Thinking

As is usual for the past few years, one of my plans for the new year is to blog more.  Except, this year I'm calling it a resolution, rather than goal, which connotes something to be accomplished.  By resolving to do it, I don't have to worry about being perfect because I'm not rushing toward a specific end.  I resolved to post five times a week.  I made a resolutions chart for all of my resolutions and I check it off daily.

This post is entitled "Thinking" because I'm thinking about what I want to do with this blog.  I definitely want to talk about books because they are such a large part of my life.  Plus I'm involved in a challenge where I am supposed to post reviews to mark my progress and I'm participating in that readalong where I'm supposed to check in four times.  But I don't want to solely be a book blog because I like having a place where I can talk about whatever I wind up talking about.  Having a blog is a good way to share.  However, I feel like I need a definite purpose, a definite vision for this blog.  And that's what I'm thinking about.  Anyway, you might see some changes in the blog over the next little while as I sort this out.

I hope y'all had a happy new year.  I stay at my apartment and read and watched Gone With the Wind.  It was totally low-key.  I was in bed watching Gilmore Girls with the lights out when I saw that it was 12:05.  I said goodnight to the world and went to sleep.  It was great.  And yesterday I stayed in my pajamas all day, I made fried chicken for supper, and watched Pleasantville.  Today I'm going to try to plan on leaving my apartment, if only to check the mail.  (I've been in here since I got back Thursday afternoon)  I'm having a lovely time reveling in a glorious nothing until school starts next Monday.  I plan on getting a few letters written and some reading done.  I've also been cleaning and rearranging things in my apartment, which is really pretty satisfying work.
