On January 1, I made this post about my goals for the new year. The first of each month I'll be checking in to see how I'm doing on acheiving these goals.
Try one new recipe a month. - Happy to say I did this with much success. Remember this soup?! I made it twice in January. Everyone loves it, except SWS but he doesn't like any food if it's not chicken nugget-y.
Use my camera everyday.
I did not do this, but I did take 127 pictures in January. If this was the old days that equals over 5 rolls of film! I'm happy with that. Days did go by without me picking up the camera, but I also had a cold for the first time in a couple years. I did experiment with settings and I used the zoom lens a couple times. I did not get the black blob fixed, but I learned how to get rid of it in iphoto.
I adjusted the white balance between these 2 shots:
Here is a zoom lens shot:
Have a weekly date night/day with Handy Man. - We ended up doing two things without the kids, but I wouldn't consider them date-ish. First we shopped for chairs and looked at an appliance store one afternoon. Fun but meh on the date factor. Same with the trip we made to Earthwise looking for a cupboard for the laundry room. I really need to work on this goal.
Take time for my kids. - I have a feeling that no matter what or how much I do for my kids, I will feel it's not enough. I did play DS with DD and we also watched a couple chick flicks together.
Make a blog post everyday. - I so did this!!!! Let me tell you it was hard. The main reason I made a daily post was because I committed to NaBloPoMo. I'm not committing this month. A couple of days I really had nothing mostly because I didn't feel well. I'm proud of myself for sticking to the commitment and posting, but I'm taking February off. If I happen to post everyday great, I'm not going to stress out about it if I don't.
I still like to post most every day! It's like checking in with myself! That soup still looks good!

Glad you love the soup. My son won't eat anything chick nugs too. It sucks doesn't it?
