2012 in Review

So last year for the first time I set yearly and monthly goals for myself. I wrote them out on poster board which I then glued (yes, glued) to the back of my closet door so I saw them every day. Let's review how I did...

Read 85 books -I managed to read 77 books, which is still pretty amazing. My favorites would have to be all 3 of Gillian Flynn's books- Gone Girl, Sharp Objects and Dark Places.

Run in at least 5Ks/races- One goal I did meet! This year I set a 5k PR of 28:13, which isn't fast by any means but great for me. I ran 4 5Ks, the Baltimore Marathon Relay and an 8k.

Travel! Places I hope to see include Europe, the Caribbean and Vegas- Alas, I did not make it to any of these places. :sad face: I did however take a 10 day trip to Northern Cali, plus the usual visits to Mi.

Donate $200 to charities/foundations- I exceeded this goal, so proud of myself for that.

Blog once a week (so far not meeting this yet, ha!)- Not so much. BUT now that I have an iPad I should have no excuse not to write.

Write 52 Thank You/Thinking of you Notes- Nope.

See 1 movie at the theatre a month- I made it to 14 movies, though seeing 4 movies at the MFF definitely helped this goal. 

Try one new restaurant a month- Close, but not quite as I only made it to 10 new places.

Write 25,000 words on my novel- Epic Fail.

Find myself in a relationship that is healthy, fun and passionate- Epic Fail once again. I don't think I even went on one proper date. There was the Hershey park disaster with crazy Shane who I dated for 4 weeks or so, but that's the closest I came to seeing someone.

Take Kyle to the 2013 Winter Classic- This one is nullified as the NHL season did not happen.
