With the year being more than half over (it's scary when I put it like that isn't it?) I though it was time for a check-up on the my list of to-dos that I posted back at the start of 2012.
Stuff to finish
- Repair (or have repaired) the ceiling in the dining room. (I got a quote on this - it was $1000 - ouch)
- Paint the walls in the dining room (this will happen after I get the walls repaired - see #1)
- Spruce up the kitchen (so far I've only replaced my door handles)
- Get some additional storage for the dining room
- Come up with a better furniture layout for the living room (yup, this was done, although I still have to choose between the six)
- Finish my dresser project (This is complete, with wonderful (in my opinion) results)
- Paint the living room a colour other than white.
- Get actual window coverings for the bedroom, living room and dining room
- Get or make some art for the walls (My collection is growing)
- Actually hang the art on the walls!
- Get a rug for the foyer that can fit under the door when it opens.
- Get bedside tables that are not two different sizes.
- Get a prettier TV console (it's purchased, and being worked on)
- Add some more storage to living room
- Purge my bookcase
- Paint my bedroom
- Get a rug for my bedroom.
- Refinish those chairs I bought last spring . . . (yeah, no. Sigh)
- Install my dining room light
- Remove doors into dining room and living room.
- Get more lighting for the living room
- Consider a move from wordpress.com to wordpress.org (Done)
- Learn to take better photographs (I bought a better camera - does that count?)
- Increase average posts a week from 1 to 2.
- Reach 100,000 views (On January 2nd I had 22,000. It's just over 50,000 now)
- Start taking my lunch to work EVERY DAY (okay, 4 out of 5 days)
- Get back into running, and do at least one 10K race in 2012
- Buy myself flowers every so often 'just-because' (I switched this to buying myself monthly flowers - I've actually done this every month, although admittedly most months the flowers are purchased on the last day - you can see them here: February, March, April, May, June)
What about you? Did you make a resolution/to-do list for 2012? How are you making out?

I actually think you got quite a lot done. Your to-do list is very long, so I wouldn't feel bad about the percent of things you got done :)
ReplyDeleteLove your new kitchen cabinet handles. Also, I agree that just getting a better camera means you're going to take better pics ;)

I love that you are making a point of buying yourself flowers just to buy yourself flowers. It's my favourite of all your goals. :)
ReplyDeletemmm- lavender fields & cherry picking? sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteheck, i'd even take the donuts-on-wheels. :)
