2007 wrap-up

fleaBooks: 39 total.
32 new to me
7 re-reads
They break down evenly into fiction (mostly romance, a few mysteries, and Little Women) and non-fiction (all over the map).
I'd like to read more next year. I'd also like to get a paid LibraryThing account and really get a hold of the books we own plus the books I've read but don't own.
Resolutions:
1. Talk to my brother at least once a month. Didn't happen, though I did remember the resolution and call him a couple more times than I would have done otherwise.
2. Bake bread once a month. I didn't bake any bread all year. Probably because of the damned resolution.
3. Lose what Casper affectionately refers to as my "chubby little belly." Lost it, was too-skinny over the summer, now back at normal or normal plus one or two, due to holiday indulgences.
4. Work at being happy. I think I did work, some. Not sure I succeeded.
Good things I did this year, though I didn't resolve to do them:
-Got both me and Casper to the dentist, despite the expense and hatefulness of it.
-Took to hanging most of the laundry out to dry, saving electricity (it's made a notable change in the bills).
-Participated in a book club. I've read some books and met some people I wouldn't have, even if I have suffered some social anxiety and ambivalence about it.
-Re-took the GRE, applied to and got into grad school for a library science degree, and completed my first class.
-Got me and mr. flea to see a counselor together, to try and work together and get forward motion in our lives, practically and in terms of our relationship.
Tomorrow, looking forward. Next year may be a big year for us.
