I'm Still Going

I just want to let you all know that I am still plugging away at my goals.

• I have started researching how to transfer my Hi8 Italy video to my computer. It looks like it is easiest to find a special Digital 8 camera to do it.
  
• I have done a little bit more on Rosetta Stone but I think I probably should have put this as a long term goal.
  
• I didn't finish the painting in time..... I haven't started working on it again.... I will let you know when I do.
• I haven't started ab rolling... I wanted to start on the 1st of a month but now that just seems silly. Maybe I will start tomorrow.
  
• I got 2 picture rejected from istock..... I need to get organized a try again...
  
• I have watched a few more of my top 100 movie list.
• The biggest thing is keeping my year long photo journal updated. I haven't missed a picture yet although I am still catching up on some posts. I am VERY proud of this.
  

That is basically it. I will try to get things done faster so that I can update this more. Thanks for dropping by!

Thing #5-update

I wish I could say that I had completed this thing.  However, I can  just give you an update on its progress.  I have almost half finished the drawing portion of it....  argh!  This is the worst part!  I am horrible at perspective and proportions. I wish I could say that I was good at but I really have a tough time.  I am not sure how I will finish in time to take it to Michigan with me, seeing as we are leaving this Friday.  Maybe I will finish it while I am there......

New Thing #3

Well, I decided to do a new thing #3.  Not because I don't think it is important, but because I haven't been doing it lately.  Silly excuse right?  Since I can't really say that I completed this one, I want to take it off.  I will continue to train Mosey in my irregular pattern. 

My new thing 3 is:  Use my ab roller everyday for 1 month.  

This will really be hard for me.  I will provide you before and after measurements I plan on rolling until exhaustion everyday as opposed to a set amount of rolls.  Alright, wish me luck!  

I have also added the long term goal of writing my childhood autobiography.  This is a doozy....

Thing #3-Completed!

Ok, so Mosey's teeth have been brushed every night for the last two weeks!  Here they are in all their shining glory....  

Hey, I had to work really hard to even get this shot, so don't judge me....

My new Thing 3 is....... Train Mosey for 15 minutes every night until we leave for my brother and mother's graduation this summer.  That gives me oh.... about 3.5 weeks or so.  Why am I doing this?  Well, because in Mosey's beginner class, he was the star.  In fact, at graduation he was the only dog that did everything on the first try.  Now that he is in intermediate class, his performance has gone downhill.  He is the worst behaved dog in the whole class.  Some of it may be that the competition has been weeded out but also I have been slacking in my discipline.  I just don't feel like training him to heel and get on his bed and all that.  So it is mostly my fault.  So I am going to train him for 15 minutes every night.  Sigh... I am not going to enjoy this very much...

Updates

Sorry there hasn't been much action on the blog lately.  I haven't been totally slacking though!  First, I picked up my first share of organic produce but forgot to take a picture for you before I washed and put it all away.  But here is a picture of what I made with the organic strawberries I got!  Extremely delectable.  

Also, I have been plugging away on my German.  I am about to start lesson 4.  I think I have the photo of Emma picked out.  Oh!  Only one day left of brushing Mosey's teeth and then I can write a new 'thing' up here.  Can't wait!

As far as my long term goals go, I have been very faithfully uploading to my daily photo journal.  That takes a lot of my time right there.  Which reminds me I need to find something to take a picture of.  Hmmmmm.  Also, I have watched 2 more movies on the 100 Best Movies list.  So I am pretty proud.  See you tomorrow!

Things #5 and #1- Update

So I took my first baby step to completing my thing #5.  I bought a canvas.  

Small but steady steps toward my goal right?  Just so you know, I have been doing very well brushing Mosey's teeth.  Mosey is actually liking having his teeth brushed less and less.....  Why oh why......  I have only missed one night because I got home so late that Mosey and Jason were already asleep.  I will just have to add a day on the end.  That is right, no cheating.  

Thing #1-Completed!

Today I joined the Inland Empire's Organic Produce Co-op through meetup.com.  This means that every Saturday morning that I have prepaid, I can go meet the group and take home my share of organic produce.  I have never been into organic produce but I am sure it is a good thing and I really want to eat more fruit and vegetables.  Also, I hate buying them at the grocery stores.  Produce just isn't as good as it used to be.  When I go pick up the produce, I will take a picture for you to see what I got.  This is a picture of a share from a couple weeks ago.  

 For now, I will just add a new Thing 1 to my list....

New Thing 1:  Finish each Rosetta Stone lesson with 100%

For my birthday, some of Jason's family pitched in and bought me the Rosetta Stone language learning software, German level 2.  I have finished the 1st lesson and am half way through number two.  There are a total of about 16 lessons.  I want to do each lesson over and over until I get 100% on each section.  That is hard because it includes things like pronunciation and grammar.  I have an especially hard time with the grammar.  Anyway, I will let you know when I finish it!
