First post of 2012
So this blog is pretty much dead and there are nothing but crickets and cobwebs and Alice, who is sweet enough to comment, hahahaha...haha..ha. (awkward slow clapping)
No new year's resolutions, because I always manage to break them within the month. The usual ones that I break within the first week are:
- no biting my nails
- sleeping earlier (or at least in bed by 11pm)
I have such weak resolve :'(
How about things I will strive to do instead?
- Read more, blog more - joined Alice's readalong here
- Go ziplining or do something (safely) adventurous that does NOT require me to bind my feet with rope that can snap, causing me to belly-flop into crocodile-infested waters or jump out of a perfectly functioning airpline. Perhaps the ziplining experience will give me the cajones to do those things later, but most likely NOT this year.
- Travel - I have a most serious case of wanderlust. Must wander around again!
If these things do not get accomplished, I won't be devastated, but it will give me a good reason to mope with a pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream in, oh, 356 days. Ice cream doesn't sound too bad, actually.

HURRAYYYY COMMENTING
ReplyDeleteBook blogs are where it's at, man. More specifically, readalongs. They are way fun.
Ziplining sounds scary and I salute you. Also, if you want someone to drive with you to some Illinois-or-near-Illinois destination, I WILL GO AND HELP PAY FOR GAS.
@Reading Rambo Ooooh! Yeah! Do you have any Illinois/Midwest destinations in mind? Lake Geneva, Galena, Starved Rock, Matthiessen State Park, etc? If it's highway traveling and suburban areas, I actually enjoy driving, and your company would be wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteIf you're willing this spring YES LET'S GO TO A STATE PARK AND HIKE YES. I haven't been able to go to Starved Rock in over a year and I love it. Haven't been to Matthiesen yet. And Galena I seem to remember as having lovely antiques. Never been to Lake Geneva.
