up and down.

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Up: I’ve read seven books so far this year!

Down: Flickr 365 is already something I dread a bit each day. It feels a bit narcissistic and I’m having camera envy and I haven’t reached the place where I think wow, what a fun project. I hope I get there soon.

Up: Project Get Healthy is going well. One week down. 51 more to go.

Down: Drew has been exceptionally difficult for the past few days. Like, I-want-to-hide-in-a-closet-difficult.

Up: Thankfully, he still manages to turn the charm on for when we meet friends for dinner or open the door to packages from the UPS guy.

hello 2012.

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

We’re three days into 2012 and I’m muddling through my living room mess of holiday boxes, luggage, and Things To Sort.

We all had a lovely, amazing, and fabulous time in South Carolina (go see the pictures!) where we made memories, laughed, and explored for what seemed like every second of our vacation. I’m tired. And although I’m eager to get back into routines…I do feel a bit of post-vacation blues. I’ll probably be okay once the apartment looks normal and Christmas is put away. And after I sort through one billion toys.

I am looking forward to this year. I want to become healthy, read more, correspond with family & friends more, make a cozy place for guests in our home, and do a cartwheel. Just one cartwheel. If I like it, I might do more.

But right now, I’m just going to focus on sleep before my head hits my laptop.

Here we go, 2012!
