Took the knife skills class tonight I'd been meaning to try for, oh, over a year. It was totally worth the price, and I got a nice new paring knife out of the deal. I realized that I didn't have as poor knife skills as I thought, but also learned some good techniques and it was a confidence booster to just do it, on my own, and do well. Looking forward to that next onion I have to dice!

The rest of the list is moving ahead pretty well, although it's not going to be a 100% success - I wasn't able to commit to making my Christmas gifts this year - both time, energy, and inspiration were lacking. But it's ok, I didn't mean to force myself to do things I just couldn't handle. And there are a lot of other activities on the list I am much more excited about. Sledding on Art Hill for one...maybe soon! Snow is in the forecast. Finally!
