Here’s the breakdown:

Order my new glasses. — Did not accomplish.

• As much as I wanted to do this, I didn’t have the funds to make it happen this month.

Donate blood. — Accomplished!

• Yay! I got by with the skin of my teeth with my iron, but I did it. It was also my 50th donation! I started donating blood in 2005 after I turned 17. The minimum age now is 16, with parent permission.

Finally finish the first draft of my 2012 WIP! — Did not accomplish.

• I didn’t touch it at all!

Make journaling a daily habit / practice. — Accomplished!

• I don’t have a photo on hand, but I bought a super pretty journal at Target and worked hard to write in it every day. I’ve already noticed a huge difference in my anxiety levels!

Create my own media kit. — Did not accomplish.

• I didn’t make time for this at all.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Al. — Accomplished!

• Since Valentine’s Day fell on a Thursday this year, we kept it simple. I ordered steaks and all the fixings from Texas Roadhouse online, and I picked it up on the way home. We enjoyed it immensely.

Take unused / unwanted clothes to Clothes Mentor. — Did not accomplish.

• My goal is to do this in March. My pile is overflowing!

Write more Commentary posts. — Semi-Achieved.

• I wrote one: Commentary #83

Celebrate Drew’s 30th birthday! — Accomplished!

• We drove up to Richmond on Saturday, February 16th, to celebrate at Carini’s Italian restaurant. More than 20 people were there! Most importantly, Drew had a wonderful time, and made a heartfelt speech to everyone. We enjoyed the pizza, cake, and catching up with everyone. It felt like a mini-college reunion!

Take unwanted / duplicate American Girl items to Once Upon A Child. — Did not accomplish.

• I want to divide my stash between my local Once Upon A Child and Girl AGain in White Plains, New York.

Final Thoughts

• I was able to put Accomplished next to four out of 10 goals!
• The one goal that was Semi-Achieved: I was a busy blogger this month! Just not with that type of post, haha.
• The five goals I did not accomplish: Most of this was related to time, and partially money.
