Well, my Christmas break is sadly over. I kind of bummed around, so I didn't get quite as much accomplished as I hoped. I did, however, try out three new recipes: Tabasco pickles, gingerbread muffins, and apple pocket pies. The pies were my favorite and were helped along greatly by some William Sonoma products; they were too cute for me to eat, so I sent them off to the owners of my horse barn for a merry horsey Christmas. I think the gift basket replaces Christmas cards, so that takes care of Goal #59. And, if you're getting technical, there was a card amidst the pile of pocket pies.
I only made one bow for Christmas before realizing that I needed a TON more red and green scraps if I was going to make any more... Unfortunately, all the Christmas ads ended up in the garbage, and that one lone bow was all that got made. But hey, it was cute.
I have however been killing this FreeRice goal. In the past month, I've earned about 48,000 grains, which (when combined with the 3,000 grains I'd earned beforehand) puts me over halfway to my goal of 50,000 grains donated.
One of my resolutions for 2010 is to cross off 50 more goals this year. Hmmm. We shall see.
By the way, in case you were wondering, today is Day 185.
