2. Eat crackers
3. Put away the Christmas decor--s-l-o-w-l-y
4. Take a walk. A short walk
5. Finish up cross-stitch projects, even if you're not mad about them anymore
6. Wait for someone to come home and make soup
7. Finish reading books that you began a while ago and don't really remember how they went but don't want to start over
8. Leave messages on friends' answering machines

And Sturbridge is moving right along. Excluding the very simple border, I can say that I've finished 2/3 of the piece. That is, I've completed 4 of the 6 pages in the pattern. And I'm not stoppin'! In fact, when I finish this, I'm heading back to it.
