2012 Goal: Quarterly Update #2

It's August so it's time for a dreaded check on my 2012 Goals.


#1. Wear each pair of shoes I have (at least once)... Well, I've been wearing shoes.  I, however, have either forgotten to document it or my iPhone has refused to take photos (never enough storage space) when I do remember.  I'm at 39 of 52 on my shoes and 6 of 23 on my flip flops.  


I've acquired more shoes than I probably should have and I'm sure my count is off one way or another.  I did get rid of 5 pairs of shoes without thinking about it so I feel good on that front.  I just need to recommit myself to the task of wearing new shoes & actually documenting them.  


Standing: Ok.  Maybe.  I'm good on the shoe part still but bad on the flip flop part so that totally equals out to an ok.  Right?!




#2. Get rid of things... Yeah, the only things I've gotten rid of are the things Remington has eaten and those things (iPod/iPhone charger cord, iTravel(s), alarm clock cord(s), lamp/Scentsy base cord) aren't things that needed to be gotten rid of. 


Standing: Bad




#3. Go on a date... I can safely say I have kicked this goals ass!  Not only did I try online dating for a month, and had 2 separate dates from the experience (even if the whole thing wasn't successful), BUT I went out and got myself a man to date in real life.  It's been a little over a month and it is going EXTREMELY well.  


Standing: Excellent.  Goal is complete.




#4. Sew a 50's style dress...  Yeah, not much has changed since my last report, except we fixed the (new) sash on the dress we did do.  We then promptly decided the dress still sucked.  We have ideas on how to fix what went wrong with the making of this dress.  Eventually, when we have the time & inclination we will try it again.


Standing: Good (still). 




#5. Finally making myself my no sew fleece blanket...  *Nothing but cricket sounds here...*
Really, you try making a fleece blanket in the Summer.  In Arizona.  Where it's 105-115 degrees during the day and if we're lucky in the mid 80's a night.  I'm okay with this goal staying at bad for this quarter.


Standing.  Bad.




#6. Get new glasses...  I could give the excuse that I've used some of the money I had in mind for glasses towards getting the A/C fixed in my car (or at least trying to) but really that would be a waste of a good excuse.


Standing: Bad.




#7. Visit Bearizona...  I've discussed it and thought about it but that's about it.  


Standing. Bad.




If I hadn't completed one of the goals I'd say that this report is a pretty dismal one.  But I DID complete a goal so I think it's not as bad as it looks.  Of course, it may just be all the endorphins running wild due to the fact that I am dating an incredibly cute & sexy Irish man who is adorable & fun and who kisses me senseless every time I see him.
