Winter is, of course, about half over – so I’m just now getting around to posting a list of things to do.  Sounds about right.  I can’t bring myself to let the season go by without trying to squeeze every bit of fun I can out of it, though; it’s the curse of a maximizer.  Here’s what I’m thinking for the rest of the winter.  Nothing too unattainable…

• Get in a winter hike or two when the weather is mild enough for the kiddos in their backpacks.
• Whittle down my library stack.
• Drink lots of tea!
• Finish unpacking the bedroom and dining room, and once there are no boxes left in the living spaces, start tackling the basement.
• Spend some time in Barchester – both Trollope’s and Thirkell’s versions.
• Run the Pacers First Down 5K and Combine (preferably trained).
• Finish my 2016 family yearbook and order it when there’s a 50% off sale, then get started on other family yearbooks.
• Plan and book summer 2017 travel.
• Light candles often.
• Take the kids to Wegmans Wonderplace at the American History Museum.

I think that’s a good list!  Plenty on there to keep me busy until the trees burst into bloom and the days warm up for the season.

What are you up to this winter?
