22 Accomplishments: March Update

The month of March is over.  This is what I have accomplished according to my 22 accomplishment list: 
-Sent out 1 birthday card this month.  
-Tried a raspberry.  Not too bad--I like them better than strawberries.  (Yes, I know I'm strange, I don't like strawberries.)
-Took our family photo of the month while we were at Squaw Creek.  Have gotten many comments on facebook on how well dad looks.  Just 2 months ago he barely had any hair.
-52 week portrait project is going strong.  Love this project!  Definitely going to keep doing this one in the years to come.  Maybe I'll do different themes each year...we will see!
-Read Marrying Daisy Bellamy by Susan Wiggs.  
-Watched the following movies: The French Connection, Shakespeare in Love, Gigi, All About Eve.  (I had seen Gigi many times when I was a little girl, but I didn't remember any of it so I had to re-watch the movie.)


This is what my list looks like now:
1.  Make dinner for a family who is going through a tough time. (January 22, 2011)
2.  Get back to my ideal weight.
3.  Finish college.
4.  Get a 'big girl' job.
5.  Go a day without getting on the computer (or getting on the internet via iPhone.)
6.  Send birthday cards to all my good friends. (January, February, March)
7.  Make a Christmas advent tree like this one.
8.  Fix and paint my desk chair in my room.
9.  Try 5 new foods. (Soy beans, raspberries)
10.  Create (and do) a cleaning schedule to keep my room better organized.
11.  Take a family photo each month for a year. (January, February, March)
12.  Do a 52 week portrait challenge. (Have completed 12 weeks so far)
13.  Feel more comfortable cooking, especially meats. 
14.  Plant tulips in mom's garden. 
15.  Do a painting.
16.  Clean out my closet.
17.  Finish the quilt I started 4 or 5 years ago.
18.  Learn to make French Toast.
19.  Reach $2100 PCV  in my Silpada sales for 3 2 months. (February)
20.  Go on a family trip.
21.  Read 20 books.
  Here is the list I've read so far:
    1.  Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin (I love this author!  She is one of my favorites.  I've read every single book by her.)
    2. Between Sisters by Kristin Hannah (Good, but wasn't expecting the last twist.  Hit a little close to home.)
    3.  Marrying Daisy Bellamy by Susan Wiggs. So good!  One of my favorite out of the Lakeshore Chronicle series.  It has been really hard to not spoil the book before mom read it.  So far, so good!
22.  Watch every movie that made 'Best Picture' in the Oscars.
 Here is the list: I've marked off the ones I've already seen.  There are a few that I've already seen, but I need a refresher before I check them off the list.  (Too bad, I could cross off another 6 movies...)
