NoImYoSeMo: Week 3 Update

I've made it past the halfway point of NaBloPoMo, so for my third weekly update for NoImYoSeMo (November Improve Yourself Month), I'm also going to update on my November 101 in 1001 goals.

101 in 1001:
Stay within Spark calories for the entire week, 4X. (One week) Check!
Post every day for a month. Still going strong!
Link a Flickr account to my website. Working on it. Have to upgrade my MT, so first I need to back up all my files just in case, which is turning out to be kind of a pain in the butt. I really need to take a weekend and thoroughly go through all the files on my website, because there are a lot useless things on there.
Post 10-photo based entries. I've only done two this month so far, which brings my total to 6 (I think). I have a photo for the cheesecake entry I need to add, which means I have three left. I'm sure you'll get at least one photo of Jonah from this coming weekend.
Update my address book. Still need to buy a new one.
Donate food to a food bank. We're planning on doing this this week.

NoImYoSeMo:
Do the dishes and wipe down the counters in the kitchen every night before bed. Did mostly okay. Thursday through Saturday they didn't look great, but they didn't look that bad.
Wipe down the bathroom counters everyday. I skipped a day or two this week when the counters looked fine.
Take vitamins every day. Check!
Floss every day. Ugh, this is just an impossible habit for me to adopt. I missed two days this week.
Be better about keeping in touch with out-of-town friends. Chatted and sent an email to out of town friends.
Go to the gym/workout 5X a week. Nope, only three. I was still too run down to work out on Sunday, was good Monday through Wednesday, skipped it Thursday because of poor laundry planning (gym clothes were left in the washer instead of hung to dry, so nothing to wear). Friday and Saturday I have no good excuse except that I've still been tired all week.
Actually bring my bags full of clothes to donate to Goodwill. Done.
Donate my old suits. This will have to get done the weekend after Thanksgiving, if at all. I hate that charities make it so difficult to donate things they actually need!
Come up with my holiday shopping list and budget. Still haven't done this. I have to make a budget for gifts, a budget/plan for decorating the apartment, and a budget/plan for my holiday cookie exchange party. I can't make an actual gift purchasing list until the wishlists start circulating. I'd like to try to be a little more inventive with my gift-giving, but it's such an ordeal in my family I don't know if that'll be able to happen.
