As it nears the end of June, I figured I'd plug in an update on my progress towards these goals.
1. Ballroom Dancing: No big whoopdedoo progress here, except I did locate a ballroom dancing place...Academy Ballroom Cumberland, that currently charges $45 for a private lesson and 2 introductory ballroom classes for a couple.
2. Facial: No thoughts here.
3. Professional Massage: See above.
4. Reading List: I should probably start looking at bookcases, but in the meantime, I am reading several books and have picked out my next literary adventure: the Fablehaven series. Followed by, perhaps, the Percy and the Olympians series. Yes. I like children's fantasy books.
5. Debt Reduction: Well, I am still paying the bills. This should happen right on schedule.
6. Push-ups: As of today, I'm up to 10 without stopping.
7. Fox Theatre: No thoughts here.
8. Wardrobe: I'm hoping to make this easier to achieve by making myself smaller thereby allowing myself to wear what's in my closet already.
9. Income: Yeah, I don't know about this one. Teachers are either going to have to get outrageous raises or we're going to have to pray for a refinancing opportunity that will bring down our monthly payment by about 50%. Of course for that to happen, the house would need to be worth more than what we owe...
10. Voting: Looks like I may have the opportunity to vote out a few of our school board members come July. Oh, and the state governor.
11. Tiny Waist: 4 more inches to go...
12. Spanish: While I'm waiting for the money to roll in so I can get the Rosetta Stone deal, we're watching lots of Dora and Handy Manny.
13. Foreign Travel: No thoughts here.
14. 10 Mile Run: I'm just over halfway done with the 30-day shred. I'm hoping this workout will help get me in shape and prepared for a running workout. I did map out a route through my neighborhood that equals roughly one mile, so I do have somewhere to start.
15. Lessons in sport: No thoughts here.
16. Guitar Lessons: See above. Evidently when I made this list, I forsaw a significant increase in our family income.
17. Grand Canyon Vacation: Yeah. No time soon.
18. Gardening: This will have to wait till next year. This year's efforts resulted in a major fail.
19. Birdhouse: No thoughts here.
20. Early Rising: Already failed this goal for this year. I'll try harder in 2011.
21. Volunteer for Habitat for Humanity: I should probably look into this. But I think the school has some sort of relationship so I may try to work through that.
22. Recipe Book: I've got about 30...so...only 335 to go!
23. Honeymoon: Boy I sure hope that huge raise comes soon!
24. Milk a Cow: Nada.
25. 6-minute mile: Right now, the only way my body is getting from one end of a mile to the other in less than six minutes is if my foot's on the gas pedal.
26. Scarecrow: It's June. To make a scarecrow now would be silly.
27. Will: Oh geez. Haven't put any more thought into this one. I better not die.
28. Staying married: Done!
29. Surfing: This too will likely happen after that crazy raise. I wonder why I didn't include lottery winnings in this list? Sure seems like that should be a part of it...
30. Charity donation: I figure I'll just start setting aside a little out of each paycheck until I reach $1000. So far...I've got $1000 to go. :-P
Well...at least I didn't make my list and forget about it, right?
