November Goals
1. Perfect the Christmas hymns on the piano.
PERFECT? THAT'S SUCH AN AMBIGUOUS WORD. I PLAYED THEM SEVERAL TIMES--AT LEAST THE ONES THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS. I WAS ASKED TO PLAY AT ENRICHMENT AND I STUMBLED THROUGH IT WELL ENOUGH. SO, YES, I DID THIS ONE. SORT OF.
2. Make rolls for Thanksgiving that are actually good and tasty.
CHECK. HAH! I MADE ROLLS. I CAN'T STOP MAKING ROLLS BECAUSE I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT! THESE ONES WERE DECENT. WERE THEY BECKY JEWKES QUALITY? NOT EVEN CLOSE. MY QUEST FOR THE PERFECT ROLL CONTINUES.
3. Make stellar Thanksgiving favors.
CHECK. I THINK THEY'RE STELLAR. YOU?
4. Reach my goal weight.
NO CHECK. STILL NOT THERE. I JUST CAN'T GET THE LAST 5 OFF. I'VE GOTTEN COMPLACENT, AND I'M MAINTAINING BUT THIS GOAL WILL HAVE TO GO TO NEXT MONTH TOO.
5. Finish the alphabet crafts with Cooper.
CHECK. FINALLY!
6. Make Froot Loop necklaces--and eat it!
GOSH. I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS ONE. GUESS I NEED TO PRINT OFF MY GOALS AND ACTUALLY LOOK AT THEM.
7. Give at least one sincere compliment a day.
NOT EVEN CLOSE. WELL, THAT'S SAD. LET'S JUST SAY I DIDN'T KEEP TRACK. I WOULD HOPE I WOULD NATURALLY GIVE A SINCERE COMPLIMENT A DAY.
8. See "New Moon". Only once.
CHECK. MY LAST OUTING WITH MEREDITH. TEAR DROP.
9. Go canoeing with the kids.IT WAS COLD. LAME EXCUSE. THEY DID GO WITH JAKE AND GRAMPA, THOUGH. THAT'S A HALF CHECK.
10. Plan a fun, different, creative date for Jake.
NO. BUT I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD EXCUSE. HE WAS GONE FOR 3 OUT OF THE 4 WEEKS OF NOVEMBER AND THEN WE HAD THANKSGIVING/VISITORS/HIS PARENTS/ETC. WE DIDN'T EVEN GO ON A NON-CREATIVE DATE.

I was telling my Grandmother on Thanksgiving that she makes the best rolls and pies because she has perfected them after making them SO many times over the years. I've only done either once and it was a no go. So, hey, way to be ambitious!
Love your goals every month. :)
tear drop here too! :)
The favors are really cute. I thought about doing those, but decided to opt for the much easier route and do candy in a sugar cone.
I'm impressed you even HAVE goals!! I will have to give you my roll recipe to try. Even I can make them!
