So far, 2018 is turning out to be very busy. Most of our weekends have been chock-full, although we have had a blessed few where absolutely nothing was on the calendar. March seemed to drag on a little bit, probably because of the crazy weather! At least now it’s a bit more spring-like. Temperatures in the 60s and 70s – I’ll take it!

Here’s the link to my March Goals post:

Here’s the breakdown:

Work at least one hour on my Lady Lounge every weekend. — Semi-Achieved.

• I was able to do this for a few weekends, but not all.
• I spent two solid hours on one Sunday afternoon, and I was immensely proud of myself. I’m slowly carving a path through!

See A Wrinkle In Time. — Did not accomplish.

• This wasn’t a priority for us. Maybe one day soon!

See Ready Player One. — Accomplished!

• We have tickets to see it TODAY! Cannot wait!

Attend a meet-and-greet with Old Dominion Greyhound Adoption. — Accomplished!

• We did this on Saturday, March 10th. We had so much fun!
• You can read more about it in my post from March 12th: Adventure Time: Newport News & Williamsburg Edition (Greyhounds, Colonial Williamsburg, and Romantic Escape Package)
• We have the application in hand, but we’re waiting a little longer to submit it. We need to build the fence!

Update the Household Bills spreadsheet by the end of the month. — Accomplished!

• It feels good!

Prepare for my P.E.O. officer transition. — Accomplished!

• I was officially elected and installed as the chapter’s treasurer!
• Thankfully, almost everything is logged and recorded through Excel. That makes me happy!
• I’m excited for this new role!

Make chocolate mousse for the office. — Accomplished!

• Al helped me make it, and I brought it to the office last week. Out of three I’ve made since Thanksgiving, this one was the best of them all. It was awesome!
• My department director was even able to find the original recipe online, and sent it to everyone.

Make at least one thrift store donation run. — Accomplished!

• We dropped off all the clothing donations, plus the big boxes of books and DVDs.
• Then, after that solid two hours of work in my Lady Lounge, I had quite a bit to donate. We loaded up the car and dropped it off at the CHKD Thrift Store near our house.

Continue to make progress with my 2012 NaNoWriMo endeavor. — Accomplished!

• I signed up for CampNaNoWriMo for the first time, with a singular focus on this endeavor.
• Read more in my March 27th post: Getting Personal #111: Camp NaNoWriMo
• Feeling inspired, I went on an awesome sprint this past week. When Al was in the shower on Thursday morning, I wrote over 1,100 words! Woohoo!
• And then, last night, I wrote another 884 words!
• I’m up to 37 pages now. It’s really starting to come together, and I’m enjoying writing again.
• I wrote approximately 2,025 words!! Happy dance over here!!
• Current word count: 13,241 words.

Final Thoughts:

• I was able to put Accomplished next to seven out of nine goals. More than 75 percent – I call that a win!
• The one goal that was Semi-Achieved: This was mainly due to time constraints. However, I’m happy with the progress I made.
• The one goal that I did not accomplish: I’m not too worried about this one. Movies will always be there to watch.
