On the 8th Day of Christmas...

...this blog gave to thee...

...eight resolutions...

...seven shoes to choose from...

...six party dresses...

...five gold rings!..

...four paper worlds...

...three shiny gems...

...two texting whales...

...and a pendant that I made.

If I'm honest, I was struggling for an idea for today, which is why I'm writing this at 01:49 in the morning after being thoroughly disappointed by this years Hogmanay film, Cowboys and Aliens.

I'd half decided not to write any resolutions, especially as last year - as part of the 12 days - I wrote eight resolutions. I read them back a few days ago and I haven't achieved a single one. So this year I have one, with a few sub-resolutions, which - completely and utterly accidentally, of course - number eight.

So the big one is first, obviously, with which I shall add seven sub-resolutions to try and get me to being a bit more myself:

1) Try and be happier:

2) get back to work and make something, I enjoyed it over Christmas!

3) get my jewellery mojo back by making something

4) stop feeling like my designs are crap, paranoia and envy are not good

5) get a haircut, while I like it long, cave girl style is not good

6) keep waking up early, I used to be a very early riser, not so much now and I'm wasting the day.

7) keep taking my 5 htp etc, because I feel better when I do.

8) reconnect, as cutting myself off from people is only making things worst and so, with a new phone number to send out, now is the time!

So there are 8-ish resolution, and now for sleep...which is a good way to start 2012.

Happy New Year, I sincerely hope that this is a good year for everyone.
