Thank you so much for your sweet and fun responses to my New Year’s Whimsolutions. So far things are going pretty well.

On New Year’s Eve, I managed #1 – wear false eyelashes.

On New Year’s Day, I hit #3 – play the Wii U – as well as #4 – watch some hockey:

Go Red Wings!

The Red Wings lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Winter Classic, but I had fun watching the game, and I kept up reasonably well. The rhythm is so very different from that of baseball, but it was fun to try to keep up with it.

I’ve also been keeping up pretty well with #5 – paint my nails – and #6 – play music:

And I got on #7 – read more fiction – right away, getting completely absorbed in 11/22/63 (by Stephen King).

knitting and reading while traveling

It was such a good book!

I haven’t gotten started on #2 – learn to speak elvish – yet, but I did watch Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers with my family during the snowstorm a few days ago.

At any rate, eight days in, I’d have to say there’s been a fair amount of whimsy.

There’s also been a wee bit of spinning and knitting. More on that soon!
