Why is Devon writing The Green Notebook?

Two reasons. Mostly. I have a blog--The Yellow Notebook--but have noticed that blogs with specific goals seem to shine. So I decided that I would blog about the next two-and-a-half years as we work REALLY hard at squeezing my husband through nursing school while randomly making money, consistently saving ourselves money, raising small children, writing a novel, dealing with the current economy, trusting God and deepening our friendships, et al. Watch the balancing act! Also, my friends have been complaining that blogs tend to be, well... life edited. So I am going to try NOT to edit out the things that make us a real family with real financial and other struggles. And in this ring...

By the way, I have not named my children "Boy" and "Girl." I just like to refer to them that way on the blog. I also refer to my nephew as "Baby."

And here is my tagline:
What economy? Or Diary of a Young, Urbanite, Apolitical, Lower-Income, Middle-Class, Writer, Foodie, Artist, Stay-at-Home Mom.

New Years in July

Since Chirstmas in July hits this time a year, I can't see how New Years wouldn't be close behind. So here are my resolutions, things that I did not make at the real beginning of 2011. Also, it has been bothering me lately that there are few important adult things that I just have not managed to accomplish, including the whole holidays/birthdays thing. Very immature. Oh yeah, and I heard Pooh Bear say today, "A resolution is a promise that you make to yourself." Inspiring.

Resolution One: I will make a calendar of birthdays and anniversaries of people whom I should know their birthdays and anniversaries and I will post it where I can see it and I will reference it regularly.
Resolution Two: I will get cards and gifts (whichever would be appropriate) to the people I should be getting cards or gifts to, when I should be getting them there, and per Resolution One.
Resolution Three: I will stop lashing out at people and be a severely less angry person by the time New-Years-in-July 2012 rolls around.

And as my daughter has shared with me:
Why did Tigger look in the toilet?
He was looking for Pooh.
Heh heh heh.
