1. Singing a fun piece from the cantata for the special music during the service. I'm firmly in the camp that [almost] any song can be improved by being sped up, so I tend to approve of quick-tempo songs. This was definitely one such.
2. Lunch (at Whataburger!) with the parents, Bro. No. 1 &
ladylilac12, and another friend from church.
3. Talking to Bro. No. 2 on the phone. It was a good conversation. I'm so excited for when he and H. arrive in town on the 26th!
4. Finishing one part of H's presents. I'm not sure yet if this is for her birthday (the 23rd) or for Christmas.
5. Discovering that I think I really LIKE embroidery. I had a blast doing the embroidery on Taylor's mitts, and then I just did my initials on something else. My initials! In backstitch! That's all! But it was SO FUN. Like, actively fun. Moreso than knitting or crochet, or even regular handstitching. I moderately enjoy non-fiddly handsewing, but it doesn't give me the "This is fun!" rush I've gotten from the embroidery. As a result, the 18th Century Embroidery Techniques book is on my wishlist. :)
