Time to check up on how my goals are coming along for 2012. Let's consult the original post:
1. Keep schedules better. I have been doing well in this area. I have been putting appointments and reminders into my phone as soon as I can. I have been sticking with Informant since I already have it set up on the Iphone. I'm sure there is something better but for now it's working.
2. Take more pictures with my camera. A definite score here. Since hubby got me my memory stick I can shoot till my hearts content. No worry about running out of space. I still need to take more each day but it's progress for sure.
3. Read more. Well I guess if you count blogs I have accomplished this. I don't seem to get that much alone time lately, which doesn't lend itself to reading for long periods of time. I have gotten through about 1/3 of 1000 Gifts which is probably more than I have done in years.
4. Knit my sock yarn stash. I'm still working on the first pair of socks, but I haven't bought any sock yarn!
5. Card and spin my fleece. I carded a little. I will probably spin a little this week. I put this in my calendar as a reminder to card every couple of weeks.
6. Publish one of my patterns. I have to have my last pattern test knitted and then I can put it on the blog. I haven't even been able to blog about the project because the original was a gift for Christmas that I still have not given to the recipient.
7. Explore the vegetarian lifestyle. I signed up for the Whole Foods Workshop and am so excited about it. I think this is going to be life changing.
8. Take country line dancing. Lisa has been researching this for us. It's a go as soon as we can find a class that is convenient.
9. A place for everything. I made some strides on the first floor. I have been just tossing whatever I can when nobody is looking and finding cute baskets and things to keep items contained. My yarn room is this weekend so wish me luck.
10. Change up the blog. I made some changes but I have more that I would like to do.
I think I am on target. I'm not expecting miracles overnight but it is progress. And that is good.

It's impressive that you've already made so much progress!
This is an ambitious list of resolutions. Good work.
I love your goal list for the year! I have to say that I never thought I would be a vegetarian, I love steak. But, over the past several years (since I was first pregnant) I have made many strides into vegetarian/vegan eating. I would love to be vegan, but find that I do well with eggs once in a while. I do want to give up dairy though. It is a little too much for me, although I do love cheese...maybe I wouldn't love it as much if it didn't have that addictive chemical in it...As for finding a place for everything, have you looked at Organized Simplicity by Tsh from simplemom.net? I have the print version, but I recently got it for my nook color too. It is an amazing book. I have been going through it since the beginning of the year, which I think you have noticed on my Thursday posts :-) I definitely recommend it though! It really helps to put *stuff* into perspective! Hope you are having fun with the workshop so far! I am loving the new recipes :-) Especially the green smoothies...although I use baby spinach instead of kale, much milder taste - and I don't have a source of organic kale right now. Sorry...long comment :-)
You're doing great! My goal of eating healthier, exercising more and just trying to get in shape in general did good for about 2 weeks then my toddler got sick for 2 weeks. I've fallen way behind and need to re-start! I hope you enjoy the Whole foods workshop. I love Heather's blog and hope to take her course one of these years!
...after just 38 days, I think that's tons of progress! can't wait to hear about the whole foods class and I'm enjoying watching you knit all those socks!!
