Goals? Oh Yeah..I Made Those Once, Didn't I?

It's been quite a while since I've updated where I am on the goals I set for my 30th year. I can sum up my progress in one word: nada.

Maybe I've made a few itty bits of progress lately, but nothing like I had planned. Of course, nothing planned ever happens quite the way we plan. So without further ado, here's my updated lack of progress.

Weight Loss: Obviously I'm not losing weight right now, being pregnant. I'll deal with this one in 2011.

Reading: I did make some headway in this department. Then I got pregnant. Then I went to bed. Every night around 8pm. I also lost interest in reading all of the books I had picked out.

Movies: Totally lost interest in watching movies as well. All I want to do is watch the inside of my eyelids.

Series 7: Do you really have to ask? I have no interest in reading, and I never had much interest in reading this one except for the fact that I would make more money if I pass the exam. More money?  Sleep?  Hmmm...I choose sleep for now.

Savings for TTC: All those savings are now savings for Sprout related items. Putting more into savings right now has taken a backseat to "Let's pay off some of this credit card and make it easier for us to afford Sprout and all Sprout needs as well as, you know, eat."

Cleaning out former Mancave: Thanks to my friend "The Other White Kate" (like "Pork. The Other White Meat") We got the soda cans and empty boxes thrown out and most of Bryan's "little people" stuff consolidated. We can now actually enter the room and get to the perimeter to actually clean. Too bad sleeping has taken precedence for me here too. Bryan's classes have taken precedence for him. He has a plan of getting it all done the last week of June. Let's hope!

Sewing: Well, I added a new short project to the list. I need to take in the waistbands of some pants for a friend. Too bad I haven't checked any projects off of the list. I do have all of the fabric I need to complete the front of my friend's quilt. I won't be able to post pictures of the progress on that one for you though, since he reads this blog (Hi, Marc!) and what the quilt actually looks like is a surprise. I promise to post the finished product though.

Letter Writing: I've written two letters in the past two or three months. The first of which was a "guilt letter," meaning my friend wrote to me and started the letter with "Since I haven't heard from you, I figured I'd write." (Smooth one, Dawn) Then she wrote back, then I wrote back, then she wrote back and then I went to sleep. (Notice a pattern, here?)

Basically, I've been sleeping. Some day soon I hope to make more progress on these. I did read 10 books in my 30th year, so that is a definite accomplishment by my standards. I got ambitious and changed the goal to 25 books, but I doubt I'll complete that one. I'm just not in the reading mood right now. Maybe I'll take a nap instead....

Well, personally, as a life long friend of the NAP, I'm all supportive of the snooze. Especially supportive since YOU'RE GROWING A PEOPLE! Dude. Pretty big stuff. Happy napping. :-)
