So, for those of you who have been following my antics throughout this blog, it is now the half-way point through the year. Can you believe it, already?! I can't.
Anyway, if you have been following along, you will remember that I posted a list of 25 (and a couple more) goals that I wanted to accomplish this year. Today I decided it was time to revisit that list, and take note of what I've gotten through, and what still needs to be done.
To my surprise, I have a few accomplished items on there! From my previous list:

To my surprise, I have a few accomplished items on there! From my previous list:
1. Write more- I've been doing that. Not as much (or what) I had intended, but still- more is better than none.
2. Read more- yep, got that one down.
4. Expand my vocabulary- kinda mostly. Utilizing my two "word-a-day" definitions into weekly writings is helping. I think I may even expand that more.
6. Spend more time outdoors. This one is definitely in the bag. BBQs, gardening, mowing this lawn- it's got me outside much more than before!
8. The crafts- I've actually done a couple. Again, not as much as I'd have hoped, but it's getting there. I even wore a pair of earrings I made myself today!
9. Cook in more- that's been going okay(ish). Having the cookbooks, and the BBQ, helps- albeit it's not always me doing the cooking.
10. Eat healthier- this one I've been doing. I'm incorporating more veggies into my dinners, and using whole wheat flour / breads / pastas when I can.
12. Plant my garden- done!
14. More family activities- drive in movies, movies, Crypticon, zoos, aquariums, Science Center, parks- yeah this one is getting done, especially now that the schools are out!
15. Son enrolled in karate- he's trying out for his orange belt next Friday!
16. Daughter in extra-curricular activities- during school she was in choir, and volunteered at the library. This summer break, she wants to focus on writing.
20. Orthodontic work is in the works!
25. Memberships- got one to the zoo, and one to the Pacific Science Center.
And I've stopped biting my nails, and had the kids signed up as volunteers at the library.
Soooo... I figure that's not bad for six months in. Some of them I know won't happen, and that's okay. Priorities and desires change with time. I'm accepting of this, and won't be devastated if I do not make it through my entire list.

That's pretty impressive- I haven't even accomplished #1 on mine yet, which was-
1) Make a list.
I think you motivated me, though, so thanks!
Congratulations! That's an impressive amount of things to check off your list. I missed your earrings! Let me know when you wear them again - I want to be sure to see them.
