A couple of years ago, my husband and I started a tradition. On New Year's Day, we make a list things that we think might happen during the upcoming year. We seal up our lists and put them on top of our bookshelf (mainly so I won't sneak and read them in the middle of the year!). Then on New Year's Eve, we get down the lists, open them, and read them to each other. It's a lot of fun to see how right (or wrong) we were. The most correct predictions I've ever had were 3. Anyway, I thought I'd share my 2007 list, which was opened this evening (I would share Jeff's list, too, but his is boring. Heh!):

Hillary Clinton will gradually gather steam and will seem to be the front runner for the Dems in the 2008 election.
(Wrong, sorta. It's basically a 3-way tie as we get ready for the "Hawkeye Caucii" next week.)

The Indianapolis Colts will win the Super Bowl.
(Correct! I love Peyton Manning.)

There will be an assassination attempt on either the President or Vice President.
(Wrong, thankfully. Don't know what kind of morbid mood I was in while writing this list last year! But you really never know what those crazy wacko libs might try!)

Missouri and/or Illinois will experience an earthquake of 5.9 or more magnitude.
(Wrong again, thankfully again. I think I based this on a television special I saw. Scientists believe that this area (the New Madrid fault) is overdue for a strong earthquake. But then again, some scientists say that humans are causing global warming, so you have to take these things with a grain of salt.)

Kate Winslet will win an Oscar.
(Wrong. I don't even think she was nominated for one. She deserves one, though! She's played several really great roles.)

There will be 2 hurricanes hit the U.S. but they will both be a Category 3 or less.
(Wrong by 1. Only Hurricane Humberto hit the U.S., as a Category 1.)

Rush Limbaugh will not win the Nobel Peace Prize.
(Correct! He should have, though. Lord knows he's done more for peace than this nutjob.

Someone from California or New York will win on American Idol.
(Wrong. Jordin Sparks is from Arizona.)

An actor will pursue the 2008 Republican nomination.
(Correct. Honestly, I think we had already figured last year that Fred Thompson was going to throw his hat into the ring. So this was an informed guess!)

So there we go. I got 3 right again this year. It's time to start writing my predictions for 2008. I have a few in mind, but as usual, they will just be guesses. There's no way to know what might happen over the course of an entire year. Let's just hope it's all positive stuff!

Happy New Year!

Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer (592 pages)

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (512 pages)

My new blog is less than two days old and I've already been featured on a popular website, SteynOnline! Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating my accomplishment of fame a teensy bit, because I didn't do much to earn it. All I did was link to Mark Steyn's great book, America Alone, on my 2007 Reading List.

I finished reading the book just a couple of weeks ago. And in complete honesty, the only reason I gave it a 9 out of 10 instead of a full 10 was because I had to read it in chunks. I couldn't take it all in with one gulp; it was so chock full of fact and wit, it had to be sipped. It was a fantastic, informative read, although unnerving and somewhat disheartening to see the facts laid out in such stark light that indeed, one day in the future, it may well be America alone. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, just read the book.)

Pssst, Mr. Steyn: In case you happen to drop by, thanks for the link. You are a brilliant and brave man. Thank you for standing up for the truth and for refusing to stop writing about it even when the going gets tough. You have the agreement and support of millions.

That is the question. I personally plan to make some rather significant changes in my lifestyle in 2008. Eating better (and less), exercising more (just a little, at least!) and just trying to be a more calm, organized, and "together" person. I have always loved the "clean slate" feeling of a brand new year. It's like getting another 365 chances to make things better, you know? So I guess I am making some resolutions, technically, since I am starting my new habits on 1/1/08.

What about you? Are you planning on making some changes in 2008? Below are some links I found pertaining to resolutions to help you decide if you haven't already!

I Love You, Ronnie - Nancy Reagan

But "Tickled Peach" instead! Welcome to my new blog!

I've been blogging on and off since 2003. Actually, I was probably "blogging" way back in 1994 when I started getting online, creating web pages, and keeping a diary of sorts via different sites. Blogging is a hobby for me, one that discovered me instead of me discovering it, if that makes any sense. So during this past summer, when I totally stopped caring about my blog or wanting to even do anything related to blogging, I kinda figured something might be wrong, because that just wasn't like me. I had somehow lost my joy for blogging. I thought it could be burnout. When you do something daily for 3+ years, burnout can become a definite possibility. I tried starting new blogs, coming up with different names, using various layouts, attempting anything I could think of to make blogging interesting to me again. Nothing seemed to work. At all.

While it may have been partly due to a case of blogging burnout, it turned out to be more. Since sometime in July or August, I have been sludging through a bout of depression. I don't know what triggered it, all I know is that had to be what it was. Not only did I lose my joy for blogging, I wasn't really fulfilled in anything I did - work, chores, reading, crafts - things that usually make me happy or give me a sense of accomplishment held no charm whatsoever for me. Nothing seemed to help me crawl out of the fog. I even asked my doctor for some anti-depressants; however, I ended up not getting the prescription filled because I wanted to beat the depression on my own (plus, I didn't need anything that could cause weight gain, trust me on that).

Over the last couple of weeks, I've noticed an improvement in my general attitude and energy. I'm still fighting off feelings of sluggishness and apathy, but I at least feel now that I can conquer this. Depression is icky. I do not recommend it. It makes you not give a crap about anything, and that is just not fun.

Anyway. 2008 is about to begin, and I'm going into it with hopes and prayers of happiness, prosperity, and just plain goodness all around. I have big plans for next year, and I'm not going to let some silly chemical imbalance stop me from achieving what I want out of life. I will turn 30 in March, and I have this deep down feeling that my 30s are going to be my best decade ever.

So, yes, I've started another blog, but this one different in that it isn't tainted with a sense of burden. I have started "Tickled Peach" because I want to, because it is fun to me again. And after these last few months, that's big.

In 2007, I discovered that I really enjoy reading memoirs and biographies. Fiction will probably always be my favorite type of read because of its escapist qualities, but there's something special about reading true stories of other peoples' lives. Some are inspiring, some are a bit sad, but most all include some lessons that can be applied to our own lives. So for 2008, I have joined the In their shoes Reading Challenge, where I have committed to read 5 biographies/memoirs. My list is below, and I will check them off as I read them.

1. Abigail Adams: A Biography by Phyllis Lee Levin

2. Angela's Ashes: A Memoir by Frank McCourt

3. Elizabeth by J. Randy Taraborrelli

4. George and Laura: Portrait of an American Marriage by Christopher Andersen

5. Gone with the Windsors by Laurie Graham

Labels: Reading

One of my goals for 2008 is to not purchase any new books. For the entire year. I have dozens (okay, I admit... hundreds) of books that haven't yet been touched, just sitting on my shelves, waiting to be read. I simply shouldn't be spending money on more books when I already have a gracious plenty, practically my own personal library. To keep a nice focus, I'm joining a few book challenges for 2008. The first one I've signed up to participate in is the TBR (To Be Read) Challenge. The idea with this one is to get some of your older books off your shelf by choosing 12 of them to have read by the end of 2008. We can also pick 12 alternates, just to have a few more to choose from in case our original picks don't tickle our fancies. I'll be checking off the ones I've read throughout the year. So here's my list:

My 2008 TBR List
