My resolution for this year consists of “keep working, keep working, keep working,” and does not make for good blog-post fodder. So, instead, I bring you my what-I’m-looking-forward-to list of 2012:
- New writing. There are projects in the works! Plus, nine months from now, I achieve the promised land of both-kids-in-school. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings about it. First of all, I’m going to miss my little guy around the house. And second, what if Min gets the crazy idea that I should get a job in my newfound spare time? I’m planning to channel all this nervous tension into abundant writing projects…
- Recreation. I always have big plans for our outdoor excursions, and they rarely come to fruition… but I’m still hoping. Now that the kids are getting older, I’m thinking some snowshoeing, some sledding, maybe a couple ski lessons. Everyone can bike now, AT THE SAME TIME. And once summer hits, my daughter and I are determined to go kayaking.
- SPAIN! Friends are getting married on the Costa Brava this summer so it looks like the Kyis are going to Spain! This will be our first ocean crossing since the pre-kid era so if I’m using a few unnecessary exclamation marks (Spain!!), you’ll have to excuse me.
I have to say, it’s looking like a pretty good year. What are the rest of you looking forward to?
The promised land is lovely! And it IS so much more fun to spend time doing stuff with your kids when you actually get to spend some time doing stuff without them too! Here’s to a great 2012!
