2016 Goals check in

At work, we have the option of doing a mid-year checkin.  I was reading back through my posts and realized I put 2016 goals together, so I thought I'd record my progress and see if I can re-commit myself to some of these:

Personal
  • Get on a regular haircut schedule again (It's been 5 months since I had a haircut, and it looks like it). - FAIL.  I had a haircut in April, but haven't had one since.  I need to call and schedule.
  • Get back to being able to run 2 miles nonstop by the end of summer (this is going to be tough unless Nugget starts sleeping more, but a girl can dream). Nope. I ran/walked two and a half miles with the Hubs one night, but I'm going to aim for work out 2-3 times a week instead.
  • Finish SB and BW's "baby" blankets (luckily I made them toddler/kid size from the start; I'm cheating a bit here as I just finished SB's; I have a few more hours for BW's). Still have some work to do on BW's, but I made some significant progress last weekend,  Probably have 4 hours or so to go.
  • Choose and start "baby" kid blanket for Nugget. I may start looking for "high school graduation blanket" ideas

Work
  • Get a promotion (I'm really nervous about this one; I don't have enough confidence in myself). No promotion, but did get a nice raise in March.  Still need to take action on this one.

Household
  • Declutter and organize master closet See my last post - this is probably never going to happen.
  • Redecorate SB and BW's room to a "big girl room" (I'm super excited about this one, and have even opened my Pinterest app again to explore color ideas. In progress; need to paint and rearrange some shelving. 
  • Make our office an office instead of a storage room The office was mostly an office, then we decided to make it a play room so the toys stopped over-running our living room.  So, now I need to paint and get the final "office-y" stuff out of it.

Financial
  • Finish paying off medical bills (still some lingering from Nugget's birth and subsequent illnesses) DONE!
  • Increase 401(k) contributions 1% over yearly scheduled increase DONE!
  • Commit to plan to pay off credit card debt and make substantial dent in credit card debt (this one weighs huge on my mind.  We have more than I'm comfortable with due to the Hubs' stint of unemployment in 2014; the Hubs and I are still working on how to communicate financially after five years of marriage - I think this is still one of the areas that is a work in progress for us, and may be for some time. Still needs to work.  Hubs lost his job after I made these goals and that significantly hindered my ability to make progress on this one.
So, not too much progress, but honestly, I had forgotten about these existence of these goals.  I need to print them out and hang them where they are visible and start knocking them out.
