I'm rolling out of bed around 11:30 on this delightfully slothful New Year's Eve in anticipation of a hard day: We might have to leave the house for lunch, a movie, and maybe some grocery shopping for tonight. Otherwise we're barricaded in with rental movies and intentions of staying in our pajamas as long as possible.

I named 2007 " Year of the ( Read more... )

We've had bad reception of the major network stations on the TV for weeks. I finally called the cable company the other day, and the guy came out... but so did two other guys. I think someone neglected to delete the appointment from the system. Three separate technicians have come out and each have told me that there is a problem with the ( Read more... )

I thought perhaps I'd wait until the haze of illness and cold medicine cleared before writing about my theme for the new year. It occurs to me, however, that perhaps this illness at the time of meditating on my reflections for the new year is itself a sign. Perhaps the best resolution I could make, the one that most poignantly address not only what ( Read more... )

In keeping with a good departing year and delightful expectation for the new one, the turn of the year was no disappointment to me last ( Read more... )

This just in: Here it is New Year's Eve, and I still don't have a name for 2006! In the past, I've wanted to change something about my life, my world, or capture something, and that helped me define a name for guidance. The Year of the New Age, 2005, was pretty good, really. I'm in a good place now:

• I really like my job, and hope to ( Read more... )

By the by, I'm interested to know what others are thinking about for their own New Year's Resolutions, and what those near to me are thinking of their own Name of the Year if anything?

1) Drink at least one glass of water every week.
As noted, I've combined my need for artistic expression with my basic human need for hydration. Had at least one glass of water on 10 days out of 14 so far this year. It's going swimingly, har har. Anybody have an opinion on those new Fruit20 drinks? I heard they're splendid! I dig the commercials, ( Read more... )
