According to my trend of not posting, it would appear that we just skipped over Christmas and New Year's. I haven't blogged anything since the Series of Unfortunate Cooktop Events. We did have a wonderful Christmas and New Year's which included going to church and eating black-eyed peas (which are equally spiritual.)
However, I won't review the holidays in detail as it is now 2012 and half of those holidays happened in another year.
The most important part was that over Christmas, we visited family in Georgia and South Carolina. Now that we are on the East side of Old Man River, I am a happy camper who can just drive to my people's homes as opposed to flying American Airlines and wondering if my Purell is going to exceed the liquids limit.
Here's a question: Who else out there refers to their family as their "people?"
And another one: Do you also know where your people are from and where other people's people are from?
Sorry for the digression. The sugar from my Christmas stocking is still affecting my brain.
This week I have been on a mission to get some things done. I have sort of resolved to get them done, not a resolution, per se, because I don't do those (mostly because I never follow through and then feel like a big flop and mire in self-scrutiny by about mid-March, which, is not good for the rest of the year,) but more of a goal (which oddly reminds me of supports and makes me twitch.)
I also should sort of resolve to improve my grammar and not turn run-on sentences into paragraphs.
But, ANYWAY.
Here is my checklist. Some of it will happen over time. I figure if I put it on the Internet for the few of you who read this, it makes me accountable and it will also stare me in the face every morning I log on.
1. Finish painting. Our tenants left the usual wear and tear and a few colors of which I am not a fan.
2. Replace cooktop. See previous blog posts.
3. Replace carpet or find some sort of magic carpet spot remover.
4. Hang pictures. Yes, it is sad. We have been in the house for months now and the only room with pictures is the master bedroom. I want to hang things differently which is why I put it off. I need to figure it out because all the plain walls are depressing and not very inviting.
5. Decorate the porch. It has wicker chairs and new cushions, but I need something on the door. It needs fluff.
I'm sure there is something else that I've forgotten. When I remember it, I'll add it to the list.
What about you? Any plans, resolutions or sort of resolutions for you or your people?

My magic carpet "potion" 1 part ammonia to 4 parts hydrogen peroxide. I usually put it in a spray bottle and spray it on the spot and scrub it with a scrub brush. We rent our house and it got out some creepy stains that were here when we moved in.
My list probably could, and should, be a mile long. There is so much to do here but alas, no motivation.
