It's over!
The Christmas Blizzard has moved on, thankfully! But in its wake is a whole lot of snow. Hubster finally made it home around noon today but couldn't get in our yard with the truck. There's a 5ft snow drift the entire width and length of our driveway. Thankfully our young neighbor - Tony - came with the industrial snowblower on the tractor. Yeah!!
I spent yesterday rearranging my office/spare bedroom, cleaning out papers, organizing files, and getting ready for year-end stuff. I tried to get things ready today to actually do year-end, but just couldn't find it in my mind to focus. So, I did some more cleaning and organizing. ~L~ I have the cleanest, most organized office that I've ever had! (hope it lasts).
I think my New Year's resolution is going to be "Be Organized!" My good friend Becky said, "yeah, let me know how that works out for you!" Snot! ~LOL~
Seriously, I had a stack of mail on my desk that was at least a foot high. Crazy! In my "perfect world" I would think I should be able to take a piece of mail and handle it - be it pay it, file it or toss it - just deal with it. But nope, not me. I deal with it, then lay it down, and stack more paperwork on top of it. It's a vicious cycle.
So yes, my New Year's resolution is "Deal with it" AND "Be Organized." (Check back with me in three months to see how I'm doing on that!)
Ok, on a lighter side...since hubster wasn't home last night either, I went surfing on Amazon. Oh My GOSH! My wish list just grew by TEN books! I seriously think that AFTER I get organized, I'm going to have to take a little winter break, order some books, and just plain READ for an entire week. Seriously, there are sooooooooooo many good books out there that I'm salivating as I type. Next to yoga, reading is my favorite thing to do. I tend to get a little bit sleep deprived though as I just HAVE to finish "one more chapter" - which ultimately turns in to two or three more chapters.
Diana Gabaldon's new book is out in hardcover - the latest installment in the Claire and Jaime Fraser story that spans generations. I cannot wait until it comes out in paperback! This is a love story that had me at the 2nd page, despite the time-travel between centuries. The author writes the characters with this sense of humor that has me in stitches one minute, then crying the next. This book is the 7th book (?) in the storyline. It's gonna be good, I just know it!
I'm also a fan on werewolves, vampires and fairies...(I know!)...so there are some new books out by Karen Marie Moning and Sherilyn Kenyon that I want to order. For all you literature snobs out there, despite what you may think, they are well written and DO have a good plot and storyline. The characters - once you get past the fact that they are werewolves, vampires and fairies - are quite entertaining. (Acheron is my absolute favorite!)
OK...first things first ......get ORGANIZED, then play! ~S~
