Domestically Challenged

Sicko & DC the column returning

So, my husband and I brought an unexpected souvenier back from Rome - pneumonia! I have been out of work all week with it and feel like i am breathing through styrofoam. So. Fun.

Anyways, I am planning on trying to get on a regular blogging schedule, so be prepared. I am planning on offering resources I like, cooking stuff and other fun things like that. If you have a suggestion, please let me know.

Also....I am planning to bring back my Domestically Challenged column, so watch for it here in the next few days!

Do you make resolutions?

I have never had much success with resolutions - I know I am not alone in this. Despite this, I think about resolutions every year.

This year I have a different focus. After losing my mom and being in a deep depression for months afterwards, I decided that 08 is my year to feel great. Yes, it sounds cheesy, but so what? If it works, it works.

I was sitting on the couch, trying to get rid of my raging sinus infection before my trip to Rome, and I was surfing the net. I found a great perspective on resolutions. Instead of setting a bunch of meaningless resolutions that overwhelm us, it suggests trying to build a new habit each month. How easy is that?

I know from my NaNoWriMo success that I do well in month long intervals, so this seems like a great idea. I have writing goals for many of the months in 08, but why not break down other goals this way?
