It’s 2009 already? How did that happen? It’s no joke, time really does go faster as we get older.

It was an uneventful ringing in the new year here. I was exhausted and went to bed at 10pm. James stayed up and watched some TV. We still have Rockin’ Eve on the DVR and have yet to watch it. Same with the Rose Parade from New Years Day. Yeah, I’m into it. I have good intentions anyway.

All the hoopla surrounding New Years doesn’t excite me. I like looking forward to a new year and new things and renewed attitude. But starting it off with an exhausting hangover is so not my thing. I’d rather be cozy at home.

We’ve lounged around and gone sledding and have been eating ourselves silly since then. Just the way things should be on winter break.

Tomorrow school is back in session and I need to get back to the gym. I’m feeling like a sloth. It’s nice to be lazy but I have to get back into the groove.

I’m feeling really excited about photography right now. I’ve been using my new camera some and really loving it. The snow reflections make for some nice bright winter light. I’m looking forward to spring but I also enjoy frozen photography. We’ve gotten plenty of snow but not too much frozen. In most cases that’s a good thing!

I decided to take on Project 365 again this year. I will be taking and posting a photo a day for the whole year. Last year I got off the wagon in August when things got just too busy. I hope to make it all year this time! I was going to post every image here but I started another blog for my photography clients and friends to also see. I don’t want to double up on posting [or server space] so I’m just going to add a link in my side bar for PROJECT 365 in 2009. Here is the direct link: http://www.heidismithphotography.com/blog_p365_09/. Check it out from time to time – there will be some cool stuff there!

So what else do I have in store for 2009? A booming business, much love and fun with the kids, a happier, healthier, better me. I’m not a resolution maker, I just aim every year to be better than the one before and for me to be a better me – however that might be.

Best wishes to everyone in the new year!

Some pictures coming soon –  I have some to upload.
