My list of goals, checkin' in.
1) Become a Certified Teacher with the SAFD (Summer 2010) -- Working on it. Working on it. Right now I'm trying to get more choreography and workshop gigs
2) Do Hundred Pushups to completion -- Fail at this specific thing, but I'm actually in really good shape and have some great workout goals in front of me, just not the hundred pushups.
3) Start taking Martial Arts classes-- I should get on that
4) Learn all the words to "It's the End of the world as we know it and I feel fine" by REM -- Work in Progress
5) Teach at a college (even if it's just a workshop)-- I need to do a mailing...still
6) Choreograph for a professional theater - Again, need to do a mailing
7) Meet shadowcat410 -- In the books, on the calender, going to happen! Woo!
8) Bench press 135 lbs, free weights. Why 135? Because that's one big plate on each side. -- Working on it, but I'm not sure how to increase the amount of weight I can press beyond what I'm doing. I've got my reps up, but I'm nervous about jumping up the weight on the freeweight bench with no spotter. I don't want to get squished
9) Round out my stage weapon collection. 2 of everything (I'm actually not that far off from this...) - I'm not pushing for any weapons right now, but my eyes are open for a single handed broadsword and a smallsword
10) See my six pack again: -- Getting there. I've lost most of the weight, I think I just need to build up the muscle bulk.
11) Attend every SAFD regional workshop at least once -- Nationals are down, I'm teaching at Carnage in the Corn again. I'll have to try extra hard to do Beach Bash and March Madness
12) Set up a work space where I can fix and clean my weapons.-- I suppose I could use the office, once it's no longer purple
13) Get another tattoo: -- DONE!
14) Find 10 more easy to make recipes that I enjoy (0/10):-- a side effect of the whole "Single again" thing is that you find yourself cooking very rarely. Still, I should poke around and see what I can find in this dept.
15) Be able to do a handstand for at least 20 seconds-- Still building my core strength.
16) Write 3 articles to The Cutting Edge or The Fight Master (0/3): No progress
17) Check this list every week: Yeah, that didn't happen. I'll never get this one taken care of. Just too much going on.
18) Attend Renn Faire every summer (0/3): Plan on it. Might go this Sunday if D doesn't mind me tagging along and I've got plans to go the weekend of the 20th.
19) Learn enough about putting up shelves to be comfortable putting up shelves. --DONE!
20) Watch all of Rome:-- Danielle has it, I just need time to do it.
21) Watch all of Battlestar Galactica: Waiting on Season 4.5 to be released.
22) Watch all of The Sarah Conner Chronicles: I've actually decided not to do this, since it was canceled after a season 2 cliffhanger ending. I don't need more unfinished things in my life.
23) Do something for every Halloween: I guess we'll see.
24) Do something for every Anniversary: I'm actually unstriking this. I still think I should do something on those days. Just not the sort of things I'd orginally planned when I made this list.
25) Do something for every New Years: -- Wow..I hope so.
26) Ditch the clothes I've been hanging onto since High School simply because they fit.: Working on it. Got a whole box of stuff in my bedroom that I'm donating
27) Get my heath checked every six months (blood pressure, cholesterol..stuff like that): Got "tested" a couple months ago. I should probably look into getting a physical sometime soon. Just take a look under the hood, see how things are working.

29) Learn to sew: no progress, anybody out there want to teach me?
30) Keep my new car clean: Outside is clean, some trash could be chucked and some odds and ends could be moved out...
31) Teach Gun-Fu at 3 regional workshops. I'm booked to teach it at this years Carnage in the Corn, does that count? I taught it there last year and this goal did not specify if I needed to teach it at 3 new workshops or just 3 workshops in general.
32) Save up for and buy a Mini Laptop:Done
33) Write a review for every new movie I see: So far so good.
34) Watch The Godfather Trilogy finally (0/3): Danielle actually bought the first two at Target the other day....we should make a night of that...

36) Save 10% of every paycheck: Working on it. Played a little retroactivly on this one.

64) Organize my accessories (belts, earrings, rings, bandannas, etc): Done
65) Do not eat fast food more than once a week, try for less: Failed big time for a while, then succeeded big time for a while. My weight is still way down and I'm looking good, so I guess I should just keep up what I'm doing.
