New Year's Resolution

I will post more. 

But, wait, weren't resolutions meant to be broken?

Okay, Okay.  At kj's request, I am finally returning to blogland, at least momentarily.  Since I always end up betraying my word when I vow to be more consistent here, I am not going to make any promises.  I know you understand.  At least I hope you do.

So lots is going on in my world; the holiday rush came and went in all of its chaotic fervor, I'm back to work (teaching and grading Great Gatsby essays), returning to my novel (writing retreat this coming weekend), finalizing my application to graduate school, and trying to attend to the day-to-day business of my existence.  Life is good, albeit busy.

A couple of recent highlights...

1. I got a 4.0 my first semester.  Woo Hoo!
2. In the last few months I've developed an amazing friendship with this girl from school (school-school, not work-school). 
3. Krizmic and NB came and stayed with G and me this past weekend; Greta Jane was also in town (visiting us and another friend).  We had a fabulous time.
4. G and I hosted a terrific New Year's party and had a house full of wonderful friends.  The BYers were an outstanding addition to the crowd.
5. I'm currently on a high from last weekend, hoping that it will sustain me until Friday when I'll be heading up to Noho to write and fraternize with a bunch of friends and creative types.

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday.  In true procrastinating fashion, I did not get cards out in time this year, so my virtual well wishes will have to suffice.

Happy 2007, All!

So great to see you this weekend. G too! It was the perfect end to 2006 and a fabulous start to 2007. Can't wait to see you this weekend.

And yes, resolutions (like rules) are meant to be broken!

Glad you're back! We had a great time at the party-- I can't believe I made it up past 2am! Guess I am in serious training for sleeplessness.
Hope you have a great time this weekend, we'll talk next week and you can tell me how it went. Hope you & G have time for us in the next couple weeks so we can get together pre-baby!

Happy New Year!! I didn't get a chance to call New Year's Eve night -- totally nutty here -- but I tried New Year's day and got a wrong number. :( It was nice to wish a stranger Happy New Year, but missed talking to you and the BYers. Have a blast this weekend! I'll be there in spirit ...
