Last night was lovely. A group of dear friends went with Stu and me to Delaney's to celebrate Morgan's would-be 21st. It was perfect. Thanks to all of you who were there, it means so much to me.
Today is a blues-y, melancholy sort of day, but as someone said once on Dr. Who, "sad is happy for deep people." (Sally Sparrow, 'Blink') The song for today is Lost! by Coldplay.
I've been thinking about what I want to do in December. Besides my work schedule, after the first week of December, choir practice is over so I won't have to stress about that.
I want to read plays again. Sing carols. Cook yummy treats. Spend an entire night crafting.
So.
Goals for December:
1. Have a Pride & Prejudice day (watch the 5 1/2 hr. A&E version)
2. Read a play aloud (Shakespeare or Oscar Wilde or both!)
3. Spend time working on my dollhouse(s)
4. Write a short story to submit to the Highlights contest
5. Bake something delicious (and make my traditional holiday treats)
6. Go caroling
7. Go sledding
Hopefully some of these are possible before Christmas Break - particularly the first two.
Next week is Thanksgiving - we're going down to spend a 4-day weekend with Stu's parents, which will be a much-needed break. I'm going to finish my NaNo novel and read and hopefully craft something, either knitting or collage or dollhouse related.
I'm looking forward to it.
I've always wanted to do the Apostles caroling but Craig and I are always out of town for it. Maybe I can just do a caroling with some friends.
ReplyDeleteAlso, let me know when you do the P&P marathon. I will join you. :-D
I adore Christmas music so I hope this year I get to participate in the Christmas Ball and the caroling and whatever other Christmas activities we have!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I will definitely let you know when the P&P marathon is. :) 'Twill be such fun!
