Why not…

I’m taking it from scottynola, who took it from docbrite…

Five things I did for the first time this year:

got a two-book contract on my own
evacuated for a hurricane
sold a short story
talked to Greg Herren on the phone
met five new (to me) authors in person

Five things I’m looking forward to in ’06

the release of Someone Like You
the release of my first solo novel
Saints and Sinners
two new great-nieces and/or -nephews
more rest, less stress

Best household additions in ’05

River
digital camera
wireless
little couch in office
wooden blinds

Five things within my grasp that delight me

Margot and Guinness
coffee
mouse & keyboard
Another Janet Evanovich mystery

Five things I lost in ’05

sleep
five more pounds
hope for a certain manuscript
the setting for Three Fortunes in One Cookie
red reflector on my car bumper

Six people who really had my back this year

Tom, as always, but there is no way I can limit this to six. My support system is phenomenal.

Six things I should be doing rather than writing this list

Writing
Reconciling my bank statement
Paying bills
Calling my mother
Answering e-mail
Putting decorations away

Blitzed

You Are Blitzen

Always in good spirits, you’re the reindeer who loves to party down with Santa.

Why You’re Naughty: You’re always blitzed on Christmas Eve, while flying!

Why You’re Nice: You mix up a mean eggnog martini.

Five Weird Habits

I was tagged by Christina.

Ground rules: The first player of this “game” starts with the topic “Five Weird Habits of Yourself” and the people who get tagged need to then write a LJ entry about their five quirky little habits as well as state the rules of this game clearly. In the end, you need to list the next five people you want to tag.

Five Weird Habits:

1. If I talk when I’m mad, I don’t use contractions.
2. If I find out there’s a dog in a movie, I won’t watch it unless someone can tell me the dog doesn’t die.
3. I will go to great lengths to avoid walking down a flight of stairs or stepping off of a curb.
4. No matter how tired I am, I can’t fall asleep without reading something–even if it’s only a page or two.
5. I need a steady noise when I sleep. A fan is best.

I won’t tag you, but I’d love to see your weird habits. =)

Becky needs…

So y’all have probably seen those posts in which people have gone to google.com and written their name and the word “needs” in quotation marks for a search. You’re supposed to put the first ten responses in, but I’m just listing my favorites from the first few pages. Here is what Google tells me I need.

Becky needs to get her skates sharpened.
Becky needs to get to work.
Becky needs your attention.
Becky needs to turn her life around.
Becky needs more people like you on her side.
Becky needs consoling after a humiliating experience.
Becky needs a wardrobe upgrade.
Becky needs to know that her boyfriend is screwing my girlfriend. (My top favorite.)
Becky needs a nanny.
Becky needs help.
