How did I do?

Hard to believe that it has been almost a year since my last blog entry.  I do spend much more time at Facebook, putting up pictures and blurbs, rather than in Blogger telling stories.

What I said I wanted to do:

Finish more projects than I start (especially the dresser project that was started years ago and is close to done)

Well, I didn't finish MUCH, but I did make progress on things, didn't start too many things, AND finished the dresser!!

Do more cooking and baking.

Yes, I do more cooking and baking.  That slacked off some over the summer, but I am back into it more.

Have a deck built (or at least the part out my bedroom door).

Nope!  Maybe this fall I can have the part outside the bedroom door going.

Continue to de-clutter and make my house more organized.

A work in progress.  I have made more strides and have gotten a little bit better at keeping things organized and decluttered.  A long way to go, but I am pleased and will continue.

Go camping once or twice.

Went camping once (ugh, disaster because of rain).

Go kayaking once or twice.

Went kayaking once (nice trip but felt a little rushed by JP).

Go skiing once or twice.

Nope.  However, I expect to get out once or twice THIS winter.

So now this year's list.

• Finish the bed (which is probably more than 2/3rds done).
• Finish the butterfly restoration (at least all the parts except the swing out "wings").
• Make visible progress on the Goosneck arm chair restoration.
• Get the teardrop trailer built and weather tight for at least 1 trip (may not be complete, but hopwefully, useable).
• More decluttering.  Copy VHS tapes to DVDs,  Cassettes to MP3. Would like to digitize pictures in albums.  Would REALLY love to digitize old magazines.
• Clean out the garage.

• ?

Yep, lots to do!

Happy 2013 everyone!
