Is it acceptable to revise New Year's Resolutions?

I really didn't make that many resolutions... but somehow I'm still having trouble keeping them. The first was a repeat from last year - I want to read an average of one book each month this year. So far, I've given myself a bit of a cushion on that... I read The 12-Step Bush Recovery Program by Gene Stone (an excellent Christmas gift), and Lamb by Christopher Moore. I've started on my third book, The Stupidest Angel, also by Christopher Moore. If you haven't read any of his books, I HIGHLY recommend them.

The second resolution was to blog more frequently. Clearly, I haven't done as well with that one... so that's the one I'd like to revise. I intended to blog more frequently, but whether it's a case of the winter blahs, my bizarre schedule, or something else, I haven't had the motivation or the inspiration for blogging lately. SO instead, perhaps I'll blog with substance this year instead. I don't know exactly what that means yet... but I'm getting there.

In other news, I finally got out the sewing machine last night, and I'm almost done with my first project. Perhaps I'll post some pictures when I finish.

I have to say, I'm definitely excited about the start that the Obama presidency is off to. Closing Guantanamo, reversing the global gag rule, and tackling the economic crisis right off the bat are all great moves, and I'm excited to see what else happens in Washington in the next days and weeks.

Yes We Can!

I've been watching inauguration coverage on several channels throughout the day. Wow. I feel like there is hope again.

And seriously? HOW ADORABLE were the Obama girls? I want their coats. :)

I'd write more, but it's about time to take my husband to the doctor... so maybe I'll have more to say later. More than anything, just wanted everyone to know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth.
