Resolutions Check in...

Remember all that hoopla a few months ago around New Year's resolutions...? Yeah. THOSE resolutions. My goals for the year were published in this post.  
3 months in is a good time to check in on where things stand right now. At least, at work they're crazy about quarterly business reviews, so might as well give it a go here too. :)
