Goals - how'd I do?

Wow.... time to talk about goals for this month already.  Hope you had a successful and productive month.
The Wife's December Goals
Fun:

Plan and enjoy anniversary trip. (More on this soon)

Entertain.  (Christmas and other small get-togethers.)

Read two books.  (The Shack  and The Next Thing on my List )

Learn a new technique with my camera and practice.  (I played around with aperture and Googled ways to take photos of my trees. It's getting better, but I still need more practice.)

DIYing/Crafting:
Sew something new. (My sewing machine got a workout this month - including these reusable snack bags and sandwich wraps.)

Paint something. (I painted some gifts for Christmas, including a raised dog bowl for my mother-in-law.)

Make a Christmas quilt and pillows.  (FAIL! I have the fabric, so maybe next year?)

Make homemade Christmas gifts. (Go me!)

Continue organizing photos. (I've got a long way to go.)

Gardening:

Write an overview of gardening. Make a list of what to plant next year. (FAIL! I gotta do this. I just have so many other things I wanna post.)

Keep houseplants alive.(NOTHING DIED!)

Home:

Curtains in office. (FAIL! I cannot decide what I want to do.)

Complete HolidayPalooza.

Cooking:

Make a new healthy recipe.  (Recipes coming soon.)

Wellness:

Go to yoga each week. (FAIL!)

As an aside: during last month's goals post, I had a few friends who didn't like the word "fail" that I use when I didn't complete a goal for the month. They suggested using another word or ignoring it. The truth is, I purposely make a lot of goals each month. It doesn't bother me if I don't complete something, and saying that I've failed is just a drama-queen way to portray it. I usually leave most months feeling good about my accomplishments. So, I'm going to stick with it for now. I know that goals posts aren't the most popular posts anyhow, so I'm more doing it for me and to give me accountability.

And, here's next month's goals (I'm consolidating to try to keep your boredom to a minimum.)
