Resolutions, Writing, and Roller Disco

I was going to post some pictures from the holidays, but I think our camera took a ride to work with Brandon. That's all right. I'm actually holidayed out. We had a fun break, then just made it through some illness, and yesterday I finally took the tree and decorations down. I still have the outside lights to do, but it's cold out there!
So, what do I write about, now? New Year's resolutions? I completed a couple from last year. I feel good about that. This year I've decided to focus on what comes out of my mouth (kind words, prayers) and the things I do (inviting a happy spirit, seeking out purpose, serving others).
I also will be re-working a book I wrote about some personal trials we've been through (you may have read some excerpts in Drops Of Ink, below right). I will be trying a novel based on a true story... which I am finding difficult, only in that it is hard to give something so personal over to a fictional character. What do I even name her? I am finding writing very interesting that way. Fictional characters come to life for the writer. I've said this before. It is very odd and a little unsettling, but I love it. So, I'll try.
We are going to a disco-themed party Friday night, so I am going to visit the Bargain Box today to see if I can find some out-a-sight threads. Brandon will be sporting a fro, and I will attempt to feather my hair. Starsky and Hutch, Love Boat, and CHiPs, Bee Gees, and John Travolta, we salute you. We'll see if the pictures are blog-worthy... Does anybody have a white suit with a wide collar? Ooh... roller skates. That would be fun. Wish us luck!

Wow, just listening to this song... I'm skating around my garage in my bright blue sneaker roller skates, wearing my Charlie's Angel t-shirt and dark blue jeans with a fat comb in my pocket. Can you understand the lyrics? I've got the Night Fever part down. Ah, well.
Shelli, Mike, Me, and our cousins Sean, Jessica, and Cassi...
so excited about an afternoon at Skate King. Notice the hair is perfectly feathered. And yes, that is our awesome VW van.
