Yearly Goals Check-Up

The middle of April seems like a fair time to do a check-up on where I stand on my yearly goals. I'm not overly happy with my progress and need to come up with a way to motivate myself to greater action! Here's my update:

1. Pay off van. Done 2-09
2. Emergency fund to $1000. Was completed for all of 2-1/2 days before the van needed work! Currently working to refund this account.
3. Pay off Mastercard. Made large payment in February but slow progress due to refunding of EF and unexpected pet expenses last month.
4. Pay off Visa. This goal is a stretch under the best of circumstances; no real progress to date.
5. Complete 1 unfinished project each month. Have completed 2 so far, anticipating completing 2 this month.
6. Complete Revelation Bible study. In progress
7. Visit Washington, DC. Due to now having no paid vacation time, this has been changed to a simple vacation over a long weekend.
8. Complete 6 cross-stitch projects. Have completed 3 so far, still in progress.

So there we have it. I had hoped to have had the EF completely funded at this point and the Mastercard within 1 or 2 payments of being gone, but life happens, and that is what an EF is for, after all. Now, to figure out how to stay motivated..... ;-)
