tyb30 - september update
i wasn't going to do percentages ... but i just love math too much. besides, i've only got 4 months left 'til my birthday - i should be at 66%!
1: take 2900 photos. done, thanks to a couple of fabulous vacations. 2957 taken so far. 100%
2: visit two places i've never been before. i'm officially an overachiever on this one. :) pittsburgh, michigan, south dakota, wyoming, new mexico, oklahoma, arkansas, cincinnati. 100%
3: finish two quilts. alicia's is done. i have some progress made on the second one. 50%
4: make/recycle/customize a table for the living room. i should have been way more diligent about going to garage sales this summer. 0%
5: avoid deep-fried vegetables. the french fry embargo officially started may 1. i've had potato chips a couple of times, but so far not too shabby. 95% (that's a solid A, but not quite perfect.)
6: watch the entire 'friends' series. on ten, disc three. what should i watch next? 95%
7: send out Christmas cards. done! hey - i never said i was going to send them out at Christmas-time. i even got an easter card sent to me in response. :) 100%
8: tackle another month of 1000 photographs. accomplished in july - 1,029 photos. you can see them all here on my flickr account. 100%
9: put together the fortune journal. i haven't done anything past the mediocre attempt a couple of months ago. 50%
10: surprise! done & i love it! i turned one of my living room walls into a huge piece of black/white photographic artwork. 166 of my photos, floor to ceiling, corner to corner. they start small on the left side of the wall (4.5" x 3") and get bigger with each column of photos (ending at 24" x 16"). i have had some issues with humidity, but nothing catastrophic, yet. 100%
11: send a piece of real mail each month. june - sent & received! july - sent & received! august - sent & received! september - sent & received! 100%
12: watch all of Alan Alda's movies available from netflix. this one won't happen. i put my netflix account on hold again this past week. i don't watch the movies enough to make it worth the money every month. so i'm officially conceding failure on this one. 19%
13: try a muffuletta from at least two restaurants other than three floyd's. 0%
14: host a ladies' night at the new house. technically, i hosted a ladies' night in july since we didn't play bunco. it wasn't what i originally had in mind, but it does fulfill the goal. :) 100%
15: get my own place. done! haven't you invited yourself over yet? 100%
16: plantumentary. officially started june 21, but it's in need of either an overhaul or some serious re-dedication. 50%
17: get my blog archives under control with yearly headers. workin' on it. 25%
18: don't plug in my tv until goal #3 is accomplished. so far so good. 100%
19: try to grow some vegetables. i have three healthy veggie plants - and tiny tomatoes! now they just need to ripen before it frosts. :) 100%
20: read a book. i've finished'persepolis' and started catch 22, again. 100%
21: put up a Christmas tree. i have some plans for this Christmas tree. i want it to match my living room, as that is where i'll set it up. i need to do some digging for the perfect tree ... or make my own. 0%
22: get my nose pierced. done on the fifth of july! and by a very nice looking man, if i do say so myself. 100%
23: update my portfolio. it's actually sad that i haven't worked on this during the past month. must. stop. dwelling. 75%
24: screen print a t-shirt. i have a plan ... :) 0%
25: bike ten miles. i haven't had my bike out of the garage all summer. 0%
26: create artwork for the office. why am i not more motivated to be productive when i get home from work? 0%
27: go two weeks without obvious processed sugars. 0%
28: Christmas surprise. 0%
29: have breakfast at lynn's paradise cafe. 0%
averaging the percentages puts me at 57%. i'm slacking ... but a couple of them ARE Christmas related, so i've got time on those. goals i plan to attack this month: 6, 9, 23 and 27. goals i plan to make some progress on this month: 3, 16 and 28.

I wish both my daughters loved math as much as you! They both do very well, but say they "hate" it. So sad to hate anything, especially knowledge. You don't want to count number 2 as 400%?
