2014 Goals Update

Updates are in red.

Ongoing Projects

• The Wine Club - I love wine and like to try new ones. I will continue to add and update my list. Didn't add any to the list.  I did not drink a lot of good wine this year.
• 100 Things to Do - When I created this list, I knew it would be a lifetime project but in order to actually complete items, I need to consistently revisit the list. Completed 8 things on list (see below)
• Cooking My Way - I almost finished my cooking scrapbook in 2012. I will continue to cook my way through all the ripped out and saved recipes until they are gone along with the marked untried recipes in my cookbooks. This project is not as fun as it was when I lived with my kids and had someone to cook for.  I may or may not finish this project. Now that I have a kitchen again, I will work on this project in 2015.
