Making words work.

Archive for January, 2010

I’m still stuck on what to call this upcoming decade. The trend seems to be toward referring to the past 10 years as “The Noughties” (or “Naughties,” depending on what spell-check you’re using), what with the awkwardness of the double-zeros. This leaves the next 10 years as the “2ks” for obviously double-grand reasons. Feels a little “Y2K” trendy for me, but whatever works.

 

Resolutions for this year are still pending. There are the standards, of course, such as losing weight, improving my physical strength and flexibility, and learning to browse Amazon.com or a bookstore without spending my nonexistent inheritance, but the ones that are actually important – professional, personal, and the like – are still muddling in my mind. A new query system, new online (and hopefully brick-and-mortar) classes, and better journaling habits are a must, as are rededications to things like housework, dog bathing, and not vacuuming during televised sporting events are right in there with everything else.

 

So, hopefully, my next post will contain some sort of system, some organization, something. Then again, it may be another “Geeze, I’ve really gotta get on that,” rambling. Guess we’ll find out!
