Here I sit on New Years Eve. I could say it’s because of the danger of drunk drivers, but we haven’t gone out on 31 December in years and years. We’d rather stay home and watch the fireworks on the TV. Tom did start a fire in the fireplace. It was 78 today but according to the weatherman a “front” moved in and the temp dropped fast.
I haven’t made New Year’s resolutions in years but it seems appropriate this year. So here’s my list of resolutions (that may or may not make it through 2008):
1. Share my knitting knowledge with others. This should be easy, as I’ve already been asked to teach a group of co-workers to knit. I’ve even started to work on a lesson plan and schedule.
2. Knit myself a cardigan. I haven’t seen the right pattern yet, but I know I want one that I can wear to work, but isn’t too heavy.

3. Drive the Miata with the top down every chance I get. Again this should be easy. Here in San Antonio we only get a short winter. With my luck, it will be the worst winter in history, with snow and ice expected daily.
4. Learn to knit with wire. Tom gave me a great book for Christmas.
5. Go somewhere that I can put my great camera to good use.
6. Take lots and lots of photos. Another easy one (I hope).
7. Make a scrapbook of old photos for Mom.
8. Organize my “Knitting” room. It’s really the extra bedroom. I have my knitting machines set up so I guess that makes it a Knitting Room, right? I have piles and piles of books, yarn and baskets everywhere in the room. This isn’t going to be easy because I’ve cleaned the room before and it just doesn’t seem to stay that way long.
9. Stop worrying so much about things I can’t control. In the past I’ve fretted over how the kids are living their lives and how the grandkids are growing up so far away. I have to learn to let go and accept the kids have grown up and living their own lives. This will be a hard one.
10. Spend less time being “mean” to Tom.

So that’s my list, what’s yours?
