Oh, right! It's a new year!

Hello, 2011!

I am only about three weeks late in my "New Year/reflections on the past year" post. I don't usually have very much to say in this blog though. This will be a slightly random post.

My only New Year's resolution is to READ MORE! It is my own fault that I don't read as much as I used to. I really want to read, but I let other things get in the way. All the time. So, this year, I am working on that. Less tv and more books!

I love my free Kindle App for this reason. I don't need an expensive Kindle to read a Kindle book! And I love that. I have been finding old books and historical documents- all free, of course- and downloading them. I also found a romance novel for free, completely by accident. I was wanting to read a different novel by the same author and when I clicked on this one, it said the Kindle Edition was free! I stayed up til 1 reading last night! It was really nice to be reading again, even if it was just a romance novel for fun!

One of my goals is to study up on American History more, and Kindle definitely helps with that goal. I just need to make myself read and study and take the time.

Another goal is to read the Bible and also journal and, especially, PRAY! WHy are these things so hard to do?

Sewing, cooking, knitting, and cleaning out the basement are the rest of my goals. that last one will probably take an entire year, so that's why it makes the list!

I am also planning a trip to the UK in the spring, so I need to save my money! But I am now headed to a book sale! haha.

And one more thing on shopping. Thanks to my sister, I was able to buy a $20 Amazon.com gift card for only $10!! I love that! SO I am also going shopping on Amazon soon.
