November Wrap Up

November Goals: Wrap Up

• Read 5+ books
• "Ten Things I Love About You" Julia Quinn 
• "Joust" Mercedes Lackey
• "Flesh & Bone" Jonathan Maberry
• "Stay" Deb Caletti
• "Under My Hat: Tales from the Cauldron" ed. Jonathan Strahan
• Work on Happily Ever After Quilt  Not enough, but even baby steps are worth celebrating right now
• Finalize design for 2012 cross stitch portrait I think I figured out what I'm going to do. 
• Finish Christmas shopping - I have one more person to shop for, but I'm very close. 
• Wrap all the Christmas gifts
• Make more bags if needed 
• Okay, so I may need one more wrapping for a larger than expected book. But I think I may go with paper for that instead. 
• Try a new-to-me restaurant - Hmm... I could have sworn this happened, but if it did, it didn't leave much of an impression. I did visit a restaurant I haven't eaten at in over 20 years. That almost counts. 
• Start assembling an all black orchestra outfit for Christmas concert 
• Practice my orchestra music every Saturday morning. Turns out I won't be in the Christmas concert this year. So I don't need to practice or find a black outfit. I'm disappointed not to participate, but not participating means avoiding some serious drive time - and with the bad car news I just got, that's probably for the better.
