Wow! It's the last day of the year? When did that happen? Well, Peanut, it seems to happen every year about this time. . .resolution time sneaks up on us, and we plan a big party time to celebrate and indulge in all the stuff we're giving up "for the new year." (Or, at least for a couple of days, so that we can feel a little better about ourselves.) Me? What are Pretty's resolutions? Oh, that's an easy one! A few years ago, I swore off resolutions for New Years. These days, when I think I should be doing something differently than I currently am, I try to just jump in there and start. . .like when I joined the gym a few months ago. I don't go every day, I shoot for three times a week. . .and sometimes I fail at that. But, I'm human, and I'm gonna mess up from time to time. Still, it's been a positive change, and I didn't even have to wait for January! :o)
What are my plans for tonight? Well, seeing as how I spent all of last night at the "first new year's eve party of the year" for the teens at our church, I'd say that I'm going to turn in pretty early tonight! (Heck! I'm probably sleeping right now. . .oh, the wondrous wonders of technology that allow me to write my blog and schedule it to post later!) I'll probably miss the ball dropping on TV, and I won't participate in a champagne toast or a midnight kiss, but I will probably wake up when the random gunfire starts "in the neighborhood." At that point, I will look at the clock, thank the Lord for another year to spend with family and friends, and go back to sleep. Oh, and I will look forward to a "Stitch-a-Day" from my new Vogue Knitting calendar (thanks again, Family, for the knitting gifts this year!).
Thanks for stopping by, and Knit in Good Health!
But with social networking (most of my card recipients are on Facebook these days), maybe my time for holiday cards is up. Don't get me wrong. . .I still love words (see the blog archives for reference, lol!), and I love to play with and share my photos. . .but there are so many avenues for that these days. I mean, gone are the days of only hearing from my cousins, Aunts and Uncles, and faraway friends only once a year. . .even my Army Boy "over there" communicates with me on a somewhat regular basis. . .by the way, if Army Boy were to send a Christmas card this year, it might look something like this:
. . .because that's how his mom rolls. She photoshops Peanut into his friends' Facebook photos so it will feel like she and he are closer together. BTW, is she just the cutest, or what!?!
