Friends,

I had a baby.

And it was thanksgiving and then Christmas.

And now I”m back. For a second. Before the baby starts crying. Or the kids start fighting. I have a little one behind my back pulling my hair as I type. So it will be a distracted second.

Here are my goals for the new year:

1. Feel like a writer again.

2. Feel like a person again.

3. Eat more fish.

4. Get a space heater of my very own.

5. Finish the short story that is due.

6. Write one novel.

7. Not get a full facial wax.

8. Write a short story.

9. Learn how to poach eggs. Maybe try Eggs Benedict.

10. Read a book.

That is all.
