This Year Goes to Eleven.

Can it get better than this?
2011 will tell.
All the best from us here at Hollow Squirrel to you!
*****
I usually don’t “do” resolutions because I always always, without fail, fail at keeping up with them. But this year, let’s show some cajones and throw some resolutions out there:
1. I will somehow get this blogger’s husband (and alleged HollowSquirrel reader) to leave a comment. Oh yes, I did!
That was kind of lightweight, I realize… no doubt my beloved SJ will pester Said Husband until he wimpers and strikes a comment. RIGHT? Good. I can pretty much cross this one off my list and DONE! SUCCESS!
2. I will not finish all outstanding projects and not purchase any new crafting materials until the following projects are complete:
* honeymoon scrapbook — pictures in, notations not… so I think I’ll just be scribbling “Hawaii” and “lush foliage” under most pictures since my memory has crapped the bed in the 7 year gap (except for the 11 Mile Trail o’ Tears death hike that Mr. Squirrel forced upon me…that’s all still pretty darn clear in my memory) (yep, still bitter).
* Christmas ball wreath — that was suppose to be for my aunt circa Christmas 2008…oops!
* MY CHILDREN’s BABY BOOKS (commence shame spiral) (must log off and inhale ice cream while staring off into space).
* Alter 2 pillowcases, make curtain for kitchen door and four curtains for basement windows. Ugh.
3. Stop with the resolutions already. DONE! SUCCESS!
I know you’re going to rock 2011 like you did back in 1984 (remember? Yeah, me neither, but I’m sure we were kick ass). Happy 2011!

Happy new year to the whole Squirrel family!
If it makes you feel better, I think I’m worse than you at keeping up with the crafting projects. Tim and I did homemade gifts for the family this year and it almost killed me to get my half of the gifts made on time.

WTF is it with husbands and ridiculous hikes on the honeymoon?? Mine did the same thing. I am still bitter, too.
Happy new year!

Happy New Year! I would be bitter about the hike too….pretty sure that is not what honeymoons are for.

Whaaaaa? Your kids will put their heads in the water without screaming? Impressed.
If it makes you feel any better, neither of my kids have baby books. Well, they have some stats, but that’s all they’re getting. Sorry kids. You can read the blog backlog. That’s all I’m up for.

Yea haw! I absolutely LOVE your resolution number uno for the year that goes to eleven.
I’m off to mastermind my plan to get that puppy marked off your list.
Happy 2011!

I never make resolutions, but I always make GOALS. That way I can still plan to improve myself but if I don’t complete them, it’s not FAILING. Somehow that works for me.

I was 3 in 1984 so I really, really don’t remember my resolutions. They were probably something like “dress babies before putting them back in the bin” and “keep cheerios in bowl” but we’ll never really know, will we. I don’t make resolutions. Coincidentally though I have to lose about 20 pounds in 2 months for a friend’s wedding starting, um, 4 months ago…so there is that. But it isn’t a resolution. It is my fat ass combined with terminal procrastination and a love of pizza, not a resolution.
Congrats on your blogoversary!
