Happy New Year, 2008!

We’re officially old fuddy-duddies. Kimi (still not feeling well) went to bed at 11. I stayed up, working a bit, and only knew it was midnight because of the sudden clanging of pots and pans from the neighbors, plus the car horns and fireworks.

Wait, fireworks? Yeah, people were setting them off in the middle of the road. Pretty good show for a suburban side street. Too bad it’s so cold outside. Brr.

Fortunately Sammy and Sophie have managed to sleep through it all. The M80s are still going off even now. Which is why I’m still awake.

So. Resolutions? More frequent posts to this blog (my target is 6 posts a week). Hiking with the family every weekend when the weather gets nice, biking in the summer if we can get safe contraptions for the kids to ride in that don’t terrify them. Writing more short stories and setting up a blog for creative writing and criticism.

    It was when you’re only wearing jeans and a T-shirt!

    But you’re right, we Californians are wimps. Happy New Year! What did you do for the evening, and what resolutions did you make?

    I went to Mom & Dad’s and watched a movie and played games on Dad’s Wii that he got for Christmas. I didn’t make an official resolution but have decided to take better care of myself.
