Adding to 'The List'

Just a month or two ago, I compiled the list. Just a handful of self-sustaining, entertaining, reachable goals. Goals are more important now than ever. Sean leaves in two days, and as Saturday morning approaches far quicker than I ever could have dreaded, I find myself coming up with more time-killing, mind-numbing activities.

So for the first time, and undoubtedly not the last, I'm adding to said list.

This is our bookshelf. Well, the largest one we have. My plan, you ask? Obvious as it may be, I'm going to read as many of these books as I can while he's gone.

Maybe a quarter of these are mine, and thus have been read twice or even thrice already. Beyond that, I've read a handful out of Sean's collection. But trust me, there is so much beautiful, classic literature in here that I've yet to feast my eyes upon.

I'm really excited to finish what I've started with our Russian literature. Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Rand, Nobokov, Solzenitsyn, and Pushkin.

I recently reread the entire Harry Potter series, and have a newfound love for these books. I've then since taken requests from friends and family for house scarves (I have about 7 or 8 to make), and this is my first one in progress. Gryffindor, of course. =)

These bad boys are going to be about 6 feet long, so they'll keep me busy for a while. Knitting has become somewhat therapeutic for me, like baking. This, I can do anytime, anywhere.


I'm forcing myself to avoid writing about these next 48 hours and the feelings they'll harbor. I won't write about them until I'm ready, or until I absolutely need it. So, until after Saturday...
