New Year resolutions

On the top of my list this year was to blog more often. Actually, it was to blog weekly. It's the last day of January. I don't think monthly qualifies as success.

So, what am I up to?

Reading-I'm glomming Young Adult fiction at the moment. Hunger Games, Gone, Uglies--all outstanding!

Watching-working my way through a long-running BBC mystery series called "A Touch of Frost." Also, can't seem to stop watching the new "Star Trek" movie. Chris Pine or Zachary Quinto? Decisions, Decisions.

Making-I'm knitting up a storm. I've made 4 scarves, a yoga-bag, an afghan, and now I'm learning socks!

Cooking-not so much

Baking-bread! I gave myself a Breadman bread machine for Christmas. It has a gluten-free setting. Joy!

Organizing-the front closet today. Moved 6 months ago and it became the "I don't know where to put this" destination for all who helped that day. Of course, it was AFTER I finished that I found the light switch inside the closet.

Shopping-not really. Christmas shopping was fun this year but I'm not a shopper by nature...unless I'm at Staples. Or Home Depot.

Tick-tock until I can garden. I started some basil in a pot, just to hurry things along.

So, we're all caught up now, right?

Oh, WRITING!

Oops. Okay, I'm putting the finishing, final touches on the book I wrote with my sistah-from-another-mistah, Susan Donovan. A Courtesan's Guide to Getting Your Man will be released May 24th! Our cover is delicious--and someday, when I learn how, I will post it!

TTFN!
