Goals - how'd I do?

April.... oh April. You arrived and then snuck away like a thief in the night. (Do I sound poetic? It's probably the bottle of wine.) This month went by too quickly. I'm actually a little disappointed in my progress for the month, but understand that everything cannot be March. So, I guess I did okay. And, I'm grading myself liberally. Because it's my blog. Bwahahaha.

The Wife's April Goals

Fun

Read 2 books. I read three books - The Kite Runner (if you haven't read this, you must), The American Wife and Olive Kitteridge.

Take a class. I'm sure I meant this as a creative, non-MBA class. But, I finished one MBA class and began another. So, I'm giving myself credit. Are you upset by this? Take it up with the editor. (Hint: the editor is me).

Go to IKEA. Despite the fact that IKEA is an evil temptress for me, I actually visited 2 IKEAs. One in Phoenix and one in Chicago.

Get some Vitamin D in Arizona. Oh yeah, baby. (PSA: Don't say this phrase in an elevator at your corporate job. Doesn't go over well. Hypothetically.)
Practice with camera. Next month?
Take a hike. Love Arizona.

DIYing/Crafting:

Finish granny squares project. What? Let's just pretend this didn't happen.

Sew something new. Nope. But, May is the month of sewing projects.

Make fabric flowers. See above.

Gardening:

Prepare garden. Yeppers.

Add mulch. I'm getting giddy from the wood scent.

Add compost.

Weed.

Restrain from buying annuals. Not a single petunia, folks. Can I get a round of applause? 

Home:

Kitchen organization.

Clean the windows.
Garage purge and clean.

Organize closet. YES! I love a clean closet.
Paint something. Hello, beautiful.

Stain front porch.

Stain deck. 

Cooking:

Make a new recipe. It was unsuccessful, but new.

Wellness:

Weights and cardio 3 days a week. I'm being liberal. It was probably not 3 days, but definitely an improvement. And, close to 3 days.
Jog at least once a week. hehehe... jog?

Strive to eat at least 3 fruit and 4 veggie servings/day. I did strive.

Do not eat in car. I ate in my car exactly 2 times, which is better than the 3 times a week I was averaging.

So I'm calling it success. You cannot go cold turkey, folks.

So, this was a little ugly, huh?
