New Year's Eve day.
It's the time of reckoning. Of Top Ten Lists. Of looking back over resolutions fulfilled and not, as well as making new resolutions for the next 52 weeks to come.

And really, who am I to buck tradition?
So without further ado

~~- Go to Costa Rica for a week in March.~~
Done! It was glorious, and aside from my WLG pinging pretty regularly, it was the most calm/happy/relaxed I've been in a good long while.
My belly was fantastic the whole week! Something that hasn't happened since The Zombies.

~~- Travel to San Diego for Nerd Mecca yet again.~~
Done! It was also glorious, though...a bit more spendy than I strictly should have undertaken given my new living situation. To the point where I'm still paying it off several months later because I apparently have a hard time living within the means of my new budget.

~~- Record a VA Demo Reel~~
Believe it or not, this is done! Spent some time in an actualfax recording studio and everything!

- Learn an accent not my own
Nooooope.

- Learn to control the one accent I do own
Wicked nooooope, kid.

- Release said reel into the marketplace.
Uh uh on this one too, sadly.

- Sail on the Charles River.
Couldn't swing it financially.

- Run a 5k
Oh the plans I had...

~~- Make pasta from scratch~~
THIS I DID! On my birthday, no less! Pretty much thanks to the mice which set up shop in our kitchen, leaving our stove top and toaster oven as the only real means of cooking. But still! Fresh Pasta!

- Learn how to use my sewing machine
Oh...wow....lookit the time....

- Kick my PTSD in the shins really damn hard
Nope. I wish. I really did truly wish. What's worse is that I do believe I backslid, rather than gained ground. Sigh.

- Play hookie from work for mid-week fun.
I think the only days I played hookie from work were to clean the house pre-party, so I hardly think that counts.

- Destinations for the above include: Six Flags, Hampton Beach, P-Town, The City Museum, The Mutter Museum.
Sigh.

~~- Get "Foxes in the Hen House" off the ground.~~
This was done. Is on goingly done. We've got over 20 episodes up. A tumblr. A twitter. A facebook. A wordpress. This is a thing that happens.

- Finally produce Tumblr project.
I did come close to doing this one, and then GamerDorf got into the racket of SWATting people and I decided that maybe it wasn't the best idea to start a project that went anywhere near that sort of thing.

So out that's 5/15. Uh...GO ME! \o/!
/cough/

That was then, this is now.

- Upload my Demo Reel
(Thanks to the wonder of Amazon Points I'll have some decent amateur recording equipment coming my way.)

- Return to school.
(Passed my Critical Read and Writing Skill Assessment test last month. I'll be registering soon.)

- Gain Ground on PTS
(I'm sick of backsliding.)

- Take steps to my debt by 3/4 by year's end.
(Make more meals at home. Host more social events. Bring lunches to work. Plan any travels strategically. etc.)

- Not over burden myself. Whole Ass more things, rather than Half-Ass.
(School. Three jobs. Debt Reduction. Those are my priorities, in that order.)

- Learn something new.
(Be it an accent. A computer programming thing. A language.)

- Exercise more
(100 Push Up. Return to Couch to 5K. Daily Yoga)

- Learn to Sew
(I have many a Ninja Turtle T-shirt from the 90s that dream of becoming a cute skirt. Plus I might need Air Acolyte robes. Or a Commander Bumi costume)

- Play Hookie From Work for Day Trips
(The Beach. Six Flags. Heck, even an overnight in Greenfield to close out the People's Pint one night.)

- Eye make up
(unravel its mysteries.)
