Things I Want to Accomplish Before the End of the Year:
^Finish the Book of Mormon
^Clean out my "craft" room (aka pile of junk room at the moment) & set up sewing maching & craft supplies
^Make it through the Christmas season without thinking about material things
^Give the gift of service to someone who truly needs it
^Make 10 more pages of my aforementioned monster project
^Apply for at least one scholarship
^Lose 5 pounds (we'll see...)
^Meet the man of my dreams (just cuz it's on the list doesn't mean I expect it to happen, but hey I can dream)
I'm sure with the combination of this post & the last one you know way more about me than you ever wanted to know, but with Thanksgiving & the Holidays coming up I thought it was time for a little reflection.
