. Improve my time management - 5/10 - Not much improvement, though I don't think I slid backwards...
7. Update Vertigogirl.com - 6/10 - Not nearly often enough.
8. Be nicer to my hands - 4/10 - And I think I need to add my back and shoulders to that list...
9. Unclutter my house - 5/10 - You'd think moving would have gotten rid of more of it but I think we currently just have most of our cutter packed away. Does that count as an improvement?
10. Learn to make sushi - 2/10 - Bought the mat, bought the book, didn't do anything else. Sigh. Ate lots of sushi made by others, though...
11. Get massage treatments for myself - 5/10 - I was going regularly for a while but fell out of the habit. My bod isn't happy about it, either.
12. Call friends I don't see very often - 1/10 - I suck at this.
13. Take some trips - 0/10 - See saving money above.
14. Go back to ballet class - 4/10 - Went for a while but fell off again. Plan to return in the new year. Will be nice not to be the fat chick anymore.
15. Spend more time helping my mum - 9/10 - Living in the same house makes this easier and inevitable. Glad to help, most of the time.
16. Continue growing my hair past the nasty medium phase - 10/10 - Am still growing despite continued nastiness. How long does this stage last?
17. Challenge myself - 6/10 - Took some risks but took some safes too.
18. Share the housework out more evenly - 0/10 - Bwa ha ha! Nice thought, Kate.
19. Wear a uniform at work - 8/10 - Did it for quite a while but got bored with same clothes all the time. Vary back and forth. Plus, scrubs are too big now.
20. Drink more wine/grape juice - 2/10 - Definitely drank more but it wasn't wine. Is vodka good for you too?
21. Keep up the campaign for Shiny Clothes - 10/10 - It is my personal mission, after all.
