2002 Resolution Report Card

- So it's incredibly late. So sue me.
  1. Maintain fitness level - 9/10 - I slacked off last fall during our renovations but got back on the wagon. I almost have biceps to write home about.
  2. Learn to market myself - 7/10 - I have been doing much better at the marketing thing even though it is absolutely not my favourite thing to do. The website helps.
  3. Learn basic electrical and plumbing skills - 7/10 - Did a bunch of this during our renovations but I would still like to increase my skill level substantially. I want to be able to install outlets and lights where there aren't any currently.
  4. Learn to make sushi and Thai food - 5/10 - I've tried a couple times but haven't been that successful. Take out is still so much better. Except when it gives me food poisoning.
  5. Decrease clutter - 6/10 - I'd give this one a higher score except that I'm sitting in the office - a.k.a. the room where we dump everything that doesn't belong anywhere else
  6. Decrease stuff in general - 5/10 - Haven't done well on this one. *sigh*
  7. Return to dance classes - 8/10 - I did ballet and hip hop for most of the year last year.
  8. Find some new girlfriends to go dancing with - 7/10 - I have a few more girlfriends now but I haven't been great at meeting new people.
  9. Grow out my hair to its actual colour - 2/10 - Uh, I tried, then I got bored and did a bunch of streaks. My hair is getting long though...
  10. Continue saving money - 7/10 - We'd done really well, then blew a lot of it on the bathroom renos.
  11. Be more adventurous - ?/10 - I really don't know how to score this one. I have no idea if I was more adventurous last year.
  12. Do more cool crafts - 8/10 - It has been more in the realm of renovations but I also learned some beading skills and did some painting.
  13. Tell people when I'm upset about stuff instead of making snide remarks - 8/10 - I have been better at this. I think...
  14. Share the housework chores more evenly - 6/10 - Hiring cleaners made a *huge* difference in my attitude about this.
  15. Reserve the co-op car more often and go for daytrips out of the city - 6/10 - We pretty much never did this but Mum gave me her old crappy car last summer and we did use it to cruise around more. Helping my sanity significantly.
  16. Finish unpacking as many boxes as possible before spring - 8/10 - There are very few unpacked boxes stuffed in closets. I'm certainly not saying there are *no* unpacked boxes. Just not that many.
  17. Get rid of, or get a storage locker for, excess boxes of stuff that currently fill our closets - 7/10 - I comprimized and built some more efficient shelving to store all our crap.
  18. Clean the cats' teeth - 5/10 - Morgan got a cleaning, Sephie had to wait until 2003
  19. Get new glasses - 10/10 - They rock. I love them.
  20. Get a new tattoo - 0/10 - Still no new ink.
  21. Get an extended medical plan - 0/10 - Decided it might be cheaper to just pay the bills as they come along until an employer wants to kick in for the extended.
  22. Shiny clothes, baby - 8/10 - I definitely own more shiny clothes but I haven't been prostletizing quite as much.
