Deja Vu

Well.  Here we are again.  I’m a big fan of New Year’s resolutions (that’s not to say that I keep them…fingers crossed?), and one of mine for this year is to keep in touch better.  That means logging into Facebook daily, Skype, email, real mail*…

Here’s the thing.  I have this huge stack of long, long (I mean yong) partially-written posts on various important topics: the trips we took last year, my incredibly complicated feelings on the country in which we live, etc.  I can spend hours staring at those, or writing and deleting and writing and deleting—and they feel like homework and hang over my head until I avoid this thing altogether.  So I’m going to keep it simple, with little posts about daily life rather than these terrible marathon numbers.  You may never see a full recap of our trip to Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore.  Or the one to Indonesia.  Or even the little ones around Vietnam.  But a picture here and there?  Maybe a few sentences?  Doable.

 

*Want to guess the number of postcards I sent last year?  I’ll give you a hint—it’s a nice round number.  If I were going to place an emoticon here it would be the one with big red cheeks looking at the floor…
