If this week is any indication of how 2012 will go than this will be the year for productivity. Though my resolutions are slow in getting started, this was definitely a week to get things accomplished. I started the first of my 12 books for 2012, "Friday Night Knitting Club" and in the process signed the girls up for the winter reading program, so everyone has been logging lots of reading time around our house. As for my 365 miles, I'm down to 361. Though I only got 4 miles in this week, (oopsies, 3 behind already) it's a good start considering that Sunday and Monday I spent the day painting and didn't have time to run, and Tuesday I opted to go with a friend to her gym for a yoga class and missed running again. I have, however, had more than enough of an upper body workout by painting ceilings in the basement.
The theme of this week has been...sand, fill, prime...repeat. We have put some major hours into the basement this week and things are starting to take shape. The late nights are starting to take a toll, but I can almost taste the end of this huge project. (Perhaps it's just all the paint in my mouth). As for filling my happy bucket, when I wasn't painting, I spent time this week calling for donations for our church's annual fundraiser and the people in the community have been so kind...and giving. It has been fun to see the community from a different perspective.
In the kitchen, nothing too special, but no repeated recipes. This week...parmesan tilapia, orange chicken, spaghetti, bbq roasted chicken, and chili. I'm trying the orange chicken recipe for the first time as it's a crock pot recipe. I'm skeptical on it's deliciousness to say the least.
All-in-all, week one of the resolutions was nothing stellar, but it's a process. If nothing else, I'm learning patience.
