Well, this was a big fat fail. 2011 was a great year but I didn’t accomplish most of the things on my list of resolutions. Here’s the link:

From 12/31/10: New List For 2011
1. Take ASL classes to become conversational.- nope but I did learn a number of signs and am now adept at fingerspelling.
2. Pay off credit card debt.- paid off some but still have a way to go. Should be done by the end of 2012.
3. Start an IRA.- no. Didn’t even attempt to do this one.
4. Learn 1000 Spanish words (I have a flashcard kit that I need to keep up with.) NO- How do you say “fail” in Spanish?
5. Change my eating habits to a more healthy style.- This one I actually did.
6. Read 125 books.- I stopped counting at 45 in July. I did read more books (I would estimate another 20 but I didn’t come close to 125.)
7. Travel someplace new.- YES! I went to Prague with Brian in February.
8. Do two adventurous things (possibly ogo and skydiving.)- I did the Warrior Dash (5K obstacle course) but that’s only one. 
9. Create an educational website.- NO! I didn’t even attempt this one either.
10. Stop worrying so much (maybe learn meditation and yoga techniques?)-NO! But I did start doing yoga (which I suck at but enjoy) so hopefully this will work out better in 2012.

In hindsight, I feel that 10 resolutions may have been too ambitious. I just have 3 for 2012:
1. Read 12 classic novels (1 per month.)
2. Be more patient.
3. Pay off my credit card debt within the year.
Happy 2012 to you and yours!
