New Year Resolution

Can I start a New Year Resolution now? I mean, this is my blog. I can, can't I? I resolve to actually keep up with my blog!!! hahahaha Yeah, right. Seriously, I really want to do this but I keep forgetting. I spend all this time on the computer but most of it is reading. I click here and there, check this and check that. But that's about it. I don't do a whole lot of writing/posting. I might respond once in a while but not much more. :(

I have been doing a whole lot of reading. I am quite proud of myself. I thought I might include some book reviews. Give me some purpose to this blog. Some deals. What else? I'll have to think on it. Hopefully it won't take me months again before I post. But hey, I had a baby. That's a good excuse, isn't it?!??!

Today I actually managed to get some tasks done. Namely cleaning. I had a little checklist in my head. I wanted to put in a load of laundry. Check. I wanted to put the diapers from the diaper pail into the trash. Check. I wanted to clean the kitchen floor. Check. Not only did I clean the kitchen floor, I also cleaned the bathroom floor. And sorta cleaned our bedroom floor. Woohoo! What I didn't get around to was cleaning the stove. Boy is that nasty! Maybe, hopefully tomorrow. I also didn't get to work on T's thank you cards or my own for Z. Shame, shame, shame.

Oh, maybe I'll review some of the shows I watch - the reality shows. Although Project Runway is almost over. Not that I've really been following it as much as I'd like. I watched a marathon over the weekend and I've already forgotten most of it. I meant to write down the guest judges to help me remember. But of course I forgot to do that.

I am reading The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd right now. I read it a couple of years ago, I think. Maybe it was just last year, I forget. Anyway, I am re-reading it now. The library is having a discussion on it Thursday night and I am hoping to get to it. That is, if I finish the book. Looks good so far. I thought the book discussion was tonight and I would have totally not been able to do it, but I think I should be able to finish it by Thursday night. Now it'll just be a matter of whether I can get to the library. D says he might be coming home late one night to have drinks with his old co-workers but he doesn't know what night yet. Obviously if it's Thursday night, then I won't be able to make it to the library. I was planning on bringing Z but I don't want to bring all the boys. I don't think it would be a good idea. Anyway, regardless I will review the book after I'm done. So far, it's a pretty good book. I think I remember liking this book better than The Mermaid Chair, her second book which we read for book club. And I've easily read half the book already. I think that already shows how good the book is. I know I read quickly, but being able to get through a book quickly doesn't necessarily mean it's good.

I just wanted to add that I just got a look at my book challenge lists. Boy, have I added to the list since I last posted. I guess I have been doing something. lol I'll tack onto that list later. It's too late to go back and forth right now. I have my list on the other site.
