Life has been full this past year. There were many projects cast on, but few finished. An amazing weekend at Sock Summit with my dear Chicago friends. Cori has gone from being a baby to a toddler and it’s been a joy to be home with her to watch her development. I look forward to what the year ahead will bring.
In 2010 I hope to:
-Finish my numerous works in progress (’09 was a year of day-dreaming and casting-on, ’10 will be a year of productivity and completion)
-Lose weight slowly and mindfully (no fads, simply being aware of what I’m eating and making choices)
-Strengthen my relationship with my amazing husband (having Cori has brought us closer together, but leaves us with so little time to be a couple. Feel free to leave any advice you may have).
-Read a book a week (Before Cori, I easily read 52 books a year. Can it be done with an almost 2-year old in the house? My super duper new Kindle should help!)
-Learn to play the guitar (I’ve always wanted to learn. My mom used to play folk songs for us when we were little and I hope to do the same for C).
Here’s to a happy and prosperous 2010!
(So, will you be saying “two thousand ten” or “twenty-ten”)?
How do you like your Kindle? My husband is legally blind – low vision problems, and we are trying to decide whether to give the Kindle a try.
I’ve been married for over 30 years, raised 2 boys. Talk to each other and have fun. That’s the best advice I can give. How to go about that is so different from one couple to another – some get a babysitter and have a ‘date” on a regular basis, some make sure to have some time together either before the little one gets up or after bedtime. whatever works for you. Try different things and be flexible in your methods but refuse to give in on the princpiple.
Hmmm two thousand ten, I think.
Hi, so glad I found your blog! First, I LOVE the pattern in your masthead – would you mind sharing the name?
(Thanks in advance!)
And, I feel like I could’ve written this post – the same 2010 goals for me on this side of the country! I love to knit, dabble on the guitar a bit, have a much-neglected wonderful husband and if I’m not knitting, I am reading (hoping to get a kindle soon – I spend way too much on books!!).
Anyway, Happy New Year and good luck!

Hi and Sorry so long since i have visited.
Babies have a way of being so cute and needy that they do seem to absorb every waking moment. then that leads to feeling so tired.
Advice?
go out . Hire someone . When she is in bed if you must.
Just for 2 hours. It makes a huge difference. No Corey talk while you are out.
dont neglect your couple self. THink of it as a Corey investment.
