It has been awhile since I mentioned any of my goals for the year. This is mostly because I pretty much threw them out the window around...oh I'd say March...but I figured I should do a quick assessment to see how I am doing anyway.
The List
See 36 movies this year
This is one of the few I never gave up on. Not because it was a goal, but just because I like movies. I did stop tracking my movie going...so Let Me Spoil it For You is not up to date, but let me see if I can do a quick count...17...not as good as I thought...(17/36).
Read 24 books this year
I finished "A Total Waste of Make Up" it was okay not stellar, I read a whole diet book (The Carb Lovers Diet) and I started American Assassin that's for the reading side. On the listening side - I made through the audio drama "The Leviathan Chronicles" which I am counting even though it is not printed book. Since ear buds have been banned at work this one has been harder for me to do...(2/12, 2.5/12)
Create a new blog in a similar vein to The Impossible Cool
This one may actually materialize in more than one avenue. First off, Leaky Light, this is a social photo experiment I am doing with a couple of friends. The first month seems to have worked out alright. We'll just have to see if it sustains. Secondly there is Highly Typographic, I have finished skinning this one, but don't have any posts yet. I wanted all the pieces on this blog to be my work, but I am starting to think it might be best to post "found" typography as well...we'll see.
Create 5 seasons worth the musical playlists from Supernatural
I think I have one episode done :(
Take 36 "post worthy" photos this year
See above for a Leaky Light mention. If you count individual pics I am at 14, if you count posts I am at 4. Either way it is coming along (14/36)
Self publish my Dad's book
Nada
Start a novel
Nope
Complete 3 websites
I don't think the blogs count...maybe they do. If blogs count this is done, I have re-skinned this blog, created Leaky Light and Highly Typographic, and I finished updating www.amberlynmeier.com (4/3). If the blogs don't count I am screwed (1/3)
Complete an updated printable or hard copy portfolio
Yes! This is done! I actually completed one! It isn't a fancy magazine style like I was hoping. It is just my folio book, but at least it is done and presentable.
Complete 6 freelance jobs or make $500 (which ever comes first)
Nope
Take at least one college course
I am starting to think this one isn't going to happen
Write more letters/emails
Ah..I have been FB chatting with Carla a lot, and I have been emailing James. I call it progress but not great progress.
Be more girly
I love makeup!!! I have found another thing to collect :)
THE BIG ONE: Drop 6 sizes
Lets not talk about this one yet
So this has turned out better than I thought, but not as good as it should be...story of my life...
