Daydream Believer

Welcome back! I missed you guys. And welcome 2012. It's so nice to meet you, even though you will be the last year we ever know (or so they say).

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:
 

Anyone know of a good conditioner?

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 may even take the family along. And if that's the case, this would be the picture I need to use:

(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?
