Yep, I finally made the switch. Not yet happy with the theme, but that’s easily remedied. Probably some stuff missing. *shrugs* I’m just glad I can post to my blog quickly.

I am not goal-oriented. My laundry list of things I want to do in 2009 could fuel a ticker-tape parade, but if I deign to record them, they will only be fodder for later guilt. I could use less guilt in my life.

So, instead of anticipating a long list of things I probably won’t do, I shall celebrate what I actually did accomplish in 2008.

• Dyed my hair green.
• Lowered my average fasting blood sugar by 10 points (10 more to go…).
• Did better socially. Remembered more birthdays (though not as elaborately as I’d like), saw at least some of my friends more often (*waves to Marj*).
• Started a novel.
• Read 196 books. (no comment on the literary quality thereof)
• Kept house cleaner than usual.
• Built a whole lotta shelves.
• Sold a respectable number of books.
• Coped reasonably well with some major crap.
• Finished painting the house.
• Planted something out front that’s still alive.
• Spent a lot more time creating art.
• Sent Christmas cards!
• Did a couple major cullings of stuff.
• Spent more quality time with the cat.

How was your year?
