- Yesterday, I learned (from y’all and ironically, the John Tesh show during the drive home from work) that the X in “x-mas” is actually OK to use. I still don’t really like it, and I’m sure that 80% of my friends on Facebook who use it on a regular basis don’t really know the history of the use of X for Christ. So, I still really no likey “x-mas”. However, thanks to you guys for (politely) educating me on the subject. 🙂
- That tree skirt that I was planning still hasn’t happened. I blame my cute dog for being extra cuddly lately. No progress has been made, but I do want to finish it for next year.
- I am learning how to crochet slowly, but surely. I can make a chain like it’s nobody’s business, and I’m trying to work on the single crochet. How is it that I can catch onto knitting super quickly, but this crochet thing just blows my mind? Of course, this motivates me more to show those crochet hooks that I can make this work. 🙂
- Christmas is in 3 days…what?! I still have cheesecake, sugar cookies, macarons (hopefully), oreo truffles and biscotti to make. Eep…not to mention, a few more sewing projects for gifts. :
- I just looked at my 101 in 1001 list. I doubt that it will all be done by May 2011 (dang 1001 days flew by!), but I have my mind focused especially on goals 43-50. I know it won’t happen in 5 months, but I’d love to be well on track! I’d also like to work on making goal 75 happen. 🙂
- Remember this desk? Yeah, it’s not done. After fighting a few times with trying to sand the little nooks and crannies down and watching the wood lose its shape in some of the detailing (I’m assuming this desk is a VERY soft wood, unfortunately), I decided that the staining just isn’t in the cards for this piece. 🙁 Since it’s for the craft room, after all, I decided it’s getting painted. Stay tuned for that.
A few things-
1. I also have a 101 in 1001 list, but I only have 45 items on it! I really like how you divided things into categories and came up with items based on that. That might help me come up with my remaining items!
2. I love to crochet, but can’t knit worth a darn! I think whichever one you learn first is always easier!
3. This morning I googled “non-perishable oreo truffles” cuz I made them last year but couldn’t remember if it really was as easy as I was remembering… and your blog came up as one of the first results! I think it was your old food blog though–skinny food by amy? I thought that was cool!
Teale – LOL @ #3! That was my old food blog. 🙂 And funny how different crochet and knitting is…I really want to be able to do both!
T – We’ve been working towards it, but sometimes I forget to recycle a couple of days or so. So, it’s not “done” yet. But seriously, no need to be harsh in your comment. It’s a goal I’m working towards.
Seriously, you need to start recycling. That’s something you can start today and carry it right on through the rest of your life.
T – Seriously, you need to STFU. That’s something you can start today and carry right on through the rest of your life.
Really, you want me to shut up about recycling? I didn’t think my comment was all the harsh considering how easy it is to recycle. Every little bit counts. Wouldn’t you agree? I personally think it’s appalling that people don’t take better care of where we and our children will live. Don’t you worry about it as well?
Anyway… Merry Christmas.
Your attitude (“seriously…”) was harsh. You could have addressed that goal that I have made in a nicer manner. Just realize that snark really will not illicit the best response out of others on a public blog.
And yes, recycling is something I would like to do. This is why it’s a goal of mine.
