2011: My Year of Awesomeness

February 8, 2012 By Dusty Rogers 7 Comments

Speaking of goals, let’s take a look back at my 2011 resolutions, shall we?

1. Be on time.

As I stated in my 2011 Resolutions Check-In, this isn’t exactly my strength. Case in point:

It’s February 8th and I’m just now wrapping up my 2011.

In fact, that’s not entirely true since I still have pictures from the last two months of 2011 to organize and upload to my “2011” photo album. And I still need to finish Kate’s 21, 22, and 23 Month posts (Mom of the Year!) from last year. And guess what. I still need to write about Kate’s cleft palate repair surgery—from 2010!

CLEARLY NOT ON TIME!

I cannot in good conscious give myself credit for this one. I will instead audit the course and give myself an A for effort—in life.*

2. Run 400 miles.

BAM! How you like me now?!

Okay, really, I shouldn’t be talking trash because I barely squeaked this one out. And considering I even trained for (and completed—woot!) my first half-marathon, it’s actually a little pathetic that I didn’t log more miles than this.

Meh. I’m giving myself another A on this one.

I grade on a curve.

3. Find more time for blogging.

Let’s let the numbers do the talking here:

Number of posts published in 2010: 112
Number of posts published in 2011:  96

WINNING!

(And by “winning!” I mean “sucking at life.” Same as Charlie Sheen.)

If my 2011 resolutions had been (1) getting shit done whenever I get around to it, (2) completing my first half marathon, (3) writing 96 charming and witty blog entries; 93 of which are about my daughter, and (4) visting Starbucks so often they give me a gold card…well, there just wouldn’t be any room for improvement, now would there? And I’m all about self-improvement!

Stay tuned for my 2012 goals.  We’ll revisit this topic.

*Although as previously stated, really I set this resolution with the goal of not being late to meetings and appointments and I totally kicked ass in those two categories.

My solution was to simply schedule fewer meetings and appointments.

    I have yet to make any photo albums since my daughter was born. She will be two at the end of March. FAIL! And if I was working nearly full time I would not be blogging as much as I do. I think you’re doing just fine :).

    Love this post. Isn’t it amazing the drive that we start the year out with? I was just thinking about my 2012 resolutions, and I can’t even remember what they all were. I’m guessing my progress report won’t look so great.

    Yeah, I’m with Ashley. My 3.5 year old doesn’t have a single album. Fail. Fail. Fail.

    My own long term goals tend to lean towards aims that require the exertion of little to no personal effort, such as growing bangs out. (That doesn’t mean I am already awesome. It just means that I am lazy and unmotivated.) So your accomplishments are quite impressive to me.

    I think in general I need to do better about setting realistic goals. I tend to pick things like, “dress more like a girl” but what does that mean, really? And I’m VERY happy in a t-shirt in jeans, 99% of the time. :) Why change who I am?
