Resolution Recap time again

Well it's the beginning of April and once again time for the Resolution Recap. Alight so let's see where I'm at with all those crazy New YEars Resolutions/Goals/Wishes&Dream/One Little Word for 2012...

*Reclaim some order~ umm yeah, not too bad.
*Conquer the Project List~ haven't done any projects in a couple of weeks, BUT that is ALL about to change
*Reclaim the messy wasted space that is the attic and library~ Well HERE is the big announcement you've all been waiting for!!! Ryan and I have been talking about how to best handle the mess that has become our entire second floor {not just the attic and library, but also includes BOTH the kid's rooms} and we have decided to DO THIS THING! To SERIOUSLY take this project on. AND we have a crazy, insane, one month dead line!!! Yeah!! 11 years of accumulation to be sorted, trashed, given away, gotten rid of, carpet torn out, floors painted, walls painted, furniture repurposed, and moved around. Books sorted, trashed, taken to a library, THEN move my studio ALL up stairs into one of these freshly painted bedrooms, AND then my current  studio is to become the new MUSIC STUDIO.  That's crazy!! I'm not even sure this is all  humanly possible, within 6  months, let alone 1 month. BUT it must get done.  theBoys are recording a band at our house about a month from now so it's do or die!!! GAME ON!! The good news is, the color swatches have been picked out for months now, so the mentally challenging part is already handled, now it's just the labor intensive part!! And Ryan has decided that the color on my {current} studio will work for him, so we only have to paint 2 bedrooms, and the library area, and actually only the floor in one room, cuz the ugly ass, old carpet will be staying in what will become the quest/weekend kids room cuz some recording will go on in this room, like drums, and apparently carpet will help with echo and such ~So it stays{Blek!!}. Buy a new desk, maybe some bookcases, maybe a bit of new lighting, and guitar hangers for the walls of the Music Room and we are golden. The attic will remain all storage, just get cleaned ourt!!! I'm excited to start, but hope we can handle this project, in such a short time!!
*Reclaiming health and fitness ~well that's going okay. Just finished week 3 of the C25K program, so on track, sure it's a slow moving train, but it's still on track!!
*Looking for inspiration in new places ~eh. not so much, unless we keep counting the time I waste on Pinterest. Seriously, I love that place, it's great!! But I can spend way too much time there.
*Project Life and scrapbooking ~yep way behind on this one.  Still trying to take a picture every day {but that's been a bit hard, with some of the stuff we have had going on around here the past week or so. I'm gonna cut myself a little slack. And maybe some day we can discuss why I've been stressed, and out of it!!}
*Desire to create ~think I'm good here. Just need to act on it now.
*Blog 3-5 times per week ~pretty close...
*Take art  related classes ~ugh, not so good. I haven't really had the time to take any new classes lately, so I think I'll just stick with the ones I've already got going on for now. I need to make time to practice and work on  completing the classes/projects I have started. One Little Word class is a year long process so I'm still plugging along on that too.  Am a bit behind, but still plugging along.
*Work on taking better pictures ~I am taking most of my pictures in the AV setting currently, and seeing how that goes.  Been pretty successful so far, I mean I still don't take great pics,but I'm starting to understand how the camera works!!
*Camera Club ~going pretty well, Mark is doing great classes, attendance is pretty low but it's fun.
*Sense of adventure ~hmm well I can't really live large all the time, and you do have to be able to afford real adventure. But I consider my little life to be pretty exciting!
*Reclaim control over finances ~HMMM... WAS doing okay here, but a trip to the mall last weekend found me spending more money than I should have been. But it's been a LONG time since I shopped, and again, some stress, so I'm justifying it!!!
*Time management skills ~still going pretty good. trying the best I can, haven't missed an apt yet!!!

And that's the recap!!! Not doing too bad, overall!! Remember these are some pretty loft goals, for one year, for me!!!
