I did pretty well getting through what I wanted to do this month. I haven't finished another goal completely yet, but I have good progress for some.
10. I've sorted through my pictures from England. I have about 200 I want to print, and it will probably cost at least $50.00 to do that, so I'm going to work on saving money.
16. I actually journaled five times this month! It didn't even seem that hard, so go me!
20. I finished another adult book: The Paradise Snare by A. C. Crispin. I'll write an entry about it soon.
22. I read another YA book which I'm counting as my "G" book: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith. Again, I'll create a book entry soon.
24. I kept up with my job searching. I even went to a job fair for educators. This past Monday I had a job interview, and I have another scheduled for mid-April
26. I organized my professional development papers from grad school in a nice binder, separated by type of information.
35. I ranked my tv shows by how much I like them so that when I start cutting them out it's easier
40. I had a tv free night every week, which I always enjoy.
42. I am going to cook a new recipe today, so I will probably post pictures later. I am making meat pies, which are kind of like English pasties.
43. I bought binder sleeves for my recipes and organized my printed recipes in my binder
44. Cook at home once a week. I usually cook on Wednesdays, of which there were five in March. I cooked on 4/5 of these weeks, which is still pretty good.
45. Another restaurant that was new to me: Carrabas Italian Grill. I really enjoyed it. We had Sangria to drink, which was yummy. It was Friday in lent so I had spicy fish chowder and then manicotti. Toped it all off with delicious tira mi su, a pick me up indeed!
46. Justin and I also tried another beer. We bought a six-pack of Saratoga Lager, which I thought was pretty good
49. Justin and I had our date night to celebrate his 25th birthday. We went out to TGI Friday's for dinner and drank girly drinks. We then went to Barnes and Noble and wandered around a bit.
67. I am not going to do my Wii fit or yoga goal yet, instead I've started to tackle some of the new goals I added on.
94. I have started my new walking goal by completing week 1 of the 12-week program. I am now in the middle of week 2. For the most part I am walking 15 to 20 minutes a day.

Day 48 Update
Almost to the benchmark of 50 days, and I'm still working on my list a little bit each day!
Here is where I am on my progress in February:
8. Go Ice Skating: Complete! I think this is the first goal that I have finished completely. Justin and I went skating in the Olympic speed skating oval in Lake Placid, NY. The oval is outdoors, which was really cool. I will post pictures later.
16. Journal 5 times a month. So far I am behind again. I've journalled twice so far, but I'll make it up before the month is out.
20. I have finished another adult novel: The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I'll post about it later
21. I've finished the first children's book for this goal by reading Over Sea and Under Stone, the first in The Dark is Rising Sequence by Susan Cooper. I've also just finished the second book, although that won't go on my list. I'll be writing a post about this one as well.
24. Get a job. No luck, but I've been continuing my search every day.
37. I have my "W" movie for the list: Whip It, I'll post about it later
40. So far I have had one night a week in which I am tv-free after 7 pm
42. Make 20 New Recipes: I haven't tried a new one recently, but I went through all of my cookbooks and put post-its on recipes I want to try.
43. Keep Recipes I like in one binder. I made good progress on this one so far. I typed all of the loose and hand-written recipes I had in my binder onto actual binder pages. Next I need to make a system for keeping track of the rest of my recipes.
44. Cook at home once a week. I have been keeping up with this. So far this month I have made Shepherd's Pie, chicken pot pie, and potato leek soup.
49. Justin and I had a date night on Valentine's day. We got dressed up and went out to eat at a really nice restaurant.
67. Wii fit or yoga 3 times a week. This did not work out this month and I'm going to try again next month
68. Emergency car kit: I have created a list of what I want, but have not bought it yet
72. I took three good videos on my flip last weekend at the Empire State Games. I'm not sure if I want to post any here yet.
83. This is my two-week review although it is a little late, and i'll do another before the month is over.
85. I cashed in my first jar of change today. It was mostly pennies so I just got $16.00, but at least it's something.

43. Keep recipes I like in one binder
I consider this goal complete if/when: I have created a binder with recipes in it, as well as page numbers of recipes I like in my other cook books
Why this is on my list: I would like to be able to find all of my favorite recipes in one convenient place so I can easily plan meals.
I will update the progress of this goal through blog updates here
Goal status: in progress
