Update 9.1.10

Goals
1) Read at least 6 books for fun (i.e. no business books)
2) Read one business related book a month
3) Read at least 12 spiritual/personal growth books
Progress - To date, I have read or re-read 34 books this year, so I'm well past the 30 I set for myself. I will update on each and post a review this weekend.

4) Technically and accidentally, finished a video game this weeked. So one down, 11 more to go.
Progress: Finished a second one a couple of weeks ago, but still not 100% complete (side missions)

5) Plan 6 dates with my wife (one every other month - she has the other six)
Progress: Well, we went to a movie since March, and we went bowling the other night. Needless to say, we've both failed on the every month thing (unless suggesting pizza at the last minute counts....yeah, I knew it didn't)

6) Becoming healthier
Progress: Gym-fail so far. I'm traveling for work now (two week trip=7lb gain). Back home, lost the trip gain. Need a better plan

7) Start drafting a book (yes, I want to write a book)
Progress: Got a netbook to replace my cellphone. Have started writing it, but haven't worked on it in a month or so.

8) Payoff all debt with the exception of my student loans and our largest two credit cards.
Progress: Ran the wrong direction and traded in the wife's car. Needless to say, no progress made.

9) Start a christmas club account for christmas 2010 so that it isn't a financial burden this year.
Progress: Yeah...about that...see 8

10) Apply for (and hopefully take) the Professional Engineers exam in October.
Progress: Started a new position in April, took my focus away for a while and missed the deadline.
Plan: Submit for the April 2011 test date.

11) Become more organized.
Progress: Rested on my laurels for sure with the garage task done. Long holiday weekend should provide time to fix that.
Plan: Prioritize/update To-Do list
