Reading: We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves and Outlander. I don't remember who recommended the former; I've been reading the latter for months… and that will continue.
Knitting: I just finished an Entrelac Scarf (gift) and a quick hat (possible gift); will be starting another hat (gift) to pair with one I finished a while back (you guessed it, a gift!)!
Dreading: The end of year is nigh.
Humming… along with every Christmas song I hear.
Drinking: Gin & Tonic… love The Botanist right now, but also the more local Death's Door Gin and Door County Distillery's Lighthouse Gin. I used to drink gin & sour back in the day (with a twist of lemon) but, until last year, when Katie brought home some lovely Elderflower Edinburgh Gin, it hadn't passed my lips in years. So good.
Wearing: Uncomfortable jeans. There's change in the wind!!
Organizing: My workroom! Out with the old, in with the new!
Celebrating: Yes, I am.
Itching: For some time off.
Looking forward to: All three girls at my house tomorrow night for some cookie decorating! (I've one last party to attend, first.)
Needing to (and also Dreading): Go back to Macy's tonight so they can remove one of those security thingies from a sweater I purchased on Saturday. Grrr.
Thinking about… and beginning to plan: A Hawaiian vacation!

I hear you on the jeans but I went to the gym today. Hooray! And I have We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves on my “to read” list – it’s a long one, eh? Not as long as Outlander, though!
oh my goodness – I have Death’s Door and LOVE it (thanks to my Katie who taught me all about gin!)…but never realized it was from Wisconsin. Thank you for the PSA! and woot! for a Hawaiian vacation … in 2015?
Yup know all about the tight jeans this month…er, season. It’s handy to have a new year rolling around so soon to start or resume new habits.
A Hawaiian vacation! As you do with every place you go I’ll be itching to follow in your footsteps. Your holiday sounds lovely!
I hate it when they forget to remove the stupid plastic security tags!!! Hate it!!! (And it seems to happen all the time. . . doesn’t that defeat the purpose???)
Hawaii. Oh.So.Lovely. It really is paradise, and you will love it!
So many good things on that list Vicki! Oh to have your girls over and doing fun holiday things…the best.
All good things. I hadn’t heard of the first book, I’ll add it to my list (the reading list I have been avoiding to get things done – it’s worked)I have read all the Outlander and re-watched the meagre few episodes of the series they have doled out so far…
Have a great time with your girls and the planning for the new year!
