Goodbye 2008!



It's been a great 2008 with my first book, I So Don't Do Mysteries, finding its place on bookshelves. Thank you Random House. I had a wonderful year with the Class of 2k8. My family is happy and healthy and enjoying life.

Yes, I am one of those people who makes New Year's Resolutions. The only one in my little house this year.

Here goes:

1. Take vitamins daily.
2. Exercise 3x weekly.
3. Watch a movie a month. (or more)
4. Return library books on time. (or suffer the consequences*)
5. a resolution to do with stopping to smell the roses and having more fun time with the kids**

*to be determined

** I know this one needs lots of work. But....I'm hoping that as I hop around bloggyville and read everyone else's resolutions, it will all come clear. :)

We wish you and yours a happy and healthy and prosperous New Year!

I'm looking forward to keeping up with you all in 2009!

  5. I'm a resolution maker as well. I make personal ones as well as writing/professional ones.

    Here's a little something that'll brighten your day: the Houston Public Library has I So Don't Do Mysteries on order. Still working on Harris County.

  9. Great resolutions, and not too unreasonable, though it's sad that stopping to smell the roses is the one that seems most questionable. Come on, Barrie! Sniff 'em up!

    Also, can you work out for me, too, because I'm great at taking the vitamins.

    Happy New Year!

  12. Your book sounds so fun! Something I would probably like now, but definitely would have loved as a teenager.

    And if I ever actually make that corn dog jello, I will let you know.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I will return!

  17. Happy New Year, Barrie!

    It was great getting to know you this past year.

    I'm going to steal your resolution about Library fines... I call it my 'tab' when I go to pay. When I walk in the library... all the librarians shout 'Brian!'... just like Norm in Cheers. It's embarassing.

  18. Will have to get your book! Sounds wonderful. And congrats on getting it published and on the shelves.

    Happy New Year!

    Good luck with the resolutions. I'm still refining my goals and new schedule. Just added 'Relax' to the weekend mornings. :-)
