Well, I can't say I got the whole list done. I got a lot done but life gets in the way. Enough excuses now for the update:
1. I wrote my exam for the course I took. I answered all the questions. Now I wait and see what my mark turns out to be....and I may not know until January.
2. I painted my kitchen....It looks great.
3. I have put up about 1/2 of my holiday decorations. Having a very small apartment means that everything takes a little longer to find a place for, to put away what was there and to make sure everything is put back in storage.
4. I have not wrapped any more gifts than I had wrapped when the list started. I have since purchased more so now I am even further behind. This task has a deadline so it will be done by the 25th.
5. Organizing my apartment seems to be the never ending chore and will probably be on this list unti the end of time. If it ever comes off the list I will be very excited.
6. The baking has begun. I hit a couple bumps at the beginning. I didn't take a good inventory of the ingredients I had so I had to make the last minute trip out for a couple things. I did find out that you can make gingerbread cookies without the vanilla it calls for and you can't even tell in the taste. I also had never baked in my micro size kitchen so I had to find the rhythm and right set up. I added my little bistro table by the window and that gave me enough space for extra ingredients and tools.
7. I still haven't located the papers I was looking for or organized a single thing for taxes. This will have to stay on the list. No one really believed I would have taxes organized already, did they?
8. The apartment is definitely coming along but in the previous #3 and #5 we will see that one step forward seems to make one step back so I am not really getting ahead....but it is livable so for now I will be grateful.
9. I got help and the stereo is set up to work with my blackberry and my laptop so now I can watch Breakfast Television on my laptop in surround sound.
10. I got my secret sister gift although the pointsettia was late arriving so she didn't get that one. I gave it to my mom for her secret sister.....surprise!
I did not even start on #7 but 9 out of 10 is pretty good for a procrastinator. A good experiment and a great outcome.
