Honey, I'm home

Things I have managed to accomplish by not blogging
1.  Watching more TV
2. Working from home every night and on the weekends
3. Last minute Christmas shopping for more people than ever
4. Procrastinating until it cost a ridiculous amount of money to mail out said presents
5. Think about planning my wedding
6. Making a decision about said wedding's location and date
7. Clean the apartment - twice
8. Avoid any answering of wedding questions
9. Spend a lot of time with the boy's family over the holiday (and learning about the 85 different types of cholesterol medication because after me and the boy the next youngest family member was 62, seriously)
10. Hear from everyone talk about how cute, adorable, sweet, angelic and all-round entertaining my niece is
11. Go to my dad's inaugural ball/fund raiser for the arts and kids where everyone asked if I was the mother of previously mentioned angel child (my reply "No, I'm the other one")
12. Have the holidays quietly hurt because my mom's dad passed away two days before Christmas and I procrastinated so long that I did not send him my annual letter in which I would have told him I was getting married

Things I have not accomplished by not blogging
1. E-mailing people individually to say hello
2. Remember to call my family on a regular basis
3. Getting my Holiday cards out before new years
4. Enjoy the outdoors
5. Go to the gym
6. Sleep more
7. Get organized
8. Balance my checkbook
9. Cook more
10. Maintain a sense of balance between my work and my life

Things I plan to do in the new year (not resolutions, but expectations)
1. Blog more
2. Get organized
3. Read more fiction
4. Plan and get through my wedding
5. Go to the gym regularly, not regularly sporadically
6. Balance work with life
7. Visit my family
8. Reduce the procrastination
9. Spend less, give more
10. Use each month to teach myself to keep up with something that I consistently get behind in
11. Remain inspired to try to find something new to learn where ever and when ever I can

So, there you have it.  Two months in a nut shell...or at least in an sketchy outline.

How many lists is too many?
