SO, how are those Resolutions and Such going, you ask???

Well... I'd say about 50/50!! Which isn't too bad if you consider that, at the beginning of this I said if I completed half the things on my list, that 2012 would be epic!! It is only Jan 18th, and I did spend the first 7-8 days of the month deciding to set myself up to fail set some goals for the year and get organized.  It seems like we've been really busy at the same time we haven't done much {how does that work anyway??} We had a couple of really nice days, I did spend an entire day helping Maddy move to her new apt. So I guess I've done something this month. 
BUT what have I done to work on those Resolutions/Goals/Wishes&Dreams/One Little Word???
Well the first BIG  HUGE bit of news is that after looking for a camera club and NOT finding one, I decided to start one on Facebook, yeah, CRAZY, I know.  This could end VERY VERY badly, but for now I am excited to have 20 members to take pics with and talk photography with!!! I'm gonna work hard and hope for the best!!!  We had our first meeting and while there were only 3 of us there, it went well.  And after I went on a photo trek with my friend Sheri {hey Sheri!} it was cold but fun!!!! So I'm gonna do my best NOT to freak out about this Club, and go forward, believing it can be something great!!  So CHECK THAT OFF MY LIST
I spent 2 different days outside with the Boys, watching them ride dirt bikes and taking pics of them. I have also spent an afternoon at the barn with Maddy taking pics of her with the horses, went on a trek into the woods with my dog, then went on another trek into the woods with friend for Camera Club Challenge, and I took a bunch of other random pics.  SO, that falls under "Goal of taking better pictures and learning how to use my camera" this will obviously be an ongoing goal but I STARTED, so that's something!!!
I've NOT been to the gym as much as I should be, but I've gotten outside and gotten some exercise, so again, that something!!
I tackled ONE project, on my Project List- I sewed/repaired my purse.  Now this may not seem like a big project for most, but my sewing skills suck!!{Maddy wishes I'd throw said purse away, but I just can't!! I LOVE that purse, and I've tried using other purses and I'm just NEVER happy with them!!} So yet again, while I haven't completed this list, but that's something!!
I bought 10 Rubbermaid buckets, can't really tackle the attic until it gets a tad warmer and we get Maddys room back in order, but buying buckets, that's something!!
I started Project Life 2012, and even made a space just for working on that album. So kinda half check that off my list. 
I have signed up for a One Little Word Class on line with Ali Edwards, that kinda covers "art related classes" and "scrapbooking again" as well as "desire to create" and "looking for inspiration in new places"  These will obviously be ongoing things on the list too, but it"s something!!!
I set up an appointment for my new{that will be my 3rd, last one was a very long time ago and this one is LONG overdue!!} tattoo today! That falls under "sense of adventure or fun in my life"
NOW let's be honest...
I've failed miserably with blogging 3-5 weekly!
I've failed miserably at order!
I've failed miserably at time management!
I've failed miserably at controlling my financial situation!!
BUT all things considered I think I'm doing pretty good!!!
Was planning to post some pictures to go along with this blog BUT that was not working out so well so today it's just words...
