ummm ... we may have a problem. my birthday is in 51 days. 51 days! and i haven't recapped this list even once. so, at marlana's request, here's a look at how scary this is going to be. :)
1. finish The One With 31 book: done!
2. create a book to track my 32 goals: it's pretty up to date. just a couple of things need to be added - maybe some photos - it's going well.
3. watch all netflix-available Vincent D'Onofrio movies: okay, he's got 41 movies available on netflix. i've seen 12. that means i need to see 39 more in the next 51 days. ummm ... wow.
4. watch half of marlana's movies: i need watch 14 of her movies. i've watched ... drum roll please ... three. yeah.
5. finish watching all netflix-available episodes of The Office: done! easy.
6. watch Law & Order: Trial by Jury: yeah, haven't even thought about this one. but in fairness, i've been watching a lot less tv the past few months.
7. post items on etsy: nope, still too scary. plus, i've not made anything to post except for a few crocheted rose rings.
8. plant vegetables: done! tomatoes, radishes, lettuce, cucumbers, spinach, green beans, squash and asparagus.
9. play every game in the house: HA! i actually made a list of the games in the house. there were 54 when i started the list. i've played nine. and i've added at least two games to the stash.
10. decorate my bedroom: nope. unless the two photos & the cocktail umbrella stuck on the wall count?
11. cut my fabric stash in half: right ...
12. finish a quilt front or back: done! i finished the front of the t-shirt quilt.
13. cut my yarn stash in half: nope. pretty sure i have more yarn now than i did when i started. BUT, i've still been super productive with my yarn arts. i just accumulate as i make new projects.
14. complete a pattern from ravelry: done! several, actually.
15. finish the tree scarf: done! and i'm thinking if it's not too cold tomorrow, i might go put it on.
16. make some jewelry: nope.
17. save money for a stand mixer: currently, no. i started saving money ... but it's all been used for other things.
18. try six recipes from Baked Explorations: halfway there: devil's food cake, angel frosting and grasshopper bars.
19. use my madeleine pan: no, but i do have several yummy looking recipes. :)
20. use my tart pan: done! the thanksgiving pumpkin custard was in my tart pan.
21. make injera: nope.
22. use my ice cream maker: done!
23. make pierogi: mmmm ... pierogi. but, no, i haven't made any.
24. succeed at meringues: HA!
25. eat pizza at Bazbeaux: done! marlana and i went for my birthday.
26. end the year weighing less than i do now: so far so good on this one. it would take more effort than i'm willing to put into it to tell you how much i've lost since my last birthday, but i know it's at least 25 pounds. i've lost about that much in the past 11 weeks.
27. regrow/replace Bill: yeah, bill's dead. and he's not been replaced. so ... yeah.
28. paint Bill's pot: nope.
29. read an autobiography/memoir: nope.
30. fast from the internet for three consecutive days, twice: hahahahahahahaha ... nope.
31. send mail to my nieces: i sent alicia a get well card a couple of months ago. so i'm halfway there.
32. make christmas cards AND send them: nope. but then, i never said they'd be out by christmas, right? :)
so ... yeah. 32 goals, and i've accomplished ... 12. awesome. it's gonna be a busy 51 days. :)

Look at it this way... you've accomplished 11 more goals than I have this year!
2 things we have in common: 1.) I've been thinking of making pierogi for years, but haven't. It can't be that difficult? And so yummy. Why haven't I? 2.) I would like to post items on etsy, but find it scary as well. Why is that such a conundrum? Shouldn't be. Good luck with your list!
but... think of the things NOT on this list that you didn't expect to do? so you win. hands down.
