New Year Resolutions - Two weeks late

So, I've been thinking about resolutions for 2019. More than two weeks after New Year's Day, yes, but I am a champion procrastinator. Just missed qualifying for the Olympic team. 😜 For 2019, I've decided that it's time to finish some of these long procrastinated projects and start new ones to procrastinate on. I'm getting bored with these same old half-finished projects around, time to spice it up and get some variety in my life.

So, it's time to finish that Southwest style ripple afghan since it's the 30th anniversary of the year it was begun. I told you I was an Olympic level procrastinator! Oh, and yes, Mom, it's time to finish remodeling the kitchen. That's only 2 years overdue; a drop in the bucket in my world of procrastination.

And along the same theme, it's time to try out all these recipes I've collected over the years when something caught my fancy and I saved the recipe. I have hundreds of recipes that sound good, so in homage to the movie "Julie and Julia", this year I resolve to cook at least 200 of the saved-up recipes and find out whether they live up to the room required to save them. After all, if I clean out the ones that don't work and don't taste good, there's room to collect new recipes, right? Don't judge me, I have taken to saving them as digital .pdf files now. There's room on the back up drive. LOL

And read more! I love to read and have a lot of books, both physical and e-books. I want to be able to say with pride, yes, I have read each and every book in my library, thank you. That's a good thing to do while sitting out on the carport enjoying the breeze and the lake with Strider and Buster.

Also, it's the year of ripping all the music on CDs to .mp3 files. No sense in those 2 iPods sitting empty on the shelf. They might as well be useful, and it keeps the area around the CD changer clutter free. Now you're probably asking, why keep the CD changer then? It's the only FM receiver in the house my radio station comes in on. Sigh.

Time also to edit all the writing done over the years and put it into a readable format, even if Lisa and I are the only ones who will ever read it. And finish those four fanfiction stories I started. Time to clear my head to write new stories. And sort out those pictures to get scanned in at long last. That's only been on the agenda for six years now.

And it is the year to finally get the business up and running out of the planning stages. It went through starts and stops and fits and lulls over the last few years, but I think I finally have a handle on what I want it to look like. I've had a couple of new ideas recently that have me excited to go back to crafting and writing at long last. And a project that will, ironically enough, require me to order more beads. Yes, I have a whole shelf full of beads, but none in enough quantity for a loomed beaded bag. Fire Mountain Gems, here I come!
