Mission Accomplished

Goal has been reached: 20 books read this year.
20. The Cat Behavior Answer Book

Next year's goal: minimum of one blog post per week. Will start with this goal in February due to vacation plans.

In other news, good Christmas this year, though busy. We didn't really get to do too much celebrating before Christmas weekend, other than putting up the tree and watching a few movies (less than last year though). Nice Christmas Eve dinner at the in-laws. A few stops on Christmas day, including my mom and the in-laws again for dinner. We were the only ones there for dinner this year, so it was pretty quiet, but nice. Day after brunch at my dad's. Again nice time. Can't believe my cousin is 15 now. Crazy. Took the Monday after (today) off, so we'd have one day to just hang out. Good choice as we got a bunch of snow last night that we had to deal with this morning. Was nice to not have to deal with it at 6AM.

Almost there...

One more to go!

On the vacation front, we've gotten some of the shots and sent out the visa applications. Safari has been booked, just waiting for a confirmation from the company that they got the deposit. Thinking we may wait to rent a car until we're there. Hopefully that will work out.

Attempting to find time to enjoy the holiday season and not work too many extra hours over the next few weeks. Priorities!

Also trying to figure out next year's "resolution." Maybe something to do with writing since this year was reading. Still have a few weeks for that one.
