It’s that time again. Not as much progress this month as last month, but I can’t stay on fire the whole year.

2006 Goal Tracking

• Learn to whistle loudly using my fingers
  No progress yet. My grandma is having better luck than me
• Learn three five card tricks
  No new progress, still two down, three to go.
• Learn five origami models
  No new progress - still 3 down, at least 2 to go. My friend Ben is going to teach me some good ones.
• Redecorate/organize my family room and den
  No new progress. Now that I have my tax refund, I should be able to finish up the remainder of my goal.
• Get involved in a puppet team
  No new progress.
• Take a another small business development class
  Completed - I went to the class “Secrets to Starting Your Own Business” last week and picked up some good tips. The SBDC at NKU offers these free classes, so I’m going to look into taking some more, specifically “Accounting & Financial Management” and “Financing Your Business”
• Get A+, i-Net+ and/or SAS certified
  No new progress. SAS certification, while potentially the easiest and most relevant certification for me right now, may not be the way to go in the long run. The company is changing database and server software, moving away from SAS to Oracle 10g and J2EE. Guess I’ll focus my energy on the A+ for now and see if it’s worth taking the SAS exam at the end of the year.
• Take a week-long vacation and visit another state and national park on my list
  Heading down to Nashville this weekend. It’ll be a nice four day weekend and a nice road trip. Plenty planned for the Nashville weekend, too. Paintball, swing dancing, Elizabeth cooked meals Still toying with the possibility of heading to Maine and New England in October.
• Find a church home
  No new progress.
• Have a consistent daily quiet time
  Prayer time is getting better, but still have lots of work to do.
• Memorize 200 Bible verses
  Approx. 87 down, 113 to go.
• Swing dance once a month on average
  Went once in February, I will be going this Thurs, plus this weekend in Nashville. That puts me on goal.
• Be more punctual
  So-so.
