Resolution check!! I can't believe it's going to be April tomorrow, wow!
RESOLUTION #1: read 100 books this year. So far I've read:
January- 11 books
February- 5 books
March- 10 books
TOTAL: 26 books (to stay on track, I should have 25 books read so far)
STATUS: Doing great! I've read some FANTASTIC books this month! :) This is my favorite resolution ever!!
8 books were from 2 of my favorite series! ♥ I also read the first Dexter book since Jason and I have become obsessed with the tv series (watching all 5 seasons in 2 months totaling 60 episodes, lol! It's soooo good... I can't wait for season 6!!!). The book mirrored the first season pretty well until the end. I've read that none of the other books follow the show though so I don't know if I'll read any more.
I also read a parenting book on shyness: Nurturing the shy child : practical help for raising confident and socially skilled kids and teen. I'm so glad I did!! I love it when I can label books as life-changing for me! I have come to terms with so much of my own severe social anxiety as a child/teenager/adult and this book has helped me so much with that AND how to help Venily and what to look for in the future! I broke down and cried REPEATEDLY while reading this book, that's how much it touched me! Half of the time I felt like this book was written specifically for me, about my child hood and occasionally there were things where I was like "oh my gosh, that's Venily!". I am proud of myself for how many things I'm doing "right" with Venily and have recognized a few things I've done wrong, but feel so much better for finally knowing which are which!! I have started doing imaginal exposure therapy with Venily and am hoping it works to help her with her dance class on Monday! I am so nervous!

RESOLUTION #2:
I will work out at least 5x per week!
STATUS: The first 2 weeks of the month, I didn't do much at all. I was sick and then Haven got sick! :( Then I went walking when it was nice out for a few days, but other than that didn't do much! Soooo... I decided that I needed to be held more accountable! So I will write down what I do each WEEK now and see if that will make me work out more! So far this week I'm doing great though!! And I have revised my resolution to say 5x per week! :) Oh, and I am in severe pain, lol, but it will be well worth it! I'll post my weekly progresses on Saturdays!

RESOLUTION #3:
I WILL donate blood this year.
STATUS: Completed 2/17. I will be able to donate blood again in the middle of April- and am looking forward to it! I even got my cool blood donating card in the mail and plan to fill out the back with dates! :) Yay!
