What I'm Writing:  Currently not working on anything. I've been WAY too busy!

What I'm Reading:  Still reading Allegiant and thankfully it's gotten a lot better. It's interesting the way the story has gone from the first couple of books. There's less action and more thinking and plotting.

What Inspires Me:  I'm still enjoying Christmas music - both traditional carols and modern interpretations thereof, as well as novelty tunes (except "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer", I've alwasy HATED that song!!) and fresh new music.  

What Else I've Been Up To:  My BFF Darlene drove dwon from Oregon over the weekend, and I was able to spend some time with her and our mutual friend Pammie. We enjoyed some great food, wine, shopping, and martinis!

Periodically I remember to do my monthly resolutions (which I picked up from Kim on her blog The Kim Challenge), but not often. This month, however, I remembered (late, but still ...)! So, without further ado, here are the things I'm going to attmept to accomplish this month:

1.  Make and mail my Christmas cards before December 25th.

2. Call for a doctor appointment regarding the constant pain and stiffness I've had since August.

3.  Post at least 25 days for Holidailies. (Yes, I know I am woefully behind on this goal already, but I hope to catch up this weekend!)

4. Cook up some delicious and healthy soups, stews, and casseroles.

 5. Get to the gym 3 days a week.

Yikes! It seems like a lot now, and this month is already flying by! Wish me luck! Cheers!
