Goals for Fall

Since I hardly did any of my summer goals, I've decided to limit myself to five Fall goals that I am reasonably certain I can complete. Just feeling the cool air energizes me and I can't wait to tackle this list!

1. Write a 50,000 word novel in November (Yay NaNoWriMo! check out their site: nanowrimo.org).

2. Learn Beethoven's Sonata No. 8 "Pathetique", 2nd Movement (Youtube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klZYv-f9kCE).

3. Design and create my book cover for Mae: Intergalactic Au Pair

4. Knit something for the house - either a rag rug, a basket, cushion covers, or throw.

5. Lose 5 more lbs. (Lost 5 already! Down to 150. Eventual goal is 130-135, but I'm taking it slow)

This is inbetween a wedding next weekend, and learning 20+ pages of music for the Christmas Concert on Dec. 9th, as well as work (37 hrs/wk) and the holidays.

Can I do it?

YES!

Other little goals I'm considering (ok, I couldn't resist):

1. sending in a postcard to Post Secret
2. Writing one of my favorite authors some fan mail
3. Create a costume for NaNoWeen
4. Knit a baby hat for Stu's great-nephew
5. Working on my future D&D campaign
