One of the surprise Christmas gifts hits is this Hungry Hungry Farm Animals game.  The real surprise is how often she beats me.

Anyway, when I wasn’t playing Hungry Hungry Farm Animals, I read some good stuff this week:

+In the spirit of goal setting for the new year, I found Caiti’s 2012 goal assessment helpful in how I want to think about my intentions for 2013.

+An alternative list of the greatest literary heroines for 2012.  I agree with the Cheryl Strayed pick and Bernadette Fox.  Amy from Gone Girl?  Not sure about that one.

+17 lessons learned in 2012.

+I’ve got everything in my pantry to make this granola recipe.

+This tomato tortellini soup is on my agenda.

+I am waiting for the Project Life Seafoam Edition with bated breathe, but in the meantime, I’m working on my title page and the spread for this week.  I really like this title page from Jessica O’Brien from the blog JessOhBee.

How has your first week of 2013 been for you?  Read anything interesting this week?  Are you doing Project Life?

    I read a thought-provoking article last week about how all of the To Do Lists in the world won’t actually help us DO any of the tasks. They can help us get organized but we need to block off time and actually knock the tasks off our list.

    Sometimes I get caught up in thinking about a task so much that it becomes a big, huge deal in my head; by the time I actually do it, it almost always turns out easier than I expected.

    I have looked everywhere for the article since then and I cannot find it, alas, so all I have to share is my summary. :-)
