I couldn’t have worded this goal better myself =) I wouldn’t be surprised if I were to find my picture tacked up on my local library’s “do not lend” wall of shame. Getting a new card is on my to-do list for July.

i dreamt i was a baker
4 years ago
And then I woke up.
My first - and last - attempt to bake bread was when I was twelve. Overcome by the new and exciting urge to knead dough and play with packets of yeast, I happily worked away in the kitchen for hours only to produce some ghastly loaves that even the cats wouldn’t nibble on.
I think this will be a fun learning project for the summer: I’m older, more patient, and (somewhat) better at following directions. The worst that could happen is that I amass a collection of organic doorstops over the next few months. I wonder if there is a market for that…
The screen has been dark for a month now...

I stopped watching during Memorial Day weekend with the goal of no t.v. for the summer and it has been surprisingly easy to get used to. The set is turned on for my thrice-weekly movie rentals and nothing else. (Okay, so there was a low moment at 3am a few weeks ago when I thought ‘hey, I’ll just tune into CNN for a minute since I can’t sleep anyway’. I promptly turned it off due to lack of interest).
My primary motivation was to find other, more active things to do with my time. As winterinjuly predicted, my time spent tooling around the internet has skyrocketed instead. I suspect my next goal should be something along the lines of “socializing with people IRL”.
