12 for 2012
Dec. 2nd, 2012 11:46 pmLook, I am alive.
As 2011 ended last year, I felt down, I felt like I had not done anything creative or interesting outside of being a mother, which when it comes right down to it, is sometimes tedious and not all that creative. So I decided in 2012 I was going to do a series of 12s for 2012. Originally, I wanted a total of 144 (12 for 12) but that didn't happen... So as it is the 12th month and I am running out of time...
My lists:
Lose 12lbs (Result: FAIL. There is no way I am going to lose 12 lbs by the end of the month. Heck, at this point I would be pleased to lose 1. >>; )
Cooking: 12 new recipes, adding chocolate chips to a muffin recipe I've made many times before does not count, trying a brand new brownie recipe does, since there are no guarantees it will be tasty.
1) Homemade Macaroni and Cheese
2) Feta, pumpkin and phyllo dough triangles (so hard, but so delicious)
3) Graham Crackers (unlikely to do again ~.~ )
4) The Eggplant w/tomato sauce dish I love
5) The Winter Squash with Dill Sour Cream from House Beautiful I love
6) Cinnamon Rolls
7) Challah (I've tried it before but it always came out sort of meh, until this recipe!)
8) Pasta with Garlicky Broccoli Rabe (in general I have come to love Smitten Kitchen!
9) Tempeh with Tassajarah Honey Mustard sauce
10) Cake pops!
(I've probably made 2 other things but just in case I will leave myself with two more to complete my 12)
Creativity!
1) Drew picture for Snupin February Fest
2) Drew picture for Snupin letter/postcard exchange
3) Wrote Snupin for Snupin Santa. (I'm super nervous about this as I don't feel as strongly connected to Snupin as I do to say Geass, where I have very set views on the characters and their characterization. I'm so much more open with Remus and Severus.)
(Doubt I will be getting in the remaining 9 before the close of the month.)
Books! (after realizing that other than on-line I just don't read anymore, and OK not including children's books... I realized I needed to read real books, so that toddler breath can see that Moms and Dads read books for fun!)
1-10) Re-read all ten books of the Belgariad and Mallorean
11-13) First 3 Nightrunner books by Lynn Flewelling
14) Bet Me by Jennifer Cruise ♥
15) Mr. Darcy's Diary by Amanda Grance (sort of meh, will see if my Mom wants it or it is getting swapped/donated.)
16) Issac's Storm by Erik Larson (Loved Thunderstruck, did not get into Devil in the White City, am looking forward to his Lusitania book. Prophetic his concern with the NYC subway system flooding in a hurricane, though fortunately the subway was closed so no loss of life there.)
Next book, depending on what I find... GOAL COMPLETE!
Movies
1)Thor
2) Avengers
3) Mulan more times than I can count
4) Aladdin at least 2 times
5) Beauty and the Beast see Mulan

Sales
1) Yo SD Mimi
2) LaTi Yellow LPP Miel
3) LaTi Yellow SP LPP Momo
4) Blue Fairy Somang
5) The Pukifee
(Not the things I was hoping to sell, I was hoping at least 12 doujinshi but there is a possibility I could get this one!)
