A Clean Sweep

Well, here goes. It's been way too long and I'm ready to just do it!

I sure hope everyone out there in blog-land has had a good holiday. Mine was alright, but I always feel kinda funny/empty after Christmas. There is some sort of magic in the expectation of the holiday and Christmas morning it kinda disappears. I'd love to know why this happens. Maybe it's just that I need to get up off my hiney and get to work!

I do have some resolutions. Didn't really think I'd make any this year. The ones I've made in the past all seem to have flown the coup, so why is this year any different? It seems the human spirit is always trying to adjust itself and "fix" what's wrong. I have quite a few things that need fixing so it's probably best to make them public (like confession) and maybe I'll pay more attention to them.

1. I do need to lose weight. But, I think what is in order is a life-style change and not just a temporary fix at the scales. There's more to this one than just getting skinny. Though, I'd love to make some really cool artsy clothes to wear at Art Events. I dress entirely too frumpy!
2. Dress better. Okay, I'm working on that. Frump goes out the window!
3. Spend lots more time with my kids and grandkids.
4. Finish the kitchen. It's getting there, but not fast enough.
5. Landscape the backyard. I have too much space back there. Right now it looks like a wasteland!
And-last-but-not-least:
6. Blog a whole lot more! Twice a year is not enough! Let's start with twice a week (baby steps)-and I do need to figure out things, like getting it to look better. Never have figured out how to put my art in the banner. It'll come.

That's enough for now. If I actually pay attention to these past January, I'll be doing great!
