First Check-In: Out of the Starting Gate

Well, I decided Wednesdays and Sundays would be good check in days for me on my challenge. So here I am. Checking in and holding myself accountable.

I posted on my regular blog a whole list of To Do's and Goals. And I know in all honestly I could and will post about the progress of these items on my other blog. The reason for this blog is just to help keep me focused. As the days move forward I can get bogged down in the ins and out and I just want to keep moving.

As it turns out, I've been moving in the right direction these past few days! I've actually started working on marking a few items off that To Do list again and even advanced on my Goals.

To Do List items:

Started calling Child Care providers. They've all be very friendly. Moving right along.
We have registered but actually did this before I posed the challenge.
The upstairs (with the exception of the bathrooms) is fully painted (C$ did this not me).
And the carpet guy has measured for carpet. Hopefully we'll hear soon on the estimate.

Now part of my To Do list items runs into my list of Goals. So I'll just group them all together for the sake of the blog.

Writing - Not too much. But I have done some editing and I'm hopeful that I'll be submitting a story soon.

Knitting - I've actually done a good bit of this. I finished a sock and am now working on it's mate. I also got the merino wool I ordered for the baby blanket I plan to knit. Moving right along!

And I signed up for Project 365. I mentioned this on my blog the other day, but thought I'd go ahead and post again here. The project premise is you take one photo a day that represents that day of your life. This will be a great way to learn more about photography and to chronicle my upcoming year. I can't wait to look back over my year in pictures. This is going to be such an exciting and life altering year. Once the year is complete I plan to take all the photos and make a scrapbook.

You can follow along my photo journey at 365 Days of Tess. I've also dedicated one of my Flickr accounts to this as well. I've already started uploading photos. Since I started late I only have two days posted. Even though they say you can go back and post those days missed, I decided against. I'd just start where I started and go forward from there.

So anyone else out there want to share?

Anyone?
