Final Check on Twenty-Ten Resolutions

• Eat at Five Guys   
• (3 times)

• Create and order prints of Blurb books for my family blog for 2008 and 2009.

• (Done.  Plus, I'm halfway through the un-blogged year of 2006.)

• Be able to run a mile without stopping.  
• (Nope.  Continuing this goal in 2011.)

• Learn to quilt, resulting in making Buddy's new blankey.
• (Yea!  Although a very simple quilt)

• Read 15,000+ pages. Include more classics, adult fiction and nonfiction. 
• (Yep.  Over 20,000.  Full book record for 2010 coming soon.)

• Get fit. I'm happy with how I look and I'm happy with the size clothes I wear. I just could be more toned and fit.  
• (Same.  The running a mile would have helped with this.)

• Use coupons.  
• (Sort of.  But I could be way better.)

• Start a book club for Princess Sparkley.  
• (Tried unsuccessfully in the summer.  Need to try again in the spring.)

• Finish writing something.  
• (Yikes.  This is the resolution I remembered every few months and freaked out about.  But I am working on something.  Extending this to 2011.)

• Be less sarcastic with my kids.  
• (I've tried, but not too successfully.)

• Be more crafty and hands-on with my kids.
• (I think so.)

• Plan homeschool lessons in more detail.
• (I could do better but I've done okay.)

• Visit a museum (or historic site) in Washington DC at least once a month.
• (See below.)

January- National Postal Museum (just Jed and the kids, I had strep throat)
February- National Gallery and Museum of Natural History
March- Williamsburg, Mt. Vernon, Cherry Blossom Festival, Kite Festival, National Aquarium in Baltimore and a trip to Philadelphia, PA
April- Cherry Blossom Festival, Washington Nationals baseball game, Great Falls National Park
May- National Train Day at Union Station (plus Jed took Little Guy and Buddy to the Air and Space Museum)
June- Alexandria - the Torpedo Factory Art Center
July- Potomac Mills Mall in Woodbridge (which, according to my new book, Virginia Curiosities, is the largest tourist attraction in Virginia... kinda sad.)
August-Manassas Battlefield and Stone Bridge, toured the Capitol with G and G from CA

October- Shenandoah National Forest (twice),  apple picking, Battlefield,

• Teach Buddy to read well.
• (Check.  He's still not convinced he's a reader but he's getting there.)

• Teach kids to ride bikes without training wheels. 
• (We tried.  Buddy did okay.  And they both majorly improved in the swimming department over the summer.) 

• Teach Princess Sparkley to sew.
• (We've worked on a few projects.)
