I slept for 10 hours last night.  That is huge.  Gigantic.  A relief.

I know I have kept quiet for a while.  I would rather write about how well I am doing than how much I am struggling.  But sleep gives me perspective,

A third of the year has already come and gone and I realized the other day that I have not “assessed” myself yet on the progress I am making on my 50 goals I set in the beginning of 2012.  So, here’s my progress report.  I have some work to do…

1. Get new countertops.  Hopefully within the next month.
2. Install a new over-the-stove microwave. Not yet.

So needless to say, I learned a LOT from planning “An Evening With Chris Trapper To Benefit Invisible Illnesses.” These “lessons” will definitely come in handy as we begin planning the second annual.

Here’s my Top 20:

1. Get a venue secured first, and put it in writing that it is secured. Otherwise you will be scrambling, panicking, and using up all your cell phone minutes trying to find a new venue, because the other one fell through. (Thank you Lou and Harry’s!)
