1. Meet a neighbor and remember their name beyond that one meeting
Done.

2. Read 20 books
Still having issues here as I posted the other day. I have one month and one book left. Here's hoping.

3. Listen to one new band per month
This month, I've been listening to EPs from Atlas Genius (good stuff), Windsor Drive (good stuff), and Capital Cities (freakin' fantastic stuff) as well as the debut album from Divine Fits (good stuff). I got a new album from Ellie Goulding but haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. Next month.

4. Finish watching through season 5 of Doctor Who
Not only did being on paternity leave allow me to finish through seasons 4 and 5 of Doctor Who, but I also accepted and completed Katie's challenge of finishing through season 7.1 by December 1 when Xfinity promised to remove them from OnDemand. I basically watched a little more than three seasons in just a couple weeks' time. Recapping my feelings on the show was what I was going to write up yesterday. 

5. Learn how to make homemade pasta
Nope. Nothing yet.

6. Try one new recipe per week
Oh, it was a good month for recipes other than homemade pasta. I know the resolution was for Katie and me, but I actually made all these MYSELF (unless otherwise indicated)! Roast chicken, chicken noodle soup (with homemade broth - two recipes in one!), pumpkin bourbon pie, pecan bourbon pie (Katie and I both worked on this one), turkey broth (haven't made soup out of it yet), and tuna pasta casserole. Check out some photos below.

7. Continue my 365 days of photography challenge
insty366 is alive but in desperate need of being labeled properly in Flickr.

8. Post monthly updates on my progress
Here you go.

And we'll have fun, fun, fun, till her daddy takes the keyboard away-ay-ay.

Happy December, y'all.
