I swear my middle name should be "best intentions". I lack follow through. I have fantastic ideas and can usually get organized enough to follow through eventually, but never when I should. Unfortunately, this has followed me outside of the blogging realm as well. I buy birthday cards weeks ahead of time and don't remember to send them until after the birthday has passed. I buy scrapbook supplies and save things for scrapbooks, but as of now I still haven't even started the scrapbook for our wedding (we've been married 3 1/2 years!). Our office in the apartment is littered with pictures that need to be framed, my computer is saturated with e-mails that need to be responded to and the holidays are reminiscent of people that I want to get back in touch with.
I lack good time management. I lack the energy to follow-through with projects. I usually lack the stamps to send out the birthday cards with. And to make matters worse, my husband recently supplied me with the best procrastination material of all time - The complete Harry Potter collection that I can't seem to put down! I'm feeling a New Year's resolution coming on.
Before 2007 ends, my first goal is to blog an entire recap of 2007 so that I can fill my loyal reader(s) in with all of the changes and exciting things that have been happening to us over the last several months.
Time management - necessary as it is, the lack thereof does has some pros. I'm never bored. I have plenty to do if I ever find myself with extra time on my hands. It's exhilarating - I thrive on stress and have always been a last minute type of gal. Now the cons - I get in trouble at work for not maximizing my time, I disappoint friends and family, I've fallen out of touch with many people, whom I love and miss dearly.
So, a recap: I suck, I don't enjoy sucking, I want to suck less, 2008 will be a year of minimal suckiness!
Happy Holidays to all 2 or 3 of you - if I'm lucky enough not to have lost all of my readers, holiday love to you too. Happy Chanukah! Merry Christmas! Tune in next week for the 2007 recap prior to 2008. Can she do it? In the words of Bob the Builder, "Yes we can!"

I never saw B the B, but the Doozers back in Fraggle Rock had an entire "Yes We Are" (yes we can, yes we do, etc) song that is now stuck in my head for the rest of time, thank you very much. :)
Happy happy, and if you're serious, have you given www.flylady.net a try? Fun time management stuff.
Of course, my eternal vision of your home is strewn with toilet paper, courtesy of your cats while you were on vacation. That was SO funny...
LOL
Oh Carlye, it's like you were born to be part of this family! We all have good intentioned partially finished, or yet to be started projects lying around. Yaeli got her first birthday card (and it was really cute) EARLY even! Your nephew asks about Aunt Carlye and Uncle Sam every time he sees the truck on a differnt side of the driveway (smart kid!) You guys send the bestest presents EVER! You are the least suckiest Aunt Carlye ever and we LOVE you`Did you watch BtheB with Yoni? He just got a new Curious George CD which cautions that "George is a monkey and he can do things that you may not be able to do"
Much Love.
As for me-I had a personal courier service coming to New York (M&D Deliveries) and I still couldn't manage to get your Channukah presents to you. That sucks!
