A couple of New Year’s resolutions

By on January 1st, 2012

1. If I find myself dithering excessively over a decision, I will ask myself, “Really, why the hell not?” And if the only answer is “Um…I don’t know but I’m sure there’s a very good reason! Because of…um…stuff that might go wrong!”, I resolve to go ahead and do whatever it is, even if it scares me.

2. Each month, I’m going to try to learn a new thing. I haven’t picked out all the things yet, but I’m thinking: some basic programming, stranded knitting (my own personal knitterly final frontier), and, if I can swing it, perhaps a Rare Book School course this summer. Oh, and if I can find any local classes, maybe belly dancing. And if I manage to keep up the learning new things, I’ll blog about them.

    Hey! First, I about fell over when i saw that cat wit the bowtie. Seriously, that is hilarious.

    I would LOVE to meet you for coffee and knitting and randomly chatting about being paranoid and about poetry.

    You are great.
