Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a great Christmas and a fantastic start to the New Year. I am so sorry that I appeared to disappear off the face of Blogger planet for a few weeks, but two weeks before Christmas my children contracted chicken pox (at the same time) which caused stress leading up to the school nativity as my son was Joseph, however we made it (just) as his spots had dried up enough not to be contagious. Of course Christmas had gone on hold too, so the last week before Christmas is a blur for me! We had a great Christmas and are just beginning to manage the finer points of using a Wii controller now!
Never very good at New Year's Resolutions so I have set myself a number of goals that I want to achieve by the end of 2009. This makes it less likely that I will feel a failure if I do not achieve them all by January 31st!! Some of my goals have to remain in my little head, however I will share some of them with you!
- Lose ** pounds in weight
- Send my holiday bible club MS off to at least two other publishers
- Write regularly i.e most days
- Get organised (ha ha ha - fairyland I think that one)
- Come to terms with the departure of David Tennant as The Doctor
- Remember that the computer has an off switch!!
- Complete the first draft of my YA novel
- See if life without regular doses of Galaxy is possible
Just a few of my ramblings? Would love to hear if any of you guys have goals or resolutions, although you are all far too organised and sensible to need to do such things I am sure!!!!
