I stayed in last night, watched football until it became obvious Michigan State wasn't going to rally, then went to bed to watch the season 3 finale of Deadwood. I wasn't all that tired when that was over, so I tried to find season 4. When I couldn't find it easily, I decided maybe I am all that tired, so just went to sleep.
Turns out, there is no season 4.
What a way to start the new year. I'm going to look on the bright side, though...
No, there is no bright side. I must just accept it and move on, hoping the year improves.
Along those lines, I've made some New Year's Resolutions:
- Read 25 books - this is ambitious (for me). I don't think I've ever read more than 24 in a year, so this would be a personal best. I'm going to choose my books based on the 2016 Reading Challenge, starting with The Goldfinch, at 771 pages. (Yes, I've already started it, which could be considered cheating, but I have over 600 pages to go, so it counts as "a book that's more than 600 pages".)
- Crafternoon - I've been pinning all sorts of cute ideas onto my Arts & Crafts board on Pinterest. This year, I'm going to actually DO some of them. First up - Smittens! (And if there's any leftover sweater, these cute little hearts.)
- 12 new recipes - I hate to cook, but love to eat. I have a few really good recipes (conveniently posted here under "Recipes"), but need more.
- Save $1,378 - with the 52 Week Money Challenge. I'd actually like to save more, but this will be more fun than direct deposit.
- Wander - with my crazy schedule last year, I didn't have much of a chance to get out of town, so this year I'm hoping to make up for that with trips to the Dane County Farmers Market in Madison, and the NewBo City Market and Czech Village in Cedar Rapids (and more!).
There are others (the usual lose weight, "finish" house, be more social, practice piano).
Whether I keep my resolutions or not, I like this idea...
