Is this a resolution I see before me?

I’m a serial blog-starter-upper. I know there are worse things to be, but apart from adding “killer” to the serial bit Mr Scott, my mock-husband, struggles where I am concerned, to identify them.
I have a problem sticking with the project. I’m not so much wallpaper paste as completely flakey. So this year, 2011, I have [...]
