Happy New Year!
So I figure I should blog something...people are starting to worry about me. :)
Should I do the obligatory resolutions? Let's look at last years:
1. To lose another 35 lbs and become even healthier. I AM healthier but I actually went up 15 lbs, then lost those 15 lbs again. That said, I'm more fit and I began running.
2. To find an agent for my book on creative writing exercises. Ok, here I was lame, but I DID beef up my resume quite a bit--became a published columnist and a college writing professor. I needed the extra credibilty.
3. To be a better correspondent with my aging grandparents. It took me till December to manage this but now I talk to my two grandfathers on a weekly/biweekly basis.
4. To write one poem a week. Ok that didn't even remotely happen. And I'm not sure why. One poem really isn't difficult. Maybe I'll add it back this year.
Sooo this year:
1. Run a 5k by my birthday on June 5 (but am really going to try and aim for a 10k on April 30). This is a lofty, but I believe achievable, goal for someone who has never been a runner until I began training this fall.
2. Strive to be better at remembering people's names--this is essential since I started teaching.
3. Find an agent for my book. The research is done, the proposal is done and I have thumbs up from several people--I know it will sell so I have to get off my rear and sell it. But oh that means I'll have to write it!
4. Write one poem a week. I better get cracking, huh? I think I have resolved this every single year--man I suck.

I've decided to make a few resolutions this year as well. I wonder if I'll be able to stick with them throughout the year.
