Resolutions

In addition to my resolutions to lose ten pounds, organize my house, and spend more quality time with my kids, I plan to post more to this blog. I've neglected Sticky Notes and writing in general, and, well, this is not good. It seems that as 2008 began to wane, so did any and all impetus to do anything that is good for me, like writing...oh and eating well and exercising and spending quality time...well, you get the point.

As a person who needs a little kick in the pants at times, I welcome 2009 with open arms. I want to give it a big hug and say thank you for its gift: the chance to start over, the chance to get off my ass and become that person I want to be--that person who writes and eats right and exercises and...well, you get the idea.

More musings to come in 2009. I promise! Happy New Year--I hope it brings you peace and many blessings.

It's Over

I've taken a break from blogging after my last rant about the annoying pressure so many, including several bloggers in the mommy blogging world, were giving to vote for whom they were voting. I didn't want all my posts to become consumed by the election and my opinions like so many others' blog posts were becoming. Even my favorite bloggers were putting up 'funny' You Tube videos meant to insult a candidate (or, more accurately, their running mate- ahem!) or writing paragraphs in their blogs that made sweeping accusations about a candidate based on news snippets taken out of context. I know we all have a right to our opinions on the matter, but I don't read mommy blogs to get smacked in the face with politics, and I don't think I'm alone in that. Therefore, I decided to lay low and take a break from blogging so as not to add any more negativity and political chatter to the blog-o-sphere (does anyone use that term anymore?).

Now that the election is over, I'm breathing a sigh of relief. I hope we can all make a fresh start -- our country AND the mommy blogging world. I'm hoping, too, that I can finally go back to writing posts about something truly important: me! ;-)
