Just some ideas about this coming year - no resolutions here!

It's that time again. A new year. I suppose we need to reflect and blah-blah-blah. Well it ain't happening! Sort of. If I try and think of all the lofty goals I have for myself I am going to completely shut down. So, I think I will focus on three and let life just live itself out for the most part. Okay, I can't really escape the fact that I am a goal-oriented person, so here goes:

The first thing that needs to happen by the end of April is the potty training. BB is still showing absolutely NO interest in the potty. And I tell ya, we have tried everything and nothing. The doctor says by age 3 there should be some progress in that area or we are going to have to get tough, whatever that means. So I am really hoping that by his third birthday in April, and before we go back to the doctor, we can at least have made great strides in that arena. That and I am going to be looking at schools for BB and he has to be potty trained in order to go, so the sooner the better!


Next is the knitting. I have been neglecting this past time and have not really developed it like I have wanted to. I really want to knit some socks this year. They have never turned out for me, but I have bought about four books on the topic in the last few weeks and I am determined that I can do it!
This year instead on focusing on writing more, I am going to try to edit my very first Nano novel. It needs some serious help and I want to fix it. I will also be doing Nano again in November, so hopefully I can make some progress on my first book before going on to the third. We won't talk about the second one I did, ick.

There is a whole heck of a lot more going on this year. My hubby and I will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and BB will be starting school in Fall 2009 (my goal).

I wish health and happiness to all in this new year!

Happy new year, Nicole! Best wishes on your goals. The editing sounds like the hardest one, though I've never tried to knit.
