April Wrap Up

April is over? Whoops.

• Read 5+ books
• "Huge" Sasha Paley
• "The Agency: The Body at the Tower" Y.S. Lee
• "Unnatural Issue" Mercedes Lackey
• "How They Met, and Other Stories" David Levithan
• "My Heart Stood Still" Lynn Kurland
• "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" Ransom Riggs
• "A Dance Through Time" Lynn Kurland
• "Life on Mars: Tales from the New Frontier" edited by Jonathan Strahan
• "A Practical Wedding" Meg Keene
• Pinterest Challenge: Parmesan Chicken Crescents  
• Delete 5 Google Reader subscriptions - Yes! I think final numbers were 38 deleted, 5 added. 
• Paper towel free month 
• Photo a day challenge - I didn't manage to complete this. 
• Clutter control: office - Not even close. 
• List White car for sale - Found another issue we need to fix first
• Welcome Baby C Package
• start on winter weight quilt? - Maybe. I thought I'd use my April Showers/May Flowers disappearing nine patch, but I might be too attached to it to give it away. 
• fasteners for the bibs - I have all the pieces, but actually doing it hasn't been a priority. 
• burp cloths/cloth wipes
• hooded towel - YES! I managed to finish this in the last few minutes of April. 
• pick books - I have a list of books I'm looking for (or will order from Amazon). Okay, so the list is longer than I'll actually use - I'll probably have to edit it down to only three or four. 
• DIY swiffer style floor wipe - Nope
• Make a Crayon roll - No
• Hang Thread Shelf 
• Shelf or mantle over love seat - I shopped for it. Does that count? No? 
• Sew an article of clothing - I cut the fabric, but that was as far as I got. 
• Cut Pansy Patch pieces - This didn't happen either. 
• Trip - After rescheduling twice in 24 hours, this is postponed until sometime in May. Unless May goes the same way April did. In which case I'm going to scream. 
• Take donations to Goodwill - Nope. 
• Go for a bike ride once a week - Wow, I didn't even remember this was something I wanted to do. Not that I'd have managed it this month anyway... I was either too sick or too busy working. 
• Save $50 toward summer trips - Hey! I actually managed to do this. Maybe that'll make May and June a little easier than April was. I hope so anyway. 
• Try a new restaurant - Whoops, this was another goal I forgot about, but we actually wound up trying a couple new places since work took us to some new places this month. 

I think I read more than anything. What can I say, when things get difficult I escape into books.

Some of the blame goes to being sick for a week. Some of it goes to stress. I spent too much of this month working, or sleeping, and really accomplished very little else. I'm working on being alive again, but of course two plus weeks of doing very little means that's quite a mountain to climb.
