Write, promote, write, promote, visit grandkids, write, promote, write, promote. And it just circles around! The main thing on my to do list is either get an agent or get a big publisher interested in a book.

Write, Write, finish losing the rest of this weight, write, write, lose weight, write, write...see a pattern?

Love your list. I'm getting my purple whip out to keep you on track. ;)

Glad to have you back blogging again. :)

Great lists ladies! And a purple whip Eli? You're slipping! It's pink silly.

Finish the d@mn book sure tops my list. That and edit the damn book and submit the great book. My list is shaping up much like yours. I hope you get to Scotland! Edinburough is the most beautiful place in the entire world! No hot Scots there though, not sure what that's about...

Finish the current novel.
Work on the next novel.
Umm... less procrastination? I think that should be my only target really. More focus, less procrastination.

Great list Lisa!

I'm going to zip myself into your suit case when you go to Scotland, okay?

My list? Hmm...

1. Zip self into Lisa suitcase and get free trip to Scotland.

2. Break the no drinking alcohol rule and drink all of Lisa's Catto Whiskey.

3. Sit in a cleared out corner of Lisa's house and laugh at her as she attempts to clean her house.

4. Sit in a cleared out corner of Lisa's house and laugh as she tries to train her little angel not to eat her own poop.

5. Give Lisa great tips on getting healthy while I sit in said corner and laugh and eat chocolate and stay fat while Lisa gets svelte. Hey, maybe this isn't such a good one to put on the list. Hmm...

6. Get a passport. Yeah, this is for real. I'm supposedly going to Mexico with DH and friends. I'll believe it when I'm there, baking in the sun.

7. Lift up an attractive Scotsman's kilt while in Scotland with Lisa. Tie a blue ribbon around his "laddie" and see if he'll let me play with his pipes. What? I meant bagpipes. Geez!

8. Sit in said corner and watch Lisa exercise and tell her how she's doing it all wrong, and no, I won't get off my butt and show her the right way. Whatever.

9. I'm growing my hair again too. :) Cool!

10. Beg Lisa to hurry up with that whole "make chocolate help in weight loss" goal.

Wow, I'm gonna be busy this year. I'm tired just thinking about it.

Seriously Lisa, great list and I wish you the best of luck with it!

I'd be happy to help you on the hunt for weight-loss chocolate. I'm all about field research.

Happy New Year!

Why Chocolate is a diet food. :}
First of all dark chocolate has been found to lower blood pressure and balance insulin levels in the body-great for your heart and as we all know if you are stressed, its harder to lose weight.
Secondly-well I'll make you a deal-I'll tell you why chocolate is the number one diet food if you put me in your suitcase when you go to Scotland!!!
Oh and my list is write write write-actually get published write write write lol

I hope you make it to Scotland. It's absolutely the most WONDERFUL place in the world. I live in TX but I'd pick up and move tomorrow if I could. I wouldn't think twice about it.
