2012 is really flying by. I can't believe it is almost the end of the year! November was a so-so month for my two 2012 New Year's resolutions of purging and organizing my home and finishing up some of the many projects I have going on around the house. Work has been really busy plus with Thanksgiving and some travel thrown in I didn't get done as much as I would like. That is pretty much the story for me every month, though...
Resolution 1: Purge & Organize
In November I did a good job with my goal of having a volume of at least one trash cart (between my recycling and regular trash) out on the curb on garbage pick-up morning every Monday. Here's my breakdown:
- November 5: 1/2 full trash + 1/2 full recycle = 1 total
- November 12: 3/4 full trash + 3/4 full recycle = 1-1/2 total
- November 19: 1 full trash + 1/4 full recycle = 1-1/4 total
- November 26: Nothing (In the Virgin Islands)
On the organizing front I tidied up my collection of ribbons by winding them around clothes pins and storing them in baskets.
Resolution 2: Finish Up Projects
In getting some of my rooms updated I got a new rug for my living room and replaced my master bedroom closet light.
Outdoors I did some fall plantings of kale (they are still alive due to the mild winter) had the area behind my garage that was overgrown with blackberries cleaned up so that I can spruce that area up in the spring.
Have you been working on any projects this past month? Are you still trying to keep any New Year's Resolutions?
