Blackeyed Peas and more

Happy New Year. Yes, I made and consumed Hopping John on New Year's Day. I have not yet pruned the rosebushes. (Today is not looking good for that either due to the stormy weather). It will get done. I have not and probably will not make formal resolutions. I am working toward becoming more organized and keeping on top of things. I organized my 2007 tax file last night...earliest ever. I continue to purge an area here and there: filing cabinet, coat closet, etc. Trying to acheive peace in the homespace. Thinking about my classroom and being more organized, less bogged down there as well. That is it. We'll see what the new year has to offer and deal with it in a competent, proactive way. Simplify, simplify, simplify.
