The Top Ten things about the new year:
10. 2 + 0 + 1 + 4 = 7
7 is a lucky number!
9. What is your favorite thing to do in January?
Sex and sleep don't count as answers to this question :)
8. It's been cold - even at the Tiki Hut!
Did you make a snowman? Snow Angel?
In the southern hemisphere?
How about a sandman or sand angel?

Why? Because I excel at breaking them.
6. But, this year I will ____________.
[Fill in the blank]
My answer: write more Top Tens!
5. A peek at why I don't write poetry:
I tried to write something inspiring; my muse sent this.
Blame her.
New year
New motto:
Drink beer
Play lotto
4. Goals
Have you made yours?
Mine are much more reasonable this year.
Bad News: I think that every year LOL!

I'm no poet either. You did better than I could.
And sex can't be an answer? Now I'm bummed...
Love your poem :) All the best in 2014!
No snow here, but so, so cold! And about to get colder.
Jemi - Best to you, too.
Diane - A leaf angel is perfect!
Elizabeth - It's mid-20s here this morning. Very cold for San Antonio.
Linda G - Glad you - and all of you so far - like the header. Obviously, I do, too. Linda K did a fab job!
Clarissa - The same to you!
New motto:
Drink beer
Play lotto
Or write a book about a crook
And a cop who's very dense
to keep the reader in suspense
Carol, I thought one good turn deserves another...or whatever.
Oh, and I agree your new header is awesome!
No snow in the Hill Country, but this morning the birds are skating on the bird bath. :)
Welcome back!
VR Barkowski
I tend to stay away from sandmen and sand angels they are gritty!
Emily - Thanks!
David - Love the poem :)
Hart - Our 20s sound like a heat wave compared to your negatives. Exactly so about resolutions. Love your snarfle :)
Stephen - Eewww on the rat. Grackles poked many holes in almost all of ours, but we got a few very sweet ones.
Yay for more Top Tens!!!
I don't think of myself as any kind of poetry writer either. But I admire those who do it well!!!
And, nope, I don't make resolutions. I have a few goals this year, which are keeping me offline for the most part, but they get priority right now.
Happy New Year, Carol.
VR - Cool! I hate to drink and play alone. I'm aware of how weird that sounds - LOL.
OE - So far, so good. Hope the same for you.
Delores - Thanks. Glad you like it.
David - You go to the beach, you take your chances :) Happy 2014!
Glad to know somebody else doesn't make New Years resolutions! Being a dog, I just think it would be a waste of time. My Humans think that I'm already perfect!
Y'all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
No resolutions and no goals for me. I'm too old for that stuff. What will be, will be. ;)
Linda K - Did you read how much everyone loves your work? Told you :)
EC - I've missed you and your blog, too!
L.G. - A couple of mine are getting priority, too. I think the header does a great job of representing my work.
Hawkeye BrownDog - Great to meet you. I share my life with a BlueDog :)
Lexa - Oooh, 'wicked shine' :) Love it!
Happy 2014 Carol and I always have fun with you lists.
Love,
Janie
Seriously, my only real resolution was to get to bed earlier most nights so that I get up earlier in the mornings. Then again, you might notice that I'm commenting on your blog at 10:45 p.m.
Happy New Year!
Like you, I've given up on the resolutions. I have in mind what I want to do and work toward those goals. Your header rocks!
Janie Junebug - LOL! Thanks for the warm welcome.
Helena - I'm laughing. I've been trying to go to bed earlier, too. And I'm having about the same rate of success :)
Joy - Have an awesome 2014!
Welcome back.
Julie
Medeia - Awesome!
Jo-Anne - Oh, no! Hope your headache is gone today.
Julie - You're so kind!
Lynda - Thanks! It's good to be back :)
Julie L - Your comment appeared three times. I left them up. Maybe it's a blessing :)
LOL about the poetry. That sounds like something I would write.
I'm glad you're back. I've missed the top ten...now I have to remember it's on Mondays or I'll be late every week. :)
And in my 89 degrees F temperature, it would have to be a sandman!
Welcome back!
Awesome header!
You top tens are in my top ten of top tens.
I missed you, Carol. Did you miss me? I know, who is this guy? LOL
Welcome to 2014.
Gary :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's good to have you back again. It was even frigid here in Georgia earlier this week. Down into the single digits. Totally unacceptable! But it's supposed to be back to the sixties by Friday.
Love your lists!
And I didn't build a snowman but I did shovel an area on the back deck so Sophie could pee without tying to squat in the snow higher than she is.
Shelley - Thanks. Happy 2014!
River - Glad you like. I'm a Monday-Only woman this year. So to speak LOL!
Michelle - Nothing wrong with that.
Gary - I DID miss you! And Penny.
Tracy Jo - I never heard of freezing soap bubbles before. How fun! And pretty, too.
Susan - In your honor I placed a Tiki Hut by the poem near the top of the right sidebar. See?
The former header photo is now the banner on my regular Facebook timeline.
We had 19 Tuesday morning and 69 Thursday afternoon.
LD - Such a good mommie. Sophie thanks you :)
Southpaw - Thank you. I think you still have time.
And I have to say. I loved your poem. It reminded me of my trailer trash days as the county 'Possum Queen. Sigh, good times.
So glad to see you back, Carol. A belated Happy New Year to you. :)
Awww HAPPY NEW YEAR lovely Carole!
I think aiming to have more sex and sleep in 2014 are great resolutions to strive for and not break.
:-)
Take care

Old Kitty - I know Charlie and Gumtree vote for more sleep :)
Milo - Something like that , LOL!
