i am so excited about winter. it's been nonstop activity and travel since the year began, and i'm ready to welcome the next few months of quiet. peace. tranquility. (but that hardly means i'm going to laze around on my bum!)
the plan:
- to read the omnivore's dilemma by michael pollen;
- to perfect one very complicated recipe. not sure what.
- to make a giant quilt out of the kids' old clothes
- to be darned sure that i make a dent on this list
- to teach the kiddos how to sew
- to learn how to play yahtzee and backgammon
- to bake 5 things out of scratch
- to clean and organize my crazy closet
- to get the kids their own library cards
- to fool around with kev's digital SLR, get some practice
(on a slightly somber note: the kids' hamster passed on to the afterlife yesterday. RIP dear little rhino. you were a sweet critter, and we loved you.)
