<p>I&#39;m afraid today&#39;s update is a bit of a downer -- I didn&#39;t <em>technically</em> accomplish either of my goals, but that doesn&#39;t mean I&#39;m not going to tell you about it.</p>
<p>Here&#39;s the one that I want to do more than anything in the world, but which I simply couldn&#39;t do:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><strong>#7 get 10 hours of sleep a night for 10 nights in a row (16)</strong></em></p>
<p><em>I&#39;m still at the mercy of a certain baby&#39;s sleep schedule (or rather, lack thereof) but I&#39;ve decided to go to bed for 10 days at a time that would technically afford me ten hours of uninterrupted sleep. That would be 9 pm.</em></p>
<p><em>*gulp*</em></p>
<p><em>This better be good.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Oh, just the thought of ten hours of sleep for ten days! The impossible dream, is what it is. This was supposed to be the one I was going to start with, and I tried, I really did, but insomnia caused by, well, you know, made it impossible. And then the baby started teething, and then I resented having a 9 pm bedtime. Even though I imposed it on myself.&#0160;</p>
<p>Goals are weird.</p>
<p>But this one will be revisited, because it needs to be.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><strong>#8 learn to use my DSLR (18)</strong></em></p>
<p><em>The For Dummies people gave me&#0160;<a href="http://www.dummies.com/store/product/Digital-Portrait-Photography-For-Dummies.productCd-0470527633.html" target="_self">this book</a>, so maybe I&#39;ll finally figure out what the heck aperture is.<strong>&#0160;</strong></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I still don&#39;t know what aperture is. But I still have the book, and I still take photos almost every day.&#0160;</p>
<p>This one will be revisited as well.</p>
