I’m not even sure it’s possible, but I’m hoping that November is even more productive than October!
To-do for this month:
1. Write Christmas lists.
2. Read 3 books, possibly including:
- In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto by Michael Pollan
- Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews
- The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger or My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult
3. Winterize my garden, front flower bed, and both side beds.
4. Find & purchase a soap dish. (This may sound way easy, but it’s really not.)
5. Make mulled wine.
6. Complete my barely started knitting project.
7. Get a group together to go see “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”.
8. Try a new type of wine.
9. Make dish(es)–pie(s), mashed potatoes, etc.–for Thanksgiving dinner!
10. Buy at least two Christmas presents.
11. Pick up manure in arena & haul at least 10 loads of sand into the arena.
12. Ride my horse at least 3 times per week.

My Sister’s Keeper is SO good! Jodi Picoult is just an absolutely amazing writer as it is, but My Sister’s Keeper was absolutely amazing.
