New Years 2007

Well, it is the eve of the eve of New Years 2007.  How was Christmas for everyone.  I have been one busy person.  I did finally get my kids gifts finished and in the mail in plenty of time.  I got the rests of the gifts wrapped on Christmas Eve. <G>

On Christmas Eve, I went with my youngest son and my boyfriend to his sister's house.  It was nice.  Since the summer time, they have accepted me in their brother's life.  He is a bit older than me.  I don't think of our ages most of the time.  Lately, though, it has been drilled into my head as his health has been failing.  I don't know if I have another year with him.  I just enjoy each day that God blesses me with.

Christmas day, we with to Steve's brother's house.  Steve and I are hoping to have the family get-together at our place next year.  Right now, we are cramped, but we are doing some remodeling this coming year.

Well, I have developed a new addiction.  Eggnog.  Yep.  Fortunately, it only comes out once a year.  I weighed yesterday.  In the last two weeks, I have gained seven pounds.  Yikes!  So, the eggnog is gone.  Or at least, I am trying to make it gone.  Right now, I am having withdrawals.  I don't know if I can withdrawal without giving in.  I am taking it minute by minute. I thought I would write on this blog trying to get my mind off of the eggnog.  What happens, I write about it. :-)

Isn't technology great?  Right now, as I type this, I am online chatting with my daughter in TX on msn.  I am sitting in ID.  I moved here in 2005.  Left TX in 2002.

Are you ready for the New Year?  I'm not really ready.  Oh I have my goals in place.  I don't make resolutions to be broken in a few days.  I set a couple of goals a month, then work on them throughout the year.

Some of my goals include writing more regularly.  This year, I got more steady in my writing.  Then life happens.  Steve had a heart attack and open heart surgery.  Since then, I have hardly done anything concerning anything.  Then the seizures started.  Then episodes the doctors don't know what causes them.  Not good.  It scares me when I think of how his health has gone down since summer.  I pray for him daily.

Some of my goals for the new year are:  writing more.  I want to finish the two correspondance courses that I am taking.  I want to make my first sale in my writing.  I want to finish my second book and get it ready to submit.

I have others like financial goals, spiritual goals, etc.  Those are my writing goals.  What are yours?

take care and have a Happy New Year.
