A few posts ago, I gave my top ten things I was looking forward to in the month of December. Now the month's half over and Christmas is just around the corner, I thought reflect a bit the experiences.
The Wild game turned out to be a mixed bag. On one hand, it was cool to watch a live game for the first time with Angie at X, however, the game itself was big flop. The Wild continued to struggle, providing neither goals, effort or entertainment. If they continue down this road they will miss the playoffs (again) and I will continue to lose interest.
Going skating with Angie for the first time
Still a work in-progress, we've had too much damn snow to think about ice.
Boy Meets World Season 4 (finally!) being released on DVD
While it wasn't the best season in the series, it was fantastic to finally get past season three and enjoy the budding relationship of Cory and Topanga, in their senior year of high school.
Summit beer dinner at Axel's Bonfire
Holy crap was that a lot of food and lot of beer. Six courses paired with six different Summit brews was enough to send us into an incoherent state. When I finally came to the next morning I thought two things; souvenir glass pretty cool, Tuesday night beer dinner a little rough.
Seeing The 39 Steps at the Guthrie Theater
Having just watched the Alfred Hitchcock film, we were both quite versed on the story and characters before we sat down in the theater. The play follows the plot closely, but takes a much more light-hearted approach, offering more laughs and much more silliness.
Celebrating Xmas, dinner and exchanging gifts
Xmas shopping is all done, just have to make it through the next four days of work!
Decorating the tree and house for Xmas
We found a great tree right down the road and it looks great. There's nothing quite like coming in from the cold to the warm glow of a xmas tree.
Making more lefse/eating more lefse
As a special addition to the Xmas lefse we'll be making, I picked up some lingonberry preserves today at Ikea. What more can you say about lefse? It rules.
Reading "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest"
Only about 200 pages in so far, just haven't been in a reading mood lately.
Going cross-country skiing and/or sledding
You'd think with all this snow... but I don't even own a sled. Skiing always seems like a good idea until the temps drop below zero. Anyway, another work in progress.
