Good things this week

Some great things have been happening this holiday week:

• I finished reading my 88th book for the year.
• I sent an article about Costa Rica to Matador Travel (online site, in beta right now).
• I finished reading “Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity” (by David Allen) and started implementing it in earnest this time I mean it!
• I established inboxes for John and myself at the breakfast table.
• I got rid of a lot of the paper piles from my office.
• I got some work done for the new project
• I did five pet-sitting jobs
• I wrote my thank you cards from Christmas.
• I ordered my sister and niece’s birthday presents from Amazon.com
• I drank a lot of hot spiced cider
• I wrote my next Toastmasters speech
• I mentally prepared myself for Janowrimo (which starts in 3 1/2 hours!)
• I talked to my father for a good half hour. And scored a pair of home-made wool mittens in the process.

  Also: Something that made me smile today: Worst Vlogs of 2006. Why smile? Well, for one thing: I’m not on the list.
