Morning lovelies. I realize that I am almost a week late in updating my goals from December and revealing those for January, and I hope we can just let it slide this time. January so far has been bitterly cold, cold like us Southerners are not used to, so I hope that everyone is staying warm and toasty, or playing in the snow if you have it. We do not, we only have cold.
Let’s review my goals for December, shall we?
1. Continue to clean the sink nightly and wipe down the counters while I’m there. Done, largely. I say that only because Patrick and I alternate who cleans the kitchen based off who cooked the dinner. On nights where Patrick cooked, I did indeed make a concerted effort to clean the sinks and wipe down the counters. On nights when I cooked, Patrick graciously cleaned the sinks to accommodate my neurosis goal, but his counter wiping was lacking (love you bunches!).
2. Read 1 fiction and 1 non-fiction book. Finish current fiction book and review it here. Well ladies and gents, I finally did finish that fiction book I kept talking about…but I didn’t review it. Here’s the deal, the book is The Monsters of Templeton by Laura Groff. The story is told alternately between present day Willie Upton and her ancestors dating back over 200 years. It’s a great narrative and you should read it. Review done. Whew, I feel better.
3. Make Oreo truffles and Haystacks and take to work. I did this on the first day in our new office, my huge platter lasted about 3 days. Success.
4. Find a good cause for a end of year donation. Something that makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Patrick and I made a donation to Fighting Epilepsy Together, a foundation that raises money for Seizure Alert dogs for people with severe epilepsy. Helping people with dogs, count us in!
5. Find fabric/art for large frame we bought this weekend. Hang it. Done! We got a pretty yard of fabric from a store right down the road from me. I realize now that this update is pretty worthless without pictures. Oops.
6. Organize the office to a point that is useable. Half credit. The office is somewhat more organized, but this has been one heck of a process. It is technically useable, but no where near pretty.
7. Delight in our little family’s first Christmas together. Super done! Patrick and I had the best time at Christmas. We were home with my family, and it was wonderful. He also did exceptionally well on the gift giving this year.
So what is new for this new month of 2010? I’m so glad you asked…
