TCM's 31 Days of Oscar Moodboard

Olympics: Freestyle Ice Skating

Okay, it was only our family, and only part of the family, at that.



The photos in the post below were taken by my oldest daughter, Sabrina, who invited us to go ice skating during the Christmas holiday break. Her 8-year-old daughter Scarlett (below and in blue in the slideshow) is taking skating lessons at the local ice center and appeared in the ice show a few weeks earlier.



Mallory, my youngest, and I were accompanied by Allie, 7 and in pink, and Gavin, 5, who both belong to my second oldest daughter. Neither of them has skated, but they did a good job!

We Are the World: 25 for Haiti

Settling In

Now that 2010 has a good start--a snowy start for many of us--I've made some progress. Believe me, that in itself is progress.

A couple of weeks ago, I had this great idea to clean. You know, that deep clean kind of thing. After working at it for two days, I was tired and haven't gotten back to it yet. Instead, the AAs (author alterations aka galleys) for THE LAWMAN'S LITTLE SURPRISE arrived, so I focused on those. The deadline I was facing on February 1 for a book due out later this year or early next year was met, so I have time on my hands. Not a lot, but enough to do some smaller jobs that had been set aside.

My old blog (delaney.blog/roxdelaney) has been integrated with this one so all the posts are rolled into one blog. And if you haven't noticed, I redecorated both this blog (new color!) and my website. Amazingly, it took less than two days to put it all together. Sometimes I amaze myself. Too bad it didn't work that well with the cleaning. :(

With a little luck, I now have things under control and am settling in for the rest of the winter, meaning I just might find some time to blog. Wouldn't that be new?

Hope everyone had a wonderful start to the new year, and let's make 2010 the best we can!
