New year, new plans but the old blog

Welcome 2011. You'll be a busy busy year!

I'm nothing if not practical. But I'm not that consistent, especially when I feel like the things I'm skipping on seem to be important to only me.
So, now this blog will serve as one of my New Years resolutions. Be consistent in something that has to do with only me. Me me me.

But not really. I try to think of all the things that went on last year. Or even the year before and I can't remember. Sure, most of 2009 was devoted to the boys, Trausti being in his first year and all. August to December was all school, and exams and a near-nervous break down on my part I think. Most of 2010. Volcanoes and work and wedding. Let's not forget the wedding. If I keep this up, I might end up with a journal of 2011. Like I've got for a few years here




This year. School, work, thesis. Mostly thesis. Hopefully by the end of the year I'll have finished my masters. That'll be something worth celebrating. finishing a masters degree in meteorology, while working full time in a different country raising two kids and being a wife. Not that that is a job, that's more of a privilege. Not much knitting I'm afraid.

I have a plan though, involving knitting. I want to stop eating stuff that's bad for me. Mostly that is sugar. Candy and cake, and food with added sugar. So. For each month I go without sugar I'll allow my self to spend 5000 Icelandic kronur on luxury yarn, knitting book or patterns. This is about $50 or so. It's a big prize, but it's a difficult task. So let's see. Chocolates or yarn... it's not as easy an answer as you might think!

Then there are things like being the best mother in the world, keeping the house in decent shape, sew more of my own clothes safe up for the world's most wonderful shoes... like I said. Big plans, busy year.

.. the shoes??, I'm glad you asked :)
