resolution check in-feb.

March 1st! it's resolution check-in time.
1. stop over scheduling yourself.
This I am failing miserably on. I did, however, say no to doing this punk-theatre (no, really....) thing which happened last night which would not have been challenging for me. The Beauty and the Beast thing is getting slightly out of hand, but that's because the guy keeps asking for "one more thing". I did stick to my guns and say emphaticaly say i would not, could not paint two full drops.
There's just no way. Incidentally, if you're a scenic artist in the DC area, lemme know. They're still looking for people.

2. see more of your friends. make some new friends. at least try to meet one new person per month.
This- not so good. I did go to Hutto's party. No new people this month. at least not ones that i could see myself hanging out with.

3. be more organized
although not readily evident, i did purge some junk this month. so i'll give myself a 'c'.
4. get a g*d* webpage
damn. forgot. actually, i did a thing on photoshop of what i want it to look like, but it's not very good. i'll give myself a d+
5. maybe less swearing...maybe...
yeah...um....i'm just going to do away with this one.

6. (I'm stealing this from miss colleen)do 2 craft shows this year.
ok, sold 2 robot boxes, put together my fisherprice weaving loom and started weaving a test scarf. also-all day craft fest with miss colleen where i mostly worked on my mini golf thing.
an A!
7. do more stuff like this: http://www.loobylu.com/softies/index.html
yeah, i didn't do this again. i really want to, but proposals for paying works wins out. F
8. feel better, get healthy, yadda yadda yadda.
um. i give myself an f. although i have been eating less meat. which some people view as healthy i guess. but i still like candy. an F!
9. purchase less make up.
i did go to sephora in NYC. i did purchase a lipstick. B-
10. play bass again.
my bass has somehow moved downstairs to the basement without me. i haven't touched it. DOUBLE F

11. save $ for house/new living situation....apres paris. have to check in with that in may....
12. knit an actualy bonda fide garment.
started a burgundy mohair capelet.
13. make more art. working on it.
yes! A!
14. have more parties. one/season i think
had small small small gathering for the superbowl which turned out to be extremely fun. plus, originated the idea of Homos for the Holidays. Profitable! B+
15. walk more um....yeah. need to work on this..
16. go to the museums at least once/month.
well, i went to the gates in NYC. that'll count, right? C+
17. try one new restaurant/month.
F. snow kept me from going to AV last night with the girls. boo.
18. finish stripping wall paper process- paint bedroom. nope. not one bit
19. make schedules, stick to them. not so good.
20. be nicer. i don't know how to qualify that. probably still in progress...
21. find new job.
I have to say, i'm quite enjoying working avec le mari. which is neither healthy nor productive. but it's actually fun figuring out solutions to stupid problems. plus, he totally gets how stupid my job is sometimes where sean- not so much.
so..all in all, probably a c-. i'd like to hover around b...maybe a b+. i think an 'a' would be exhausting for everyone.
