Trailer Wife

Oh, Internet. There are many, many excuses for my negligent posting, but I won't bore you with them. Let's just say that holiday fun + life with a toddler + Oregon rain falling on fireplace-warmed windows + a few night flights + newly acquired ring tone making skills = one lazy, procrastinating broad. At least I made it almost to Christmas, right? Right.

So, we are back in Fairbanks. It is cold and dark and sherbet colored. But life here is a bit more exciting. I started a part time job on campus today, and Gusser had his inaugural daycare session (he did great, aside from a little hair pulling and a minor sleep strike). It is amazing how much this four hour block of structure completely transforms the day.

And with a new year and a new routine comes... yes, new resolutions. Here's mine.

In 2010 I will:
1. Learn to ride a horse.
2. Read Moby Dick.
3. Capture the eerie twilight glow with the watercolors my father-in-law gave me for Christmas.
4. Write one short story for every month.
5. Take the frakking GREs.
6. Smile at strangers and give change to everyone who asks.
7. Complete at least one phase of P90X.
8. Make a quilt.
9. Try every kind of Alaskan game.
10. Be a better phone friend.
