Calculated Inaction : It's simplicity itself. (posted Jan 5, 5:33pm)

Earthmovers and Sandcastles by Carrie (32)

Tonight : Why can’t I have one of those kids who wants to tell me everything that went on while he was away for the day? I know, I’d complain then, too, but at least I’d know what’s happening in his life. A mama is supposed to know, isn’t she? I swear, it’s not from lack of interest on my part. (posted Jan 5, 5:23pm)

The project, it hath begun ... : Sorry to you, holidailies. I really meant to keep up with the posting. No baby references today (ahem). Other than that, though, we're doing fine. Very, chocolatey, purply-pumpsy fine! (posted Jan 5, 4:18pm)

Groovy Mom by Groovy Mom (24)

Keeping Organized : Every year I buy a calendar/organizer to carry with me in my purse. But not every year do I utilize it to its full potential mostly out of laziness/procrastination. (posted Jan 5, 3:37pm)

Cold Spaghetti by Holly (32)

So what is it that you do? Part One : And as much as population geneticists will jump up and down screaming about things like 'continental racial categories' and the higher incidence of genetically-related disease in certain groups (say, sickle cell) – the bottom line? All our genome work has us coming back again and again to say that genetically, we're all pretty much the same. (posted Jan 5, 3:11pm)

Quick Tips to Save the Day : A Few Guidelines for Email Etiquette … but really it should just be known as common sense. Unfortunately, life doesn’t seem to work that way. (posted Jan 5, 2:57pm)

Kristina Wright: Musings of an Insomniac Writer by Kristina Wright (28)

2009 Writing To Do List : ust some things I would like to accomplish this year. Not resolutions-- goals. Subject to change. I’ll make periodic updates on my progress. (posted Jan 5, 2:10pm)

Poppymom by Robin Wheeler (26)

And On to the Next Thing, Already! : You know that after Jan. 2, I reserve the right to remove your holiday decorations in any manner I see fit, right? Even though I dearly love the coffeehouse where I’m sitting, if I had a lighter I’d surely be burning the glittery gel stickers and plastics snowflakes off the window beside me. (posted Jan 5, 12:21pm)

Once Before... by Glasswalker33 (26)

All Good Things : I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to get all this to work together, or even if I should try. I started watching the first half of Season Four (the final season) of Battlestar Galactica again. (posted Jan 5, 11:51am)

Mary and Bob's Journal by Ruth (27)

Today is the day : . . . I felt sort of sneaky posting my goal at her blog, without mentioning it here. Within hours, I realized that I was going to have to 'fess up to my own readers and let them know this is a concrete ambition. . . . (posted Jan 5, 11:47am)

what to do.... : with all those holiday cards you've been saving for years and years? Same for stacks of used old birthday, thank-you, and get well cards? Send them all to St. Jude's Ranch for Children, where they will be recycled into new cards for the coming season. Complete information about the program can be found here. Card donations will be accepted up ... (posted Jan 5, 11:01am)

Visible Woman by Linda Ball (32)

Feature Creature : You could ask a lot of things, but be careful if you do. Because change and 'improvement' can slay efficiency and simpliciity. (posted Jan 5, 10:11am)

Funny the World by Bev Sykes (32)

Failings : It seems like my whole life, and probably my relationship with our kids (it's no surprise that Tom always comes to town and stays with friends instead of here) has all been shaped by the one huge failing in my life -- I never learned how to organize, clean, or keep a house orderly. (posted Jan 5, 9:45am)

A Cat By Any Other Name by Jenipurr (31)

Vacation's end : ...with quite a bit of laughing and good natured quibbling over the rules (which, according to the game itself, is actually mandatory, so we were only doing our part to follow instructions) (posted Jan 5, 9:22am)

Between The Prose by Belle (30)

Reprise and Solace : At that point, why in the world would I pay for a subscription and get nothing from it but a redirection to a site where I’d just have to pay additional to get what I want? (posted Jan 5, 9:14am)

Markings: Days of Her Life by Margaret DeAngelis (30)

A Little Taller : I moved about alone among strangers tonight, having my last look for a while at The Starry Night (the exhibit is moving to Amsterdam until June) and at Starry Night Over the Rhine probably forever, since it is on loan to MoMA from a museum in France. (posted Jan 5, 9:06am)

Rhubarb by Sarah (32)

The One Thing I Want for Holidailies 2009 : The one thing I want for Holidailies 2009 is to be able to sort the left-hand list by writer, by blog name, or by frequency of entries. That said, I really want to thank Chip and Jette for hosting Holidailies. It is a wonderful achievement, and a great way to meet other journalers. (posted Jan 5, 7:22am)

On the Road Again : It’s an emotional roller coaster to live so far away, and for the most part, it’s the only emotional roller coaster I have left. (posted Jan 5, 5:20am)

Assume Nothing by Alice (32)

Giving Back : We all need to and would like to help, but sometimes money and time restrains make this not possible. These links are a great place to help those less fortunate than us. All it takes is a click a day to help. (posted Jan 5, 5:13am)

Chronicles in Culinary Curiosity by Dolores (13)

Cookies to cure the common cold : If you bake nothing else, try these chocolate chip cookies. They're FAR more satisfying than Nyquil. (posted Jan 5, 3:30am)

The Electronic Replicant by Erik (21)

Weekend Review : My goodness, what a weekend! What a dull weekend! I have decided that I should get out more, but am not making this a New Year's Resolution, as that's a sure way to ensure it does not happen. (posted Jan 5, 2:24am)

Spirit of Bees by Jo (16)

Hollidailies Blah-Blahs : And naval gazing is out because it no longer interests me. Instead, I'm too busy gazing at the sidewalk in front of me scoping out physical obstacles, happy to live my life day to day and not fall down and break something. (Now, you see, if I worked at it a little, that thought could be turned into a comic ... (posted Jan 5, 12:55am)

Citrus pork chops : Tonight, I made a dish that seems to confound people for the simple reason that it combines two very unlikely ingredients. (posted Jan 5, 12:07am)

Tumbled Down by T.R. (31)

The Quality Threshold : The notion of writing a short novel in a month in itself makes me think of a saying in the service sector, with regard to products: “good, fast, cheap: pick two.” The three cannot co-exist in any deliverable commodity. (posted Jan 4, 11:51pm)

Tuna News by GreenTuna (31)

What Next? : Best of Holidailies I have to imagine that Mary would have had plenty to say about being pregnant and having to travel all over Bethlehem's half acre due to governmental bureaucracy. Heck, I whine for days on end when I can't put off my half-hour appointment with Turbo Tax any longer. (posted Jan 4, 11:10pm)
