22. Handcraft 2+ items as Christmas gifts each year (3/6)

Baby stuff for a friend! Yay! Mailing it out today, too!

Got the kid's name. Now to buy for him.


Food and Health
40. Try a new recipe and/or food every month (14/143)

I tried some new food at the Chinese place at the end of last month. It was some kind of shrimp with veggies in a cream sauce. Not bad, but not going to be something I get regularly.

This month, I had blueberry pancakes with cream cheese. That was different... and delicious!


Friends

48. Create/send 5 care packages for friends (0/5)

Buying the last item, sending it out today.


I wish I could elaborate more, but the dog is annoying the piss out of me.

Do Unto Others
22. Handcraft 2+ items as Christmas gifts each year (2/6)

I'm working on a scarf that will hopefully be an early gift.


Friends
46. Send each close friend a handcrafted item (2/5)

I'm thinking of knitting instead of crocheting the scarves I promised Connie and Catie.


Reading
80. Go to the library and select 5 random books I normally wouldn’t read and complete them (0/5)

Picked one up today. It's some kind of medical romance/drama thing concerning the ethics of whether teens should marry if the girlfriend gets pregnant. Random enough, and I already think it's going to suck.


Shits & Giggles
91. Read a trashy romance novel all the way through

Today I picked up "Savage Thunder." It was the trashiest, cheesiest romance novel I could find on the shelf. It's about a half-Indian guy and a redheaded English duchess.

95. Make and sell 5 items on Etsy (0/5)

I've been reading all the sales policies and stuff on Etsy. I'm by no means an expert yet, but I know more than I did. Still learning, still planning. :-)

46. Send each close friend a handcrafted item (2/5)

Despite our differences, I am a Janne of my word, therefore I am working on the handcrafted goods for a certain person. I just want to get it out of the way so I don't have to think about it. I'm making a scarf (crochet) and some washcloths (knit and crochet).

I still don't know about this one. It's without a doubt the hardest goal on my list, and with recent events, I don't know if it will ever be possible. I don't know. We'll see.
