The end of 2009

Each year at this time I wonder if I should make a list of things to achieve in the next year, and as each year nears the end I come up more or less empty. Now is "more or less empty" like being a little bit pregnant? It's a gloomy, humid day today and I can't get warm. I should welcome gloomy days since we have 99.9% sunshine where I live.  I need to get two things ready for January 10th when my daughter and daughter-in-law both have a birthday. I said I should, but so far I am doint nothing and the date is moving closer. Buddha's writings will tell you that doing nothing is doing something in which case I am doing a heck of a lot of something, but it's just not tangible. Windows 7 is throwing me for a loop, nothing is like the old laptop which had XP and was easy to figure out, not even the computer guy is that familiar with it, but he was able to get me on line again so I could get going, just haven't figured out get going to what, when, where, why and how? Okay so here is a partial list...get stuff to mail for the birthday girls, enter data in the new Brigitte Calendar Bernd sent from Germany. Straighten out the Christmas address list, exchange a jacket in Las Vegas and get some new clay and glazes, chemicals as well. Try to figure out Windows 7 and figure out the new photo program, the old one was simple and just right for my needs. At the top of the list should be "get going already, time is wasting".
