I know we all make ridiculous NY resolutions, like losing half our body weight by the end of next week, or perhaps swearing off the vino in the evening, (chortle) but I think my decision to write a blog reflects seriously on my sanity. Having spent the latter half of 2007 reading some great blogs, I realized I was spending far too much time at my computer. So I'm not quite sure why I decided to start my own; I mean I'm having enough trouble keeping my bottom off the back of my knees as it is.
Having written one book in 2006, http://www.rulesbritannia.com/, and supposedly working on at least another two, I am going to have to limit my blogs entries to about twice a week - unless I have something really important to comment on, which I usually do.
So what are my other NY resolutions ? Hmmm... (quick, make something up)
- to lose half my bodyweight by June 30
- to limit myself to two glasses of wine when I'm attempting to help with algebra homework, (otherwise I dissolve into tears)
- to get outside for more than the five minute walk to and from school each day
- to tackle one writing project at a time (oh, there's a good one)
- to finish all other projects (eg. knitting, painting and sewing) or throw the bloody stuff out
oh yes,
- to make my body my priority this year. No more "Oh I couldn't work out because I needed to get some stamps" excuses
Just call me optimistic!
Happy New Year.
Oooo, I think this blog is going to be good. You're on my blog list now after just one posting. I'll be cheering for your weight-loss and do-something-with-all-those-projects efforts. Looking forward to post no. 2.
ReplyDeleteSwearing off the vino is always a bad idea in my experience. Far better to swear on it (or swear by it).
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of blogging, Expat Mum! Within a few months, I can guarantee that you won't even recognise your children (and if that isn't a recommendation to any mother of three, then I don't know what is).
Well I was told not to expect a comment for 2-4 weeks, so bless you both!
ReplyDeleteCan pretty well relate to all of your resolutions.....in fact, yes, all of them. How scary is that?
ReplyDeleteNice of you to visit my blog, so I had to repay the compliment. Welcome to blogging, I only started in November and I hooked. I wish you luck with just with all your resolutions, most of mine have already died.
ReplyDeleteDid you lose half your bodyweight by June 30. Mind you, I saw you in July and you looked pretty trim!
