Always have something to look forward to

This goal really helped!! I’ve got a whole lot going for me now, and I’m ready to check this off as complete, and a regular habit.

I got the position at KSV!! How exciting!! I don’t start until 2/18, so I’m going to be working at Bolton until then. And I’m looking forward to both!

Whew, made it through the holidays!!
Looking forward to…
-baking the cookies I got
-working on my crazy 2×1000 puzzles
-finally purchasing my ski boots
-using my new blender
-lots and lots of skiing
-fleece pants tonight

NOVEMBER, hoo-rah!

-returning staff mting/hike Saturday at Bolton (possibly crush will be there?)
-bought my Warren Miller film ticket last night!
-bought Amy’s and my Hot Buttered Rum tickets last night, they’re coming back to Burlington Dec 1!!
-shopping for new ski booooots!!
-maybe hosting a paw-jama party this weekend
-taking specific action tonight on my #1 goal

I’m happily getting people to join me in my goal to Put your presents where your politics are!! This is the third year I’ve made it my goal to only give holiday gifts that are either local, fair trade, or home-made! It’s so much fun, and I feel so much better giving consumable and/or actually useful gifts!

My mom is coming to the Burly Bur!! And she’s actually staying over, instead of just a daytrip. She kept trying to find an event or something to incorporate with a visit, and finally I told her – what I LOVE about Burlington is just BEING here, drinking coffee and people-watching, window-shopping on Church St, sitting on my porch, working in my garden, riding the bike path. So that’s what we’re doing! We’ll probably pick up tulip bulbs, depending on the weather we may or may not plant them. Other than that, no plans! I love it!

yummmm, weekend!

-My folks visiting soon
-Paw-jama party next weekend
-Flannel sheets soon
-time with Johan
