checking in.

as i was making my bed this morning, i was thinking how awesome i have been doing on my new years resolution to make my bed more often. i bet there have been maybe 10 days that it has gone unmade this whole year. that's pretty good, no? {for someone who used to leave her bed unmade 80% of the time.}

then i got to thinking...

i wonder how i've been doing on my other resolutions?

i couldn't even remember what they were, which is a bad sign. so i'm checking in. here is the list i made in january:

sew something. {yeah. still haven't broken out the sewing machine. i am going to plan a sewing date with my mom TODAY.}

read the entire book of mormon at least once {including 2 nephi}. {working on it. hoping to finish before our november stake conference, like the stake presidency has asked!}

read all {or most} of the ensign each month. {eeeh. i do skim through it every month, but i'd have to do some serious back tracking to get this done. and that's kind of missing the whole point.}

cut back on tv. {eeeh.}

take a road trip. {sean is planning this one. hopefully happening over labor day weekend!}

attempt to be more frugle. {well. i have attempted.}

finish reading daniel deronda. {seriously, i will do this one day. maybe i'll bring it with me on my trip to d.c. in a few weeks.}

make my bed more often. {wahoo! i can whole-heartedly say that i've done this!}

get an external hard drive to back up all of my photos. {we all know how i learned this lesson the hard way. i can put a great big check next to that one.}

read to serena more often. {definitely have been doing this. mostly because she actually enjoys it now!}

see some fireworks {my july 4th was incomplete in 2009!}. {check!}

drink more water. {i haven't been so good at this one.}

go to bear lake. {still planning on it.}

be less quick to judge. {i sure hope so. i'll keep working.}

be more kind. {ditto.}

sincerely express love and appreciation more often. {ditto.}

how about you? how have you been doing?
