Anyway, how am I doing with it?
My 5 year old can knit.  Garter stitch, but she is pretty good and she will be a knitter.
I have bookmarked a recipe for pain au chocolat.  So that is something.
I am going snowshoeing for the first time this Friday.  Thanks to my fellow Austrian.  
Graphic design.  I taught myself how to make a blog button, the one for the swap.  I think I could even make a banner.  That might be enough for now.
I think we know for certain what the #2 kid is allergic to for right now.  So far this winter his skin is not like red sandpaper, so that is something.
I think whole wheat bread love it coming off the list.  I have tried.  Really I have.  But the only whole wheat bread I will eat is so packed full of sugar and other stuff it hardly makes it worth it.  I blame my fs upbringing for my ability to only eat white bread.  And my milk issues.  Try being forced to drink powdered milk in Africa as a child and see how you turn out.
Thanks to my high school friend, Elliott, I have some nice new piano books.  I am playing everyday.
Train a guide dog - check.  The guide dog is doing really well.  She will probably leave us before the summer.  She is a super dog and will make some local and their family very very happy and hopefully make their life easier.  We will miss her, but if we get Africa next - we ARE getting a dog.  A labrador.  The husband is unaware as of yet.
I am working on the quilts and have made a few more pairs of socks.  
So it is all coming along.
