Being tax time and a period for inventory, I decided to look back on my Resolutions for 2013 and see how I am doing. Sadly - it seems a big FAIL! Here is my accountability update.
1) Balance - Considering that this week alone has just finished up our largest event for YPC, the Opening of Richfield's Chicago, the end of the WGI winter guard season and a cabaret salon performance this weekend - major overbalance. I am finding 12 hour days, irritability and a need for rest in spite of the ongoing quest for Spring. Grade - F
2) Breakfast - I have made minimal strides here. The problem is not taking the time for it. It is that there is such a small selection of things to eat without major prep. A bowl of cereal or 1/2 cup of yogurt are banner days for me. Weekends have been better with savory batches of waffles on a Sunday instead of church. Grade - C+
3) Books - Reading takes time and music can be great background noise when working on a project. Thus far I finished a trashy Tab Hunter biography and got about 50 pages into Edna Ferber's Show Boat from a garage sale. I don't even take the time to read magazines until they are back issues a few months old. Grade - D
4) Eating Out - I still have Groupons that either expire or are used on the last day like the hoards of others. It is still a bit too early for summer dining fare. But we have been bold about scoping out new places like Spill the Wine or favorite like the Finnish Bistro. Grade - B-
5) Eating In - I think winter has helped on this one. The crook pot has been used for batches of soups and stews. Holidays have forced us to be creative on a regular basis. And Jeffrey often cooks up a sit down meal. Still stuff in the back of the pantry that need to be used before expiration but... Grade - B
6) Fitness - does choreographing a musical with the kids count? There have been a few days where I come home to an aching ass. But nothing on a regular schedule at home. I did get out the air pump and filled the fitness ball and used twice. Grade - D
7) Game nights - I sent out one invite for a grouping in Jan., never followed up on it. Bought a few more at the thrift store though. Grade - F
