Resolutions

Okay, so this does not bode well, does not bode well at all.

I have only just now, near the end of the first day of this shiny new year, even found the time to sit down and write this post although I have been planning it for weeks. So now I am thinking of resolving to accomplish gigantic goals? Have you met your own toddler, Joanne? Really, the nerve.

1) Do something about feeling so floompy all the time. Start exercising. Take it slow. How about once in January, twice in February, thrice in March and so on so by next December you’ll be dancing around about three times a week.

2) Read one book a week. Really long books can span two weeks but only if they are REALLY long. Reading Little D toddler books do not count, not even when you read them 79 times in a row. (This goal is NOT about making myself read because I LOVE to read. It’s about GIVING MYSELF THE TIME to read. Because currently I never do. It somehow feels like too much of a luxury, like there are toddler clothes I could fold or toys I could be busy tripping over.)

3) Write up reviews of the books you read mainly to make yourself think about them in more words than “Book good. Book not good.” Put them here or on Goodreads, or something.

4) Do Illustration Friday 10 times this year. See, piece of cake, not even once a month. Seriously, you can do this!

5) Do Project 365 this year. AND so it actually does something like improve your photo skills, these shots have to be in fully manual mode.

6) Knit one sweater for yourself this year. Like a real sweater.

7) Knit one sweater for Hone this year. Also a real sweater.

8 ) And just so he doesn’t feel left out, knit one sweater for Little D this year. This one can be fake.

9) Write a novel. (Shhhhh, this one is being snuck in so I won’t really notice it until it’s too late.)

10) Start cooking more. (No, I won’t quantify it! Neener neener.)

Let the crazy begin.
