Winter Break: A Recap
The new semester begins today. Let's review my goals for the winter break:
- Blog every day, even if I don't have anything to say. (Well! We know that didn't happen.)
- Read a lot, including a big, fat classic novel and something by Stephen King. (I read four books, including King's Pet Sematary, but I didn't read a big, fat classic novel. I'm taking 19th Century American Literature this semester so that should more than compensate.)
- Successfully cook a dinner that is not microwavable or stored in a can. (Actually, no, I didn't. I did, however, start using the oven to cook the microwavable meals I eat because - somehow - that makes me feel better. And more accomplished. "A" for effort!)
- ...And if that goes well, bake something from scratch. (Ha!)
- Discover some crevice of X-Files fandom I have not yet explored. (Yes, I managed to complete this oh-so haughty task.)
Those all sound great, especially the one about cooking from scratch! I'd love to see how that one goes...you probably have no idea how good of a cook you really could be.

I love that the most successful goal was the one relating to X-Files! Everything else comes in second. Your priorities are good! :)

Your blog reminded me of a funny Dilbert cartoon my sister-in-law had on her refrigerator for a while. I don't remember exactly how it went but it went something like this: Dogbert is walking along, thinking to himself: "I think I'll write a book." Next panel he is saying, "Maybe I'll read a book instead," and it keeps going along from reading a book to reading the TV Guide to just sitting on the couch with the remote and flipping through the channels to see what's on. Guess you had to be there!
