Happy New Year! Resolutions anyone? Anyone?

I had a wonderful New Year. We went to my folks and then had BH's kids and grandkids over for a little while. It was a nice day and I felt great. Whoohoo!

Of course I alsway feel great 2/3 days before the next treatment. Which was yesterday. Treatment went fine. I met three interesting ladies yesterday. I talked to them all about their treatments and we shared how we have been feeling. I talke to one gal for a long time, until we both got sleepy with our treatments.

So New Years Resolutions! Did I make any?

No.

I'm still keeping to one I made many years ago and that was to never make another New Years Resolution.

I had heard that as a joke one year and decided that was going to be my next one. Because there is nothing magical about Jan 1. If something needs changing or doing, do it! I'm a procrastionator by nature so waiting only makes it worse.

I like AM's idea of Intentions. That is much a more practical and less stressful way to start the Happy New Year.

I usually make a list of unfinished business. Stuff I've put off because I'm a procrastionator, or maybe I just have a list longer than I'm able to finish with real life happening.

They are. . . .

Get my Real Estate stuff fininshed.
I still have some things I need to complete, forms to turn in, and 2 classes that need to be done before the year ends. Not to worry, I have one book done, chapter tests turned in and graded, I just have to take the final, then on to book 2.

Make my hair turbans.
I bought some fabric a few weeks ago. I got my pattern. Now I need to get the sewing machine set up and sew them. I picked up some lightweight fab so when the weather warms I wont cook my sorry brain.

Spring exchange.
Every year a group of us crafty women get together and do an exchange. My favorite one is the Christmas exchange where we make ornaments or decorations and exchange them, much like a cookie exchange. We had 16 in our group this year and I got some awesome decorations.

I've been asked to do the spring exchange. This is always harder for me to come up with an idea that I want to make 16 of. I think I have an idea, several ideas that I'm playing with. So if I can get my other obligations taken care of I just might do it. I've not committed though.

Chloe's quilt.
We started this a long time ago but I never helped her finish it. I keep promising her I'll come over and help and I've not done it. I feel bad about this. I want to but I' know it's be several hours of work over several days. Dedicating time chunks right now is bad, it's always bad so I just have to knuckle down and do it.

And that's it. So far. I'm sure I can come up with more.
