Oh, my. I’ve become one of those people.
One of those bloggers who only posts once in a while and
then sheepishly slinks back to the Internets, hoping no one will notice how
very long it’s been since my last post.
Go on, go ahead. Judge me if you must. I can see those pursed lips, that quizzical, Oh, are you still blogging? I didn't realize.
I deserve it. I do. But I swear I’ve got excuses a-plenty, and trust me, they’re extra
good excuses that may or may not involve a very time-consuming fiddling duel
with the Devil down in Georgia. (Charlie Daniels wasn’t the only one who’s
landed in that situation.)
I truly meant to blog this past week, but I’ve been digging out from the holidays. Like, literally. All I can say is thank
gawd I had the foresight to buy the “post-holiday hell pit” attachment for my
vacuum cleaner or else I’d be in big trouble.
Resolutions, you say?
Sure. Yeah. I guess.
Here they are:
1) Stop making fun of yoga and maybe do some myself
because I’m about as limber as a saltine cracker these days. When I walk there’s
so much popping and crackling in my knees it sounds like somebody dancing on
a stage covered in bubble wrap. I’ve got to see what can be done about this.
2) Write
an awesome novel.
That’s it. I like to keep things simple if I can. I’m already hard at
work on the second resolution, and I’m very excited about my WiP. That first resolution may
take even more effort especially since it involves the acquisition of yoga
pants. Oh, boy.
Tell me two of your resolutions, writing or otherwise. I
promise I won’t be all like this:

I've only made resolutions for this month so far.
1. Kick seriously patootie on my edits.
2. Kick my own patootie into shedding the holiday 5-8.

I look forward to your tickly-funny next post, where you report on how your new resolve is panning out.

My resolutions are more like guidelines...
1. Write really great stories.
2. Get said really great stories into other peoples hands.

So far I'm just aiming to get through each day without wanting to punch anyone in the throat or jump off a bridge! (kidding)
My goals so far are to:
1. Read more this year (Tracking it on GoodReads.com since they have a reading challenge)
2. Cook more instead of just going for the easy fix at some drive thru. Eating healthier is the whole family's focus right now. Support helps.
Good luck & loving the blog.... post as often as you can. We love it whenever you do!

Funny you should mention your cooking resolution. I'm making homemade soup for dinner tonight for similar reasons. You know when the last time I made soup was?
No?
Me neither! It's been a looooong-ass time. That much I know. Possibly there was a Bush in the White House when I last used this recipe.
Best of luck with the non-throat punching in 2013. I give you credit if you make it to Feb with that resolution intact. ;)

Keeping the sanity on a leash is hard work. It's always pulling and tugging and trying to run away. Then it pees on the neighbors lawn.
You're gonna be stronger than ever by the end of 2013, girlfriend.

I'll be you end up mustering way more than 20 seconds of courage. Even thinking the words, "I'm going to write a novel" takes guts.
