Resolutions Revisited

I made some promises to myself this year. I gave myself a list of 10 tasks.

1. loose 5 lbs
2. write a journal
3. read 12 books
4. Save $1200.00
5. 12 months of Robbie
6. finish my scrap books.
7. Book a group holiday OR sell $1000.00 of commission.
8. take a course
9. find happiness
10. get a promotion

Tall order huh..... Well with August being more than halfway I thought we should revisit the tasks and see how were doing.

1. I was 104 when I made the resolution, now I am 97. Yes!

2. I began blogging because I didn't want anyone to find my paper journal and incriminate me. I have done all I can to remain anonymous and as I expected, no one reads this blog anyway. Any watchers here... I think not. So another YES!

3. read 12 books. Well I am really trying. I have found through this promise that I really like to read. It's time I need to do it. But I have read or began to read;
- Push
- Still Alice
- Change of heart
- Always looking up - begun
- The Guernsey and Potato peel pie society - begun
- Eat/Pray/Love - reading
- Sarah's Key - bought to read
- Pirate Latitudes - bought to read

So I have read 3, begun 2, reading 1 and bought 2. For a total of 8 if I can get through them all. No....

4. This is one of the worst. I have a savings bond thing at work that will give me a savings bond for a total of $1200.00 by the end of the year. However I think that's cheating. At this very moment I have saved 130.00 but I fear that will be spent shortly. No...

5. 12 months of Robbie, HA! Not even 1 month of Robbie sadly. I was planning on giving him a simple gift once a month for absolutely no reason. That didn't happen. No!

6. I completed 75% of one book. I have at least 4 including my wedding one to do. No!

7. My commission sales are around 500.00 dollars for this year. So I might make the goal.. but for now, No!

8. Take a course. I have taken MANY. I am so thankful I made this promise to myself. My fitness courses have sent me into a new profession that I thoroughly enjoy. A big YES!

9. finding happiness has sent me on a journey. I can honestly say that I have found happiness. Now I'm looking for Divine happiness. LOL. Another YES!

10. Get a promotion. Well I made Part -Time Coordinator. Do mini promotions count? I'm going to say that they do. Another and final YES!

So it's a 50/50 success split! But I aint done yet!
