Actually I did slightly better than I thought considering this year did not turn out the way I had thought it would. Meaning: I had no idea we would be moving, let alone moving twice! Yikes! So, I feel like I can't be too hard on myself. Then again, is that just me making excuses for myself? You be the judge.

1. To print, label, and organize all the photos that are on my laptop and place them in photo albums.
*SIGH* I'm so disappointed in myself, so lets just not even talk about this, OK?
2. To learn and use baby sign language with Parker
I actually did this! Parker can sign the words: milk, more, again, please, love, and all done. Now that he is starting to talk more I don't really push the sign language. Really there is one other sign that I would like to begin using and that is the word, "help". I think that one would come in handy!
3. To use coupons
I do occasionally use coupons. In fact, I've even began shopping at my local Homeland because they double coupons daily! However, I haven't been printing coupons from the Internet or actually buying the Sunday paper to get coupons. My mom has actually been helping me with this goal! If she gets the Sunday paper, she saves the coupon section for me and gives them to me whenever she sees me. Since I don't see her on a regular basis, I don't get coupons all the time.
4. To paint all the closet and bedroom doors in our house
I did this! And just in time for us to sell our house! ;) Take a peek for yourself: Don't the doors look better white?

5. To bake a pie.
Sadly, I didn't do this. But, now that we've moved back to Oklahoma I have visions of both my mom and my grandmother actually helping me bake a pie. Doesn't that sound like a lot more fun?
6. To contribute more to my family financially
This is a tough question to answer. If I want to get technical, I've actually cost our family more money than I have made us. How is that? Well, I started selling real estate again. Which means I had to catch up with my continuing education ($100), then I had to sign up for the MLS and the Board of Realtors ($765), order business cards and car magnets ($135), purchase name riders for my For Sale signs ($85), and then I just had to pay my dues for membership for 2012 ($749). So far I have had one sale and my commission check was $645. You do the math.
7. To learn how to make spoon and fork jewelry
I didn't do this.
8. To begin working on my book again
I didn't do this either. But, I did read the few pages that I had written...does that count?
9. To host a few more Bling On A String trunk shows
Nope.
10. To finish The Harry Potter series
Finally! Right when I was beginning to mentally beat myself up, the last thing is something I did! Does it really count though when I was in the middle of reading the last book when I added it to my goal list? At this point, I'm going to say YES!
