February was really busy. At work my projects tripled. R visited for 11 glorious days. Which meant no blogging for me. No one wants to read a month worth of entries that say "I went to work, came home and went to bed."

But now it's March, there is a new addition to our team starting on Monday, and I am determined to get back to it!
Grow a garden on our porch
Our garden is still frozen solid, so this won't be happening for at least another month or two.

Read more novels
In February I read The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy), Water for Elephants, and the Pelee Project.
Learn (and practice) to cook well

Learn to speak Dutch
No real updates since my January update. I decided to sign up for a class, but the only one I could find is at the U of T and doesn't start until September. So I'm still researching.

Get rid of the junk in my bedroom and the garageI sent all of my remaining shoes and bags to the goodwill, and have started another pile to take soon.

Simplify my wardrobeAs I noted above, I've started another collection of clothes to take to goodwill or to sew into new things. I've got a lot of things that I noted this month that I rarely wear, which means more downsizing!

Finally get my Professional Engineer designationWork has been far to busy to do anything about this. As important as it is, billable work takes precedence!

Pay off my debtThe last two are pretty big fails for me this month. With R here, I spent more money than I usually do. We had a beautiful trip to Ottawa, and I feel like it was worth it. but now I'm back on a strict spending diet!

Track the waste that I produce each week/month
I don't know what happened with this. I was really good in January, and then I just stopped! I'm going to work at getting back into this again, because if I don't measure how much waste I produce, how am I ever going to reduce/eliminate it.  I did make my first homemade toothpaste today. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll post about it as soon as I know it's not terrible!
