However.
The holidays falling on Thursdays this year calls for bending the rules. Oh wait – there really are no RULES. It’s a blog, my blog actually. Since the chances of me writing two posts in two days (plus bring in the New Year with friends and family) and doing the posts right – well the odds are stacked against it.
So I’m traveling to the Land of Good Intentions today.
The Spin Cycle.
New Year’s Resolutions/Intentions/Goals
Since 2009 kicked my fucking ass big time, I have to say I am looking forward to 2010. A LOT.
Here’s my spin from last year. I would say, in terms of meeting those goals, I was more or less treading water. Meh plus one.
I have been exercising somewhat regularly. I lost 12 pounds in 2009, but that was because I could not eat for three weeks, during the bottom pit of hell of unbloggable. However, things have been getting better and I haven’t gained the weight back. My daughter has been bugging me to buy new jeans since the ones I have are all baggy. But I’m waiting another month to see how permanent this new size is. Plus, the baggy jeans are oh so comfortable.
Well, this year I think I will go with the word goal. Plus be more specific. Last year I was somewhat vague and had somewhat vague results…
Pseudo’s Goals for 2010
Continue my morning sacred routines BEFORE coffee and internet time.
Finish the memoir book I began in nanowrimo and have a completed first draft by summertime.
Live with Grace and Gratitude, no matter what is going on around me.
I could go on, but I'll keep it simple and hopefully accomplishable.
Happy New Year and wishing all of you the best in 2010. Strange how this thing called blog has changed my life and brought so many wonderful friendships into my life. I am truly grateful.
For more New Year’s spins, head on over to Sprite’s Keeper.

happy new year pseudo! i hope it is a great year and all your dreams and resolutions come true...
Happy, happy, happiest of new year's to you and your family!
Beautiful sunset! I went back and read what you read last year and I think I'm going to borrow your resolution about not getting sucked into the negativity of others. I need to better in that arena.
You can finish that memoir! I can't wait to read it. Also, way to go with keeping the 12 lbs off - and even through the holidays. I'm glad things are looking up.
2010 is going to be your year! I can just feel it!
Happy New Year and here's to a great 2010!
Happy New Year, Pseudo. I know 2010 is a welcome sight.
So happy to know you and your splendid blog.
This bloggy business certainly has enriched some lives, eh?
One of these days I'll be a Mr. Linky participant again. Ack.

I'd love to be able to live with Grace and Gratitude, too, but I'll settle for NOT living with Murder and Mayhem.
Have a Happy New Year, my friend, and may 2010 be a much better year!
Are you leaving me dear?
Happy New Year Pseudo! Love the pic!
I think those are all attainable. Wishing you a peaceful and wonderfully bloggable 2010. :)
Great resolutions... I'm not bothering with those next year... there are enough broken things in my life.
Happy New Year!
Those seem like pretty good goals to me. And I know 2009 has been tough, but I hope you realize how (a) much you've accomplished with your writing! and (b) how much you've touched and inspired and just been a great friend to so many people. Or at least me. :)
Happy New Year! Here's to a fabulous 2010.
I know you've had a tough year. I try to kid myself and say I have no expectations for the new year. But let's face it; I want the book contract, the man and maybe even a fatter checkbook.
I'll settle for peace, health and some fun.
I think yours sound entirely reasonable.
Here's to a great 2010!!
xo
Well from the sounds of it, you are due a better year.
Good luck with the book.
Happy New Year!
You are oh so clever, land of good intentions... Sending all of my meager energy out to you in a hearty Happy New Year! I'm with you... it's hopefully better than 2009! Beautiful pic there!
What a beautiful picture to end the year!
I have enjoyed getting to know people as well. We call them blog friends or virtual friends, but when you correspond with the same people day in and day out for 365 days, that just screams regular friends to me!
Happy New Year Friend,Friend!
Love what Otin said - he is so right!
I could really get on board with the sacred time before coffee and morning routine, but that damn snooze button is way too tempting! You're linked, Pseudo, here's to a new year with no whammies and more health and happiness! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year.
What a great list you have..
I'm glad your year with the hellish unbloggable event you speak of is over. 2 hours and 45 minutes in my time.
Happy New Year, Pseudo! Here's to a better year for all of us.
I wish you the most wonderful year full of bloggable events, rather than unbloggable ones. Out with the old year, out, out, out!!!
Happy New Year, my sweet friend! xoxoxo
Gorgeous photo. And excellent job keeping the resolutions simple (yet still complex in their own way) and doable. Well done!
Happy New Year, Psuedo! Good luck with your goals. You can do it. I hope 2010 is a better year for us all.
Happy New Year Pseudo!
I hope 2010 is all good for you!
Happy New Year!!
My blessings to you and your family!!
Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!

You survived the year - a grim celebration, but still, survival is better than the alternative.
Will your district continue with the four day week? I think of you every time I open my mouth to complain about my salary/work schedule.
I want you to know I enjoy reading your blog - every post, even if I don't comment (my husband would be floored by the very idea of me NOT HAVING SOMETHING TO SAY). You are wonderful :o)
Rest & Relaxation top my New Year's Resolutions this year. Here's to 2010!
Those are good goals for the year. I wish you the best of luck for 2010!
Two great goals my friend. Best of luck to you, and I really hope this year is LEAGUES better for you! Happy New Year!
How sad is it that my "sacred morning routine" IS coffee and internet time?! :-P
A new year filled with grace and gratitude sounds like the best way to approach 2010..Happy New Year to you!
Love that last sunset shot of 2009 from your side of the world, too. :-)
Ohhhhhh! Love your intentions. Love your comments. Love your perspective. Live on!
I have to agree with you about the baggy jeans... so comfy!
Happy New Year to you too! Wishing for you and yours all the best in 2010 :)
I hope things turn around for you in 2010, Pseudo. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, Pseudo!
Tell me, are Grace and Gratitude easy to live with at this point? They are your daughters, right? Have the hormonal swings hit?
That last shot is a lovely one!

Grace and gratitude...great daily elements. Like your resolutions. Here is to a great 2010.
"Live with Grace and Gratitude"
That is a perfect resolution Pseudo!
Wishing you and your family an EASY, happy, healthy and FUN 2010! You deserve it.

I love it, Pseudo! Wishing you the BEST year in 2010 - and like blueviolet said, more bloggable vs. unbloggable! ;)
Happy New Year! :)
I think your goals are simply fantastic...and so very reachable!!! I am inspired!!! So glad to have met you in 2009...and I'm looking forward to more "travels" together in 2010! You are a terrific friend!! ~Janine XO
