Usually I hit a larger amount of resolutions harder on the head. This year I got close to many, but ended up changing my mind or having it affected by the tornado. So as an update, we didn't get a second car but we did get new car. I am at 209 lbs, but I didn't start actively starting to lose weight until August. I'll be under 200 by February and I feel rad about that. I've so far lost 34 lbs. I decided to not apply for Seattle Alt Fashion Week because I want more respect from the main stream and I've started to get it. I dressed a couple of musicians, but no actors. I have an opportunity to get some stuff on a director for a couple of red carpet events in 2012, so we'll see how that goes. I wasn't able to travel due to the tornado. All of my pre-storm plans were quashed, but I did do many other things! I cut down on conventions (I only do Teslacon now), I got a studio space outside of my home, a went to SCORE for help with my business plan and I've reassessed my business. I have different clients, more respect from MN Fashion, new and interesting clients and a lot of cool ideas.
So on to 2012!

I think that looks good. Not easy, but doable. It'll definitely keep me on my toes.
Well, good luck to all of you in your resolutions!
