sloth
Gluttony and all the other good ones...I am behind on my life. Living in the moment is all well and good as long as the moments include doing some dishes, washing a few clothes and opening the mail.
Otherwise living in the moment means being slowly crushed by the future as piles of dishes, laundry and envelopes crush you in a glacial avalanche of stress and filth.
Knitting has taken up entirely too much of my life since I decided in November that I needed to knit everyone's Christmas presents. I need a better knit-life balance. The fact that I started working at Borealis Yarns probably is not a good sign for this kind of moderation. Moderation is not typically a word associated with me.
This marks the beginning of my attempt to return to my originally scheduled life.
I'm not doing the resolution thing, it just happens to coincide time-wise with the new year. Resolutions work about as well as diets. I'm not looking to yo-yo into any of these goals.
• Complete sprint-distance triathlon this summer (Lifetime Fitness and/or Green Lake).
• Finish revisions on Shooting the Thorn Tree and send to next round of agents.
• Avoid storing meaningless shosh-- fit my life in my small house.
• Write daily. Even if only here.

Your kids are beautiful! I found Sam's blog by googling his name on a random impulse. His blog led me here. I knew you guys back in High School (I was a clarinet player, and stage crew geek who loved to watch the fencing). I now have two kids of my own, and I teach French in Edina. My husband (16 years) and I live in Apple Valley. Hope life is good for you all.
