In order to hold myself accountable, I’m going to try to post weekly progress reports for my 2012 goals. Right now this site has like 10 subscribers and the only people who directly visit the site are Nikki and myself, so this is more for me than for the non-existent you 😀

CNC Router

I have the motors and most of the hardware sitting in the garage right now. The plan is to buy the MDF next Thursday or Friday and start making the machine on Saturday or Sunday.

 Affiliate Website

Two days after I posted my goals, we received a baby gift that included bibs with website names on them. In what can only be described as a “Someone needs to get fired” moment, they didn’t buy the domain names so I did. So far, I haven’t made any money off the sites but they are getting a little bit of traffic. I made about $120 in December across all my sites, but I think that might be artificially inflated by people we know clicking on affiliate links. So far this year, I’ve made…..eleven cents.

Run a 5k

I’ve added 300 meters to the walks that Casey and I take in preparation for running 5,000 meters. Next weekend I’m planning on buying new running shoes. The couch to 5k program takes 10 weeks, and the 5k I’m thinking of running is in April, so I have to start training in about 3 weeks. I’d prefer to do my runs in the morning, but I don’t think that’s realistic. I like to sleep too much.

Finding a church

I haven’t done squat about this other than talk to Nikki about it. I’ve got a training class this weekend so I can’t attend a service. Next weekend she’s out of town and I may or may not try to attend a service on my own.

For this week I’m pretty happy with my progress on the router and the 5k. The affiliate website is kind of meh, and I’m falling flat on finding a church. Now I know what I need to work on for next week.
