Happy New Year
I hope everyone had wonderful holidays.
I’m kind of glad last year is over. Hate those “personal growth” years. It always translates into “you will learn things about yourself you never wanted to know”.
Bleh. Who needs that?
Yeah, yeah, I know, it’s good for me, it will make me a better blahblahblah…
I want this to be a rose coloured glasses year!
Who’s with me?
I don’t make resolutions anymore, I found that it put a yucky face on brand new years right from the get go, so now I just make plans to get certain things done or at least make a valiant attempt.
I bought myself a really good winter coat, that for reasons beyond my control (wrong sizing on website) does not fit me. I refuse to sell above mentioned very nice coat, so somehow I will whittle my enormous body down to a more manageable size. This time will not be like all the others. I am done with being huge.
I will read Crytonomicon. I’ve made a good start, already more than 30 pages in and much beyond the points I made it to the other three times I have tried to read this book. Thankfully, the weird gay math stuff seems to have tapered off. Long equations I can’t even remember from university calculus does not make for enjoyable light reading.
The coat just arrived. It is gorgeous. I can even get it done up. Unfortunately, done up, the top half of me looks like a big black quilted sausage. I think I need to work on that. Not a great look.
I will get the dog better. Hell or high water on this one. I miss the evil puppy.
I will write one pattern per month. This needs to be done. I just need the disappline to get it done. Now I just have to decide if I need violence or rewards as incentive.
Of course I may need to move to San Francisco so I can fufill what Denise seems to think is my destiny:

I think I can manage these things (except maybe that last one, even thought it sounds like a lot of fun). After all, I’ve got a whole year.
