Weekly Project Update

Below is the current status of my on-going projects.  I haven't been doing very well now that I have been working so much (thanks to my promotion).  We've also been gone a lot which has cut out all of my free time on the weekends.  Next week I won't get much done either since this weekend we will be in Jacksonville for Easter and then next week I have GOT TO DO MY TAXES!!  We have been avoiding them this year and now the deadline is here.  So below, where I say "goal for this week", I really mean "goal for the week after".
