Bring It On 2012

New Year's is just around the corner and I'll admit, last year I had a slightly more pessimistic outlook on the whole 'resolutions' thing. But this year I'm feeling way differently. Let's do this thing 2012!

Ten Things I Can't Wait To Do in 2012:

1) Meet my new sweet baby/become a mama of two! (My official due date is June 4th. We are finding out the gender on January 16th!)
2) Finish writing my fourth book. (A horror, spoooky! SO FUN TO WRITE/PLOT OUT.)
3) Witness Lily's transformation into Big Sister. She is so going to rock that casbah.
4) Keep trying to get published. (A little more patiently this year! Less worry more writing.) DREAM BIG OR GO HOME PEOPLE.
5) Watch proudly as my husband begins his radical new business adventure.
6) Practice watercoloring and other fun art things. Currently super-inspired by: deep space, the ocean, forests (always), insects (always), and candy. (NOT ALWAYS.) (Okay always.)
7) Read awesome new books and re-read old favorites.
8) My annual 're-arrange/organize the house' extravaganza. And when I say that I only do it once a year, I'm totally lying.
9) Try out new recipes to add to the Grimoire of Extreme Yummy-ness.
10) Doing cheesy and dorky things with my family of three. (Oooh yeah, in a matching-fanny-packs-at-Disneyland sort of way.)

Compared to this time last year, I feel refreshed, I feel excited, and I feel....hungry. Or maybe that's the baby telling me that it's time to go stuff my face with last night's Chinese.


May your new year be filled with color, beauty, and happiness.

Anything you guys are looking forward to in 2012?

I would definitely want to read one of your books.

I am looking forward to exploring more of Colorado and surrounding areas this next year :)
