Happy New Year

Blogging, Family, ,

I started a new blog under my first domain name, dponline.org. It’s actually not live yet outside of WordPress — weird, but I guess it will take time for the nameservers to update. I hope that’s all it is. I’ve already spent far too much time trying to figure it out.

The holidays were nice — great having Clare here. We celebrated a little late, but that’s okay. I wasn’t really ready for Christmas on Christmas Day anyway. It was nice having those extra days.

I spent yesterday and today de-christmasing. Nearly everything holiday-related is out of the main floor, but I have a lot to do in the attic in terms of putting everything away.

No resolutions this year — just a continued effort to keep the procrastinations at bay.

New Year Resolutions v.2017

Musings, , ,

I always make resolutions — usually privately — and never actually accomplish anything. One year I was going to learn Danish. Nope, didn’t happen. (nope, skete ikke). One year I was going to stop procrastinating. Again, nope, didn’t happen). Exercise? Nope.

This year I’m doing something different. I simply want to learn a new thing each month. New things like how to parallel park, how to make gnocchi, and more about our personal finances. I also want to take this year to finally organize the house — declutter, I suppose — by tackling a different part of the house each month. This month it is the basement since we are halfway there anyway with the remodel.

That’s it. I am not making any other resolutions.

We’ll see how it goes.
