Happy New Year ! (An ending fit for a queen)

Too bad I'm not that queen. I looked back and saw that my last post was in October, the day after my son's first b-day. It's been one roller coaster ride after another and doesn't look as though it's going to stop anytime soon. <> Either hop on or let it roll over you.

The kids have been on vacay for the last 3--count 'em--3 weeks! I didn't get a break like that until I was in college and then you needed it. What does a 7 and 2 year-old need with a 3 week break? The Cookie Mill has been doing well and we've even picked up business. I've added one or two new items to the menu and things are looking up. So yup, I plan to continue with the baking business in the new year.



Then there's the writing. After the summer, I picked it back up, started a few new projects, put them down, did some freelance that I actually got paid for and now with the year ending, I'm working on my historical fiction to get it ready for submission to agents--IF I go that route again. The last time was nothing less of a disaster however, I have learned A LOT from it and don't plan to revisit those mistakes again. (Do we ever?)

So for 2010, here it is. I'm going to continue (no trying here, it's do or nothing) exercising seeing as I've lost weight--finally! I will continue pursuing paying freelance gigs and may already have some things in the works early in the year. And as for my novels, I WILL continue to get those together.
Happy New Year and see you in the '10!!
On a side note, why is it everytime I look at the number '2010' I picture The Jetsons or Space Odyssey or something like that? Shouldn't we be walking/flying around in silver space suits?
