Evaluating my list...

We are at the end of February and I think I'm doing a darn good job on my "Things to do for 2009" list.  {pat myself on the back} You can follow along with me if you are familiar with this post from New Year's Eve.

Garage Sales: A

I have hit some garage sales so far, probably about 4 out 6 that they had in my little old town so far this year...rain, sleet, snow or shine, I was there! Still sleeping, but there!

Sunday Grilling: F

We haven't grilled a thing yet this year. I'm still working on that because I think it will require a trip to Lowe's for a new grill!

No grudges-No negative thoughts: A

Really! And don't make me think of any!!!

List Items in MY ETSY STORE: A

And I just did that tonight for the first time and I had one sale already!!!! And 5 people already {heart} me! :)

Keep in touch with high school friends: B

Not doing too bad but could do better.

Exercise: F

Does thinking about it count for extra credit??? maybe? NOT!

Take a Photography Class: I

I'll put myself an "I" for incomplete at this time. Might catch the next semester! {I am thinking positive...}

To Cook More instead of  eating out: C 

hmm. I'll be honest and put a "C" because...I didn't actually say that I would cook more this year. Thad has been doing such a darn good job almost every night so I won't take all of the credit.

To do things because I want to, not because I have to: A+

And I feel good! do-do-do-da-do...oh yeah!

Play Bingo at least twice a month (& win): A+

Yep, I brought home the $$$ already baby!

Blog often: A+

January and February are almost my two highest posting months! Whatcha think matters, Quality or Quantity???

Be More Thankful: A+

Haven't I told you I really appreciate you coming to see me??? :)

Go to the Movies at least once every two months: I

Another Incomplete. I plead my case because there is still 2 days left in February and you never know if I'll be eating some popcorn or not! {There's that positive thinking again!}

Send birthday cards: W

I put myself a "W" because I withdrew that from my list. Just now. It was affecting my GPA...

Listen to my iPod more:  D      C

Does listening to my iTunes on my computer count for extra points? Okay, then I'll just change that to a "C"...{teacher's pet}

Learn to Sew: D

Does buying scrap material every time I go to Wal-Mart count? Fine then, the "D" stays and I'll try harder I promise.

****************************************************

My GPA for the first 2 months of 2009:   2.010 = C-

So with all of this in black and white, do ya know what this means?

I certainly have room for improvement!

How are you doing on your 2009 list??? Please share...maybe we can cheat off of each other learn from each other before re-evaluation time rolls around again!!!!! :)

Someone stole all of my pictures this morning. I mean the dog ate my pictures. I mean they flew out the window of the bus. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Too funny! This was just the smile I needed to start my morning off right:) Gosh I hope the dog survives eating the pictures, or that there weren't any accidents when the pictures flew out the bus window, or...heehee-you get the picture:)

Well we are only 1/6 into this year. Spring hasn't even started yet. You have plenty of time to achieve your goals. Jody, you will!!!!!!!!!! The etsy thing---I think this is great-----I have not sold a thing. LOL.....I am just happy I have tried it and I plan on still trying. You can't win it unless you are in it........wait you know that...b-i-n-g-o-!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2009 is going to be great for you!

Seems to me you are doing pretty darn good. As for quality vs. quantity I think you are providing plenty of both. Cooking at home counts whether you or hubs or kids cook, as long as you aren't out buying food in a restaurant or from a drive through. I have to visit your etsy shop, I didn't know you had stocked it! Go girl. Joe and I both opened our own etsy shops this week but they are empty as of now, I think Sadie will be opening one as well. Just a family of Etsyers...not a real word. My mom and grandma used to play bingo every week. I just noticed a church down the road from us in Indiana has bingo and I was thinking my mom would like that. Maybe I'll join you and your luck will rub off. Hugs, Pam
