My 1/4 year check up

Every year I make a resolution list. I know several choose one resolution to try to stick to and inevitably fail- I make a list where the number of items correlates to the year. Given that it's 2012, I have 12 items. Like last year I let my roommate make the last selection, last year's was more cowbell, that didn't happen.

2012

1. Lose weight- yes like everyone else in the world, this year I've actually stuck to it. I've lost 17 lbs thus far and about halfway to my goal

2. Save money- ha, fat chance

3. Stop eating out alone- not to make myself stop looking like a sad loner, this relates to the next couple of entries so that I may save money that I spend on food prepared on me plus tip

4. Shop cheaper/smarter- I've entered the dreaded coupon user "club" although I can't bring myself to Groupon.....yet....

5. Cook more meals in advance- that would work if my roommate and I weren't fatties

6. Fix car- I got the oil changed at least

7. Work on loans- go ahead and take more money from me

8. Clean out wardrobe- aka throw away or repair clothing with holes and are too big.

9. ____- this has been removed

10. Be less messy- Oh, I wrote that down?

11. Finish projects that I start- One of my biggest flaws. I have two watches in my purse that I have been carrying around for a year with hopes to change the batteries. I also need to find a dumping ground for all of the recycling I've collected. One day, I will get it done.

12. *Roommate Choice* Learn Greensleeves on the Lute. He wants me to great him at the door with a serenade. Highly unlikely.
