January Goals Wrap Up

January Goals

Make serious progress on the Happily Ever After Quilt I think I'm done quilting it - though I'm debating adding some additional details around some of the stars.  

• Read 5+ books
• "The Casual Vacancy" J. K. Rowling
• "Squashed" Joan Bauer
• "Below Stairs" Margaret Powell
• "As Texas Goes..." Gail Collins
• "Monster" David Zeltserman
• "Elemental Magic" Ed. Mercedes Lackey
• "The Next Best Thing" Jennifer Weiner
• "Velvet" Mary Hooper
• "Shift" Em Bailey
• Try a new recipe  Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken 
• Begin planning 3 upcoming Welcome Baby Packages to be ready by summer
• Be down to one car (hopefully new to us) by Feb. - Working on it, but didn't happen yet... 

And, if I get a chance, I'm really feeling the need to spend some time cleaning, sorting, and organizing the house. I can't tell you how many bags of trash we took out, or how many items are stacked in a give-away pile at the moment, but we did make some serious progress in the living room/kitchen areas. I'd still like to bring a little more of that kind of energy to the bedroom and office, but it's a start.
