I am wide awake and I should be asleep. Was it something I ate? I have been working since 7:30 a.m. I got lots of things done, but yes my to do list still is quite full. That is no different so why am I awake. What else is there to do but start a new blog. .. sounds like a reasonable response.
It has been quite a year: I got to take two things off my bucket list
1) I spent some time competing with my dog at sheep herding trials - strike standing at the post and saying "Away to me" off my list - DONE. It was really fun, I can't wait to do more!
2) I visited Spain (our future home ! whole other post for later). DONE We had a great time and got to see quite a bit of east and southern coast. Next time Barcelona and down to Alicante - yes I am already planning.
My new book is almost done, it is currently in the layout stages and hopefully will be out early to mid January. I learned quite a bit about how hard it is to self publish, meeting deadlines is a pain in the a** and so easy to let slip by!
My son started High School, he's fine and loving it - I still can't believe that I have a kid in high school AND he is taller than me - he is also taller than his dad too!
I am taking a novel writing course and I am really excited about it!
For next year we have two vacations planned, I will point out that there is a big difference between planning and paying for..
We would like to go to Mexico for March Break, to an all inclusive resort. We have never done a resort before and thought it would be fun and hopefully bridge the gap from winter to spring. Also in the fall Chad and I would like to go to Jamaica - it will be our 20th anniversary and the first time we will have taken a vacation like that with no dogs or kid. What will we do with ourselves?? It will be fun to find out!
