Happy New Year!

Belated Happy Holidays to all, and also, belated happy new year! I've been in Halifax since the 24th, and between all the family get-togethers, internet time has been scarce.

I'm not so big on resolutions, but I do fare well with deadlines, so in 2008 I would like to...

1. Keep my online literary journal on a regular publishing schedule.
2. Drink fewer calories. I don't drink soda, but I do drink alcohol (sometimes as if it's going out of style) and that needs to be cut down on. I realize that I've been slowly gaining weight over the ten years I've been legally allowed to drink booze. (And, unlike just about everyone else, I didn't drink before I turned 19.) and I've also gotten into the bad habit of drinking vanilla lattes again. So. Fewer calories in beverages.
3. Only eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full.
4. New York has been good for my overall fitness level, what with the walking everywhere, but I'd like to take more walks and see more things and try to get back into a yoga/pilates home routine.
(You'll notice all of this isn't exactly the 'lose weight' resolution so many folks make. It's not really about weight loss, though some of that would be nice...it's just about unhealthy choices leading to feeling unhealthy and all that jazz.)
5. Send my finished novel into the Big Bad World.
6. Be more grateful for the things I have without dwelling so much on the things I don't.
7. Participate in Script Frenzy in April and NaNoWriMo again in November.
8. Finish current NaNo manuscript/polish/edit/rinse/repeat.
9. Travel somewhere I've never been.
10. Do a better job of keeping up with blogs/email/phone calls/friends.
11. Keep track of everything I read over at http://movedbyfancies.blogspot.com/

That'll do for now.
