It's not often that I can claim I finished a resolution the first week of January. (Heck, I usually forget about them altogether.) But this year, I actually made one that I was able to stick to.
I decided to buy subscriptions to three of the magazines that I buy every dang month. This might not sound like a big deal, but I gotta tell ya, I never subscribe to anything--I just pay cover prices! When you're a die-hard mag addict like I am, that gets expensive! Stupid, huh?
So, today I finally filled out those annoying card inserts that flutter everywhere when you're in the middle of reading an article, and placed them in the mailbox to be picked up. I'm super proud of myself.
It sure beats trying to lose fifteen pounds.

Two Thousand Twelve.
Happy New Year, Friends!
New Year's Eve was great fun. It started with amazingly beautiful weather, so Stefan and I took a bike ride around the James Island County Park. The park Christmas lights were having their last hurrah and we saw them one last time, late in the afternoon. We also spent time on the Fisherman's Dock by the marsh. So peaceful.
That night, we made the rounds. First, delicious local oysters at Bowen's Island. Then we headed to Folly Beach and saw the glamourous, sparkly pair of flip-flops that the City of Folly dropped on its NYE crowd. Just like Times Square, according to Genessa.
We finished the night with fireworks and hellos to our neighbors. Yesterday was lazy; today has consisted of cleaning and clearance shopping. I can't decide if I'm 100% ready to have a normal week this week, but it's coming whether I like it or not!
Here's to 2012...May we all follow our hearts.

Pajama Party.
Now that my gig at the book publishing office is over, I'm finding it exceedingly difficult to take off my pajamas and put on, well, real clothes.
I admit that i may be saying this prematurely. After all, it's still technically the holiday season, and a lot o' folks are not working this week. But it's not like I don't have work--I'm swamped with writing and editing that needs to get done. I'm just doing it from the comfort of my own sofa. Thus, I'm spending most of the week wearing cloth pants and sporting no particular hairdo.
I did get dressed for a time today, to drive my roomies and myself to lunch. But when we returned from the outing, I put my pj's right back on!
"Geez Denise, I see you have your pajamas back on," noted my roommate Dana, who's the type to never leave her bedroom without a shower.
"Yes indeed," I replied. "I'm feeling lazy."
And it's true. I'm lazy. The holidays wore me out, and damn it, I deserve a couple of days to recoup. I'm just worried that I'm getting a little spoiled. I even went to the neighbor's house tonight without changing. I did put on a bra, but that's about all. My neighbor said he wasn't offended by my lack of street clothes.
What about the rest of you? Do you get dressed to work from home? Or is life one big pajama party?
