2012 Goals and such.
Categories: Self-referential informationPosted on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 by cce
Once again, it’s the end of January. My birthday was lovely this year – a mellow dinner and a movie (thanks to Violet babysitting!!!) and involving boots of awesomeness. And now, it’s time for goals. I did reasonably well on last year’s goals given the circumstances (where the circumstances involve rather impressive life events like moving, pregnancy, and having a newborn). And by “reasonably well” I mean I got one done completely and thought about the rest. I actually puttered with ComicPress in the Fall but still need to work on really understanding it.
So for this year, I’ll be stealing some of last year’s goals.
- Use 100 stamps again.
- Cook something out of each of my cookbooks with an eye towards streamlining the collection. (Wouldn’t that have been nice before we moved???)
- Write more. Seriously.
- Create more.
- Take 4 courses via iTunes U or other online outlet.
We’ll see how well I do this year.
Dairy was not working for a variety of reasons, so I’ve switched over to almond milk for a bit. Almond milk really isn’t that bad. To me at least. Tenny clearly has a different opinion.

Unsurprisingly, I have a Threadless t-shirt addiction and they’re having a $9 sale…

More baby pics & Investiture & Football

For baby photo fans, I finally uploaded a bunch of photos of Winter. Click the photo to go to the first of the latest uploads.
The last photo in the set is Miss Winter’s debut as a fierce Viking girl. (Also below.) My mother knit the cap for my brother 30-something years ago and her excellentness Alesone produced the wee Viking apron from her stash of scrap linen. She also has a tiny set of medieval mocs that she wore over hand-knit socks to complete the outfit. Unsurprisingly, our child is starting with better garb than most newbies.
The wee Viking photo is from Iron Bog’s Investiture this weekend – which was wonderful! Congratulations to Don Collin and Mistress Marion on their new positions! The event was wonderful and it was great to see folks. Dayboard was super-yummy and the kitchen smelled wonderful as they prepped for feast. Unfortunately, we had to leave before the 2nd Royal court as Miss Winter decided the day was over early. (Actually, she made that decision about when I expected her to make it given the circumstances… we just weren’t expecting there to be a 2nd court later in the day.) Congrats to Davius on his Silver Rapier! I hear our congratulatory kisses were delivered.
So the football season has been reaching its regular crescendo. I only watch football for about 4 weeks a year, mostly in January. I’m just not invested enough to care before the playoffs. This year has involved more football than usual though. Football is an excellent thing to have on in the background when you’re sick all weekend (like last weekend) or having a slow day because grocery shopping took it all out of you (like yesterday). Oh, and the Giants, the Fop’s team, made it to the playoffs, so there was added interest in football around the household.
The Patriots-Ravens game yesterday was more exciting than I’d expected. The Giants-49ers game was also fun… for me. Especially when poor, little Eli Manning got sacked. Repeatedly. The Fop, on the other hand, was rather tense most of the game. But it’s another Patriots-Giants Superbowl coming up. This time, the Pats are going to kick Giant butt. Sorry, dear.
