Books to Read Before 2011 and Winter Activities

As my semester draws to a close, I must begin making reading lists. Why? Because I love to! So far it’s not a huge list but this is what I’ve got. I’ve already started on a few (LOTR and Matilda). This list may expand if I end up reading faster than I think. I will have lots of holiday activities planned as well as starting a workout regime. I will probably also be applying for jobs just to see what’s out there (I’m still very hopeful about staying on at the MET).

Movie wise, I plan on seeing The Dawn Treader (Chronicles of Narnia), maybe Yogi Bear with my nieces. Joshua is going to start listening/reading to Harry Potter so that in July we’re able to share that experience.

This weekend is shaping up to be a really great one. On Friday, Joshua’s art starts being displayed in Fountain Square. I’m really looking forward to seeing his and Datruce’s pieces. On Saturday we’re doing different things around Indy, buying a Christmas tree and decorating it. That of course means hot chocolate and Christmas music! I love the Christmas season!
