Here is my Christmas list from this year. In some ways it was the best Christmas I ever had - flying solo in NYC.
1 adorable Christmas tree decorated with the myriad of cards I received
1 chicken that I lovingly referred to as a "petite turkey" and then roasted and ate
2 tickets to the Tallis Scholars concert with the amazing T.H.
2 tickets to the Handel's Messiah Sing In at Avery Fisher (also with the amazing T.H)
2 tickets to Alvin Ailey with the lovely S.L.
0 private students (!!!!)
4 Church services, one which featured the wonderful talents of my NYSMF girls, Jenny Kim and Kathryn Rudolph, both of whom were shocked by my organ prowess.
4 novels, including Incident Report by Martha Baille (thanks Theo!), Beautiful Boy (heartwrenching), He's Just Not That Into You (I died laughing) and Girl, Interrupted (I love mental hospitals!)
4 batches of cookies and a pecan pie
1 amazing construction project that involved drilling into a solid brick wall (see picture above)
1 wonderful afternoon helping my gorgeous friend Cynthia pack in the "Trifle packing method"
250 GB of hard drive installed into my macbook
1 fingerprinting appointment, which gets me a little closer to my Green Card
4 4" binders, which now contain the scrapbook for my entire career, which took me 14 hours to compile
2 huge bags of clothes to the Goodwill
1 new filing cabinet
10 hours of sleep every night
0 dark circles under my eyes
