What Happened to January?????

Seriously people. What happened?!?! I swear it was just the first of the month (and year) and I had all these plans made. Now, it's the 31. The end of January, and tomorrow brings a new month. I got nothing done! I started a couple different things, but nothing actually got complete. I take that back. I celebrated my birthday. That's it. Oh man. And I didn't even keep anyone updated on that! Horrible. Just plain horrible. No better time than the present to see what I really did half-ass  slack on. Bah.

-Read 1 book (startin' out small)
     hahaha. I started reading The Night Circus. Got maybe 2 chapters in. I'm ashamed.
-Redo family binder and get it ready for 2013

     I did start working on this. Got new pages started and planned out how I'm reorganizing my organization. But didn't get it completed. Although, there is still this afternoon before I go to work, so there is a slight possibility I might be able to get this one done. But don't hold your breath, cause I definitely am not.
-stick to my meal plans (I already have the whole MONTH planned out!)

     I totally did this! Well, to the best that I could, everyone knows there are those days you just don't wanna cook, or someone (like parents) want to take you out or have you over. BUUUT...over all, I definitely stuck to cooking meals at home and the meals I wrote down for the month were in fact made. WHOOP WHOOP!
-Save money.

    Weeeellll....sorta. Not officially though. And I spent it. hahaha. For my birthday, I decided to take myself shopping. I don't do it very often, and  of all the times to do it, I figured my birthday was as good a reason as ever. And, we've been paying on our credit cards and such to bring those down. Plus, being way ahead of bills. So, yeah, I'm gonna say this was done.
-Redo our guest bedroom.

     Ha. Ok. So here's the story on this. We started taking down the wallpaper. OH. MY. GOODNESS. We still have one wall to do!!! This stuff is a pain in my backside! It's put on with superglue. I'm convinced. Needless to say...it's taking a little longer than expected to get that room done. I have ideas of how I want it to look and I am price shopping on everything to get the best deal. We have a new comforter for the room already. But the wallpaper. AAAH...it's killin' me.
-Get quotes for our roof.

     Negative. Fail. Didn't even come close to happening.
-FINALLY print wedding/engagement pics

      Negative. Fail. Didn't even come close to happening.
-organize 2012 photos

     I organized them. Just never burned the pictures on to discs for safe keeping. But they are very nice put away into folders on the computer.
-And of course, celebrate MY BIRTHDAY!!

     Check. Check. And Check. On the 20th I went shopping with my mom and then we had dinner with my parents, then met friends downtown for celebrating. On the 21st, my actual birthday, we slept in, grabbed some lunch, took a nap, and then Josh took me for sushi. It was exactly how I wanted to spend my birthday.

I'm still not sure where the month went. I even (and still) feel like I started my list out small, but apparently not. Oh well...maybe February will be more productive around here.
