It’s Not Again, It is Always.

A year in reflection. The first half of 2007. The resolutions.

The Not’s

  1. Snickering about global warming. I never think of it when I have the ignition switch on my Jeep between my forefinger and thumb and I smell burnt flesh.
  2. Over throw the government of some small country – mainly Micronesia - and declare myself queen. Haven’t left the country this year.
  3. Declare a Christian-crusade on Muslims every time they declare Jihad on a Christian. Ooooh, this one has been sooo hard.
  4. Adopt another cat. Just Phoenix and Diablo
  5. Either buy more than ten new t-shirts, or a sailboat. One T-Shirt to proclaim the Tennessee Women’s Basketball Team champs. I have subscribed to Sail and drooled over the ads in the back of the magazine.


The Do’s

  1. Pitch The Last Voyage of the Cosmic Muffin to Oprah. Nope
  2. Sell 700 more books. More like 18
  3. Write the first draft of Beyond the Sail (Working title).Working on the Great Mexican Novel called The Kayak
  4. Learn to sail. Am I crazy?
  5. Drink more milk. Doing Soy.


Under Consideration but Waffling on the Commitment
  1. Get a job…Considered applying as a weekend dock hand. And thank God for the stock market...13861!!


How are you doing on yours? Can you even remember them?

The blog: Started a year ago as a marketing means for The Last Voyage of the Cosmic Muffin. I have six devoted fans…A friend in Hawaii, Dad, my aunt and uncle, my two sisters and a childhood friend in Alaska. Thanks.

My resolution is the same every year. One item, not very funny, but worthy: Drink more water!
It was easier when I had good well water in my home in NM -- it's not so easy when I have well water with a lot of iron in it in AK. I have gallon jugs in my fridge, now. Did you see the latest news item -- coffee counts towards your intake, not 1:1 but close. Coffee has been keeping me alive! I am keeping my resolution! Long live the bean. Julie

The word verification thing keeps spammers from leaving stupid comments about viagra on the blog. Since I am dyslexic, I know what you mean.

I have a desire to learn how to build a rock wall without any mortar.

I have been concocting ice coffee drinks with soy milk. Yummy in the hot and humid climate of Florida. Not so much in Alaska. My sisters think I don't drink enough water...call me the desert flower.
