Yup, it’s that time of year again. Nothing maudlin or startling to say except that I wouldn’t be 21 again for anything.
- This year I’ve continued to learn about bread-baking.
- I’ve really broken the habit of eating out – more importantly I’ve gotten into the habit of bringing my lunch (where’s the “old” derrick when I need him for encouragement? Oh right, he’s obsessing about food in general now. Just teasing Derrick – happy 4th blog birthday).
- I’ve learned how to make a pretty darn good mojito. From scratch.
- I’ve learned how to use a chain saw – scary but necessary.
- Got a new sewing machine that’s very fast and way cool to use.
- There are those new kittens, Archie and ‘Rasmus (only 6 mos old and on their way to huge!) and the older cats: reluctant-to-lead Deirdre and “could I have that water on the rocks please?” Gus. Why does a cat decide that ice cubes are good? Catnip dementia setting in? Anyway, hours of entertainment there.
- Planted my first veggies in years, picked lots of blackberries and enjoyed my flower gardens.
- I’ve done more reading. Right now I’m reading Thoreau! Walden!
- My assignment for the weekend is to undo some problem areas in my current quilt project. Figure out the facings for it too. Maybe make some more postcards for FFAC.
- Oh, and enjoy life and those I love and the weekend.
- And to look forward to another great year. And one with my own name attached!
