A New List

Cleaned my oven. 
Okay, the oven is a self-cleaning oven.  I have owned it for two years.  I think I have cleaned it once before today.  Because of the cheesecake I made for Christmas, I am using the 'heavily soiled' setting.  It took me a while to find the instruction booklet.  I have the booklet open near the oven because there is a warning about what to do in case of excessive smoke or fire. I hope not to need to refer to that, but I don't function well in a crisis mode and, remember, luck favors the prepared, darling.
While my oven cleans itself, I am starting to think about a list of things I want to do in the coming New Year.  Some things are always on the list.  Just held over from the list of things I didn't accomplish last year.  But this year I am adding a new thing to the list.  In fact, I am putting it near the top of the list, because I believe it is so doable.
1.  Buy something at the deli counter.
While I was talking to Princess Amidala on the phone today (see above), she revealed that she finally bought something at the deli counter.  And I reveled in this victory with her, because I share her apprehension of trying new things.  Scary things like buying something at the deli counter.  And I realized that I have never bought anything from the deli counter here in Dodge City.  And I have lived here for 2.45 years.  I buy all my lunch meat and cheese prepackaged.  I have not made pasta salad.  I glance at the deli counter upon entering the store.  One time I even pushed my cart in front of it and looked at stuff in the deli case.   But this is the year I will talk to the person behind the counter.  I will order half a pound of something and have them wrap it up for me.  I.  Can.  Do.  This.
It's good to have goals.
