Back...with ideas

So, it's been a while since I did any life-related posts - it seems that this Frankenstein of a blog has mostly morphed into photos of crochet and knitting - but I would like to start doing some life-related posts periodically in the future.  Where do I begin?

In a lot of ways my "me" time has stagnated in recent years; I don't feel like cooking, I don't much feel like blog posting, and I have trouble finding time to get chores and errands done during the week.  I need to get back into that, because when I don't do those things, I sort of feel like my life is out of control.  (Even though living in a suburban townhome and working at a nonprofit is hardly "living out of control.)

I would like to set some goals for the next 12 months or so, and Dave is setting some, too.

Exercise more, including running and swimming.

Stick to a budget, especially with food.

Vacuum things (the carpet, the house) when it needs it.

Purge the house of items I have literally never used once in the 10 years Dave and I have been living together.

Find more time for romance.

Always be planning a trip.

Write letters.

Have fun.
