New Resolutions...

The last couple of days have seen a few changes with my blog...  I've decided to make a few blogging resolutions (Yes, I know, late, but I've never believed in New Year's Resolutions anyway.  So blog resolutions in February aren't weird or late to me).

1. Set up a more definite schedule - I have Music Mondays and Quote Wednesdays, but need to either commit to or drop Weekly Highlights, Booking Through Thursdays, and Top Ten Tuesdays.  I really like the idea of the Wordless Wednesday (pictures instead of writing) and the Mailbox Mondays, but don't know if I want to commit yet.  I'll get back to you on that.  Plus, I want to start writing (fiction pieces) more and feel like I need to commit it day or a day every other week to that.
2. Connect with other bloggers - In the past week, I've had 10 people I don't know comment on my blog.  Very excited about this turn of events.  But I need to do better at commenting on and supporting other bloggers.  So every day I'm going to focus on one of those commentors by reading their blogs, commenting, and adding them to my GoogleReader.  One down, nine to go!
3. Get my reading list set for the end of the month - Too many library books (~60) sitting on my closet floor and too many new purchases (~30 since beginning of year) sitting under the window.  I want to create a TBR list to carry me through the next two weeks.  Next up...?
4. Take more pictures to add - I feel very pictureless on my blog.  I need to add pics of me and my family, activities throughout the week, book purchases, and just pretty pics.  So far, the only picture taken by me is my gravatar photo.  The others are all from freedigitalphoto.net.  Great pictures, but I need ownership here.
5. Get my boys involved - They wrote a Thanksgiving post, but that's it.  They really need to work on their writing anyway and little blog entry every once in a while would be awesome.  C's daughter has her own blog now and my boys are really interested in reading it.  Hopefully I can get them interested in writing their own.
6. Encourage my friends and families to read - I think the only person that I actually know know that reads my blog is C.  (Thanks for the support!)  It really would be awesome to have more support from friends and family.  I'll try to talk it up.

Over the next week, I'm really going to focus on these resolutions.  I'll probably add an update entry soon.  Wish me luck!
