I know. I know. We're back to the original title for this "series" even though half the time there isn't a confession to be found in the post. It just seems to sounds better....it fits.
Challenges // Tomorrow starts the next round of the Bout of Books Read-a-Thon. I have done it in the past and LOVED it. Seriously. How could you pass up a chance to participate in something that only requires you to read? It's wonderful. But I'm not doing it. In fact, I'm not doing ANY challenges this year. No 30 day workout challenges. No NaNoWriMo. No bookclubs. No nothing. I know it sounds very anti-social and pessimistic of me but the last couple of times I've tried to do them, I've failed. Miserably. Honestly. Who needs that kind of pressure in their life, especially when it is self induced and really the only person it effects is you? I'd like this to be a "pressure" free year as much as possible.
Laziness // My college classes start back up again this week, so I am taking FULL advantage of the cold Michigan weather to play hermit and just generally lounge about the house.
Hooking // For the last week or so, I have been crocheting like a crazy woman. I really had forgotten how much fun crocheting can be when you aren't making things for other people. Don't get me wrong--I love handing someone an animal I've made for them and seeing how excited they are to receive it (let's be honest--the dang things are adorable) but making so many of them started to be a bit boring. I've been enjoying playing around around with new stitches and even writing my own hat patterns!

Good on you for going as pressure-free as possible this year - life has enough pressure; why add to it?
