with resolve

Let the boldness begin.

The brain fog has cleared; just as well, because it's the time of the year where I make rash promises. I wouldn't even mention it, but Some Sort of Magic happens when I document my resolutions here: unbelievably, it really works! As evidence: (No need to read. Is one of my more demented posts.) I actually did do and am still doing the running, the drawing, the comic-making. (The boldness: am working on. As above.) 

What have I stumbled on here? A subconcious-programming device? A direct line to the inner me? I feel all powerful!

So now:

• Keep the running/drawing/comic thing going
• Be more career-oriented and (dare I say it) commercial
• Institute telly ban Tuesday, in which (gasp) I will do Other Things. Crafty things, maybe. Or social things. Which brings me to:
• Get Out More. Actually go to Meet-ups in efforts to see other humans, as opposed to just planning to. Converse more. Hey! Pay people, if necessary, to make conversation with me.
  [Ooh.This is an idea. A sort of X-factor for conversationalists!]
• Read more - before brain turns to mush entirely
• Be more confident
• Take a breath. Believe that the husband and I will get there - even while we cherish what we have now.

 I wish you all so many good things in 2013. May it be great, healthful and joyful for all of us.

Much luck on the magical resolution motivator! I hope 2013 gives you everything you want...

Yay for less telly. Ours broke, months ago. And we haven't even missed it. Glad to be rid of that time sink!

Breathing is always good. In and Out. You've come this far together, you will keep going. And breathing.

Oh, that comic made me laugh and laugh. I see in the pages of the New Yorker.

I like the idea of Telly Free Tuesday. I have wasted years feeling bad about the fact that all I want to do is watch old West Wing at the end of the day, and it (all the bad feeling) hasn't changed a thing, but one evening I could maybe manage. Maybe.

Anyway, very laudable, and possibly even doable, and I admire the attempt.

Now that I've posted it, I worry that suggesting your cartoon belongs in the New Yorker might offend you. I happen to enjoy New Yorker cartoons. I just meant it was charming and smart AND funny.

New Yorker? A magnificent compliment of the highest order! I am MOST pleased and flattered.

I love West Wing, too. So much enjoyment, so much.

Yay for actually keeping some resolutions!

How did Tuesday go?
Hope you had fun and are not unreasonably tired today.

Thank you, VV, it WAS fun! More on this later.

Oh, do I ever wish someone would pay me to talk to you! Perfect job!

[Twangypearl]

Me too. Someone! Pay Bionic to converse with me, now.
