2006 December Goals

28 November 2006 Comments Off

I can’t believe it is almost December already! Where did this year go?! Anyway, given that the first of the month is quickly approaching that can only mean one thing… it’s goal time!

As a reminder my November goals were to:

  1. DONE! Start, finish, and mail my Stocking Stuffer Exchange Piece. (Post date December 1) – Will be “Yes” as soon as I pop it in the mail. :)
  2. Start the final round of the Group 4 RR. (Post date December 15) – Yep! Finished it and mailed it back to Christine too!
  3. Start my Winter Quaker Exchange Piece. (Post date January 10) – Nope, but I have the pattern picked out.
  4. Start the “Baby’s 1st Christmas Ornament” from The Victoria Sampler for my nephew. – Yep!
  5. Participate in the Robin’s Nest November Stitch-A-Thon. – Yep!
  6. Stitch for an hour a day. No, but the goal got my butt in gear and I stitched a lot more than I had been.

For December I plan to:

  1. Have the “Baby’s 1st Christmas Ornament” from The Victoria Sampler for my nephew stitched and finished by December 15.
  2. Start and finish(?) my Winter Quaker Exchange Piece. (Post date January 10)
  3. Participate in the Robin’s Nest December Stitch-A-Thon.
  4. Continue with the Robin’s Nest Ornie SAL
  5. Start a new round of my rotation.
  6. Finish “Home of a Needleworker” by the end of the year.
  7. Stitch for an hour a day.

I have considered myself single since my plane left Munich nearly three months ago. In some ways I feel like I should be sadder about the fact that I don’t miss A., but because I haven’t found myself regretting the decision I made, I know I made the right choice.

And I don’t know if I should or not, but I recently realized that I am beginning to think about seeing someone new and I don’t feel guilty about it. I don’t have a particular person in mind, rather that if-that-cute-guy-up-the-block-just-so-happened-to-ask-me-out-I-would-
think-about-it kind of thinking.

Unfortunately, this type of thinking also has me thinking about other consequences possibilities and I just don’t know whether or I want to think of them.

It is sort of weird to write this, but I have never really been one to “date.” Somehow I always seem to see the people that I “date” for an extended period of time. While this in and of itself doesn’t bother me, what does bother me is this fact plus my current geographical location.

Despite the fact that I actually haven’t minded staying in my hometown temporarily, I have no desire whatsoever to stay here any longer than necessary. I am not sure which I would hate more; to just get involved with someone and then leave or to be offered a great job somewhere and then be asked to stay.

And though I totally lack a social life at the moment and I’m desperate to interact with people my approximate age, no connections are probably better given my current situation. I need to reestablish myself as a single professional woman.

Perhaps what I need is a one night stand… ;)
