Mid year New Year's resolution update

I'm not sure what kind of mood I'm in today. I'm not sad or particularly happy. I guess I'm just making it, and seeing as I've been just making it for a while now, I'm not sure that's the best place to be.

This list that I posted at the beginning of the year has been on my mind a lot lately. It's half way through the year and I feel as if I haven't made any progress on anything. Perhaps I'm just complaining, but let's review.

• Get a JOB! *No job yet. Yeah, I know I'm not alone in this, but it's a strange thing to take comfort in.*
• Finish one of my children's stories. *I did do this. At least I did finish one of my animations, Ninja Sheep. I'm very proud of the work I did on that project, but it's sunk into the aether. Not a lot of traffic, which I hoped would lead to my number one goal, but no.*
• Storyboard two stories I have. *Still working on this one. Motivation is my only obstacle.*
• Learn to swing dance. *Here is one I can say I'm happy about. I love learning to dance. I can't stop thinking about it, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm meeting new friends and having a blast. It's truly a bright spot.*
• Learn After Effects. (learning) *I've started with this, but have been standoffish about it. It's my own motivation thing again. Blah blah.*
• Move from my current apartment. *I absolutely, positively loathe where I live. I hate the people in my building, I hate the apartment, and I hate the area. One block in any direction would save my sanity, but it all comes down to that first blasted goal. Crap.*

I'm not in stagnation station. I guess I should be happy for that, but you know how you can get when things don't move at the pace that you want them to. It's frustrating and there is only so much 'positive reinforcement' that one can give oneself.

I guess that's why I'm happy to have the sewing and etsy store. I throughly enjoy doing them, updating the blog and talking with people all over the world. It's amazing! I frankly never thought it would get this popular. Thanks to everyone who has made this happens. But it is totally a diversion, not a distraction. I mean I work on many other things as well, but this seems to be the only one growing now. I guess that's what has my knickers in a crunch today.

How is everyone else doing mid-year? Any lulls, prospects, or great discoveries?
I will leave you all with a random photo of my craziness from the past half year.

'Nibblers'? Yes, there is a diner called Nibblers. After a night of dancing a friend and I came across this lit up sign on the highway. It used to be a Denny's, but these people were apparently too cheap to redo the signage. We were awestruck. We had to stop but they were closed.
