Personal Goals:
- Start working out again regularly and lose weight (Start weight: 158)
Accomplished: No
I am at 154 right now, but I haven't been working out and I certainly didn't lose the 30-35 I want to lose. - Grow hair out for Locks of Love
Accomplished: In progress
I nearly have 10 inches. I hope to chop it off in the next month or two - Safety permitting, park at the end of the parking lot each time I go anywhere to walk further
Accomplished: Yes
I would say about 75% of the time I parked far away from the store/building. Sometimes it was dark and not safe to park far away. Sometimes there weren't any other spots available and I didn't have a choice about where to park. But for the most part, I kept this up all year. - Start a YouTube channel and upload some videos
Accomplished: Yes
I created a channel and uploaded some videos. Nothing special (certainly not a vlog) but it's there. - Buy a new car
Accomplished: Yes
I bought Love, my Honda Element. I regret not spending more time on this, but Love is serving me well and I hope to have her for a long time. - Start working on a quilt consisting of shirts & cloth from my childhood
Accomplished: No
I didn't even touch this this year
Writing Goals:
- Finish all fic requests from 2007 & 2008
Accomplished: No
I did finish a few, and I made good progress on a few others. But there are still stories outstanding - Bring the archive up to date
Accomplished: Yes
I worked throughout the year and, in December, I caught up. Everything is archived and up to date! - Finish a first draft of a novel
Accomplished: Came close, but not cigar
I tried really hard during November to finish my NaNoWriMo novel but came up short once again. I'm only a few chapters away from finishing, so I feel good about that but sad I couldn't finish. - Update the WR website
Accomplished: Yes
I updated the site last winter.
Book/BookCrossing Goals:
- Keep track of pages read this year. Goal: 15000 pages
Accomplished: No
I came up short on my goal by a lot. I only read 7,439 pages (and earread 13,398 pages on audio) - Do not click on/read any "worst books read" threads on the BC forums
Accomplished: Yes
Actually, I managed to go the whole year without reading any of these and getting frustrated. - Finish the Art in the Pages release project to your satisfaction
Accomplished: In Progress
I am very close with this one. I only have a few more to go! - Read all manga & graphic novels in my possession (Start number: 39/143)
Accomplished: No
The number read is now 49/152. So I read 10 off my list... but added 9 new ones. LOL And I'm kind of cheating because there are another 10-15 I haven't unpacked yet from the last book sale that aren't on the list (nor are the BookCrossing ones included on this count. So... I'm drowning.) - Read what you want and don't waste time on ones you don't- be honest with yourself and get Mt. TBR down!
Accomplished: Yes
I did an excellent job of reading books I've been wanting to read for a while. There were a few books I read for a book club, but generally I am very happy with my reads this year
Fannish Goals:
- Memorize all the Doctor Whos in order
Accomplished: No
Honestly, I didn't even try. But I'm putting this on next year's list. - Build planned LEGO creations & show them at Brick Fair
Accomplished: Yes
I had a wonderful time there, and ended up creating 4 things! - Finish knitting scarf for Remus
Accomplished: No
I didn't even open the box. Eeep! Sorry, Remus!
So... I actually thought I did badly this year, but I think my count of the above is 8 Yes, 8 No, and 2 still in progress. That's really not bad at all!
