Did y'all enjoy your holidays? I came up with a new word to describe my holidays. LAZETASTIC! One week, I was so extremely busy that I didn't even have time to comb my hair, and the very next week, I had days we didn't even have to leave the house, hence, I again didn't comb my hair. It was fantastic to be so lazy.
Here's what my hair looked like by the end of the holidays:
Are you guys excited for a new year? I am, because this is what is going to happen in 2012:
1. The Killers are going to release a new album. And it's going to rock. (No actual release date or word if they are actually recording, but I'm counting on them to give me music to write to. Come on Brandon, don't disappoint me!)
2. The Wilder Times series is going to make it on the Amazon Best Sellers list. How is this going to happen? Because of you, my friends! All my awesome friends will tell all their awesome friends to read my (awesome) books, and they tell their awesome friends, who tell their awesome friends ... and you get the picture. So thanks for helping me sell thousands of copies. You guys are great! (Hey, who all got e-readers for Christmas? I'm loving mine!)
3. Also, another writing-related prediction, I will publish two more books this year. ( But I have to write them first. Holy ambitious!)
(You know that's not my writing, because I would never use such a cliche. Nor would I use anything but a mechanical pencil. Or a computer.)
4. I'm going to go on a vacation. A real vacation, where I actually leave the house (I'm fully aware that I'll have to comb my hair). Somewhere warm and sunny.
(I can buy mouse ears and cover my hair if we go there, so it's a win win for everyone.)
Of course, #4 is contingent upon #2 (not that #2, gross! The #2 on this list). But hey, no pressure. Don't feel like you have to go out and buy 10 copies of my books and hand them out on the street corner. I'll survive if I can't go on a vacation, especially since this is our last year on earth.
#5. This guy is going to win the election.
So what are your predictions for 2012? And it's okay to be overly optimistic (#2 again), because what's the point in being awake if you can't daydream?

And just as every year previous has proven to be, 6) this new year will be the best one yet!
Missed you, too, Lori!
1) I will read one or both of your books : ). I have to get them first, but once I do, I'll read them, and then recommend them to everyone I know. Oh yeah!
2) Hubby and I will change our names to DOCTOR AND MRS. LOVELL!!! (as opposed to Mr. and Mrs.)
3) I will become a piano teacher for kids other than my own, and make big bucks teaching beginners how to play (I can only teach up to my own level, right? Still...)
4) I will curb my addiction to reality/competition TV shows like American Idol, Biggest Loser (which I'm watching as I write), X Factor, So You Think You Can Dance... OK, this one is NOT going to happen ;).
5) I'll second the Mitt Romney vote. Go Mitt!
Jessops: I'm super excited for #1 too! It's going to rock!
Bakerfam: #1 will be in MT, right? And I'm really rooting for you on #3.
Seiperts: I'm glad you went with the glass half-full version. When #3 happens, maybe we can go together!(Disneyland, here we come!)
Devree: You amaze me! 8th in your class? What the cow? How do you do it? And #5 is ridonkulous. I'm rooting for you on that one!
Anne: #1 ... I think we should change the location of the family reunion!
Paulashawn: you are hilarious. Want to author this blog next week?
JazznJenna: I LOVE #2. I wondered what you were doing all the way back East. You know, MT is always in need of new dr's! You could be my neighbor, then I'd lend you those books you need and you could teach my kids piano. Perfect!
I predict that sometime during 2012 I will once again start getting more than 2.5 hrs of sleep at a time. Due to the above mentioned, my brain cannot come up with any other predictions!
