2011 Goal Check In, Month 2

Back in December I posted a list of goals for 2011, and said I’d check in once a month. Here’s January’s results. How did I do in February?

Writing: This was a stellar month for writing, as evinced by the tickers on the right. I wrote the other short story I have due this year, as well as finally finally, FINALLY finished the manuscript I’ve been working on for a year. Yay!

Home: My home is currently a bit of a disaster. Eh. You win some, you lose some. (Pantry still looks nice, though. I’m so glad for the reaarange!)

Blog: I only blogged 6 times last month. Oops. Again, I claim writing.

Quality time with SB: We actually had a date night, y’all. It’s the first time that’s happened in five months.

Rio: As I suspected, Rio has had another rough month. It’s been very cold and very icy until recently, when I’ve been working really hard and neglecting my poor girl. But with spring upon us, I’m looking forward to spending a lot of outdoor time with her. She did get more walks this month except for the last week or so.

Garden: Still too cold to plant. But I’ve been making plans.

And, the big list:

  1. Revise/finish my contracted novel.
  2. Write short story #1
  3. Write short story #2
  4. Write short story #3
  5. Write new proposal #1
  6. Write new proposal/book #2
  7. Go to one writing-related conference.
  8. Walk my dog.
  9. Plant a garden.
  10. Make sure I spend quality time with Sailor Boy.
  11. Do at least two home improvement projects.
  12. Cut our budget.

How did you do this month? Any big plans to kick yourself into gear this spring?
