I’m pregnant and due in early 2019, so I’m just hoping that we all make it through the year healthy, happy, and relatively sane

I want to finish a needlepoint stocking for my son – it’s Santa riding a dragon. With flames.
I’m hoping to finish moving into my new place (my first home!) and then work on my TBR list in 2019.
I hope to take more sewing classes and improve my skills. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m hoping to do more yoga and reduce my overall stress level. We’ll see how that goes?
I’m looking forward to taking a real vacation with my husband (and leaving the kids at home for the first time).
I hope that I get a job so I can move out of my parents’ basement. Lesser priority items include actually starting the multiple sewing projects I bought supplies for, and attending yoga classes on a regular basis.
I’m definitely hoping to carve out more time for relaxing and reading next year. I just don’t seem to have enough time in a day! LOL
I hope that 2019 will bring the return of honesty, civility, and respect for all to our country.
In 2019, I hope to finally be happy and not stressed 95% of the time. Life has pretty much always sucked (even when I was a kid) and I would like at least one year when things aren’t constantly in flux. I thought 2018 would be that year, especially things got better mid-year, but then there was a complete 180 and things sucked even more. Between the shitshow that is American politics and personal issues, this has been a dumpster fire of a year.
I’m starting a cool new job in January, so hopefully things will be better, but I’m not optimistic.
I would like to have more books. I mean, don’t judge me!
My hope is that kindness and good manners come into vogue in 2019.
I’m excited to have a well deserved holiday to Great Britain in 2019.
I hope the Bitchery have a safe & happy holiday season!
For 2019 I want more books.
What do you mean I have enough? One never has enough books!
I have a ton of friends who are going through rough times right now; breakups, divorces, medical stuff, deaths in the family, etc. I am also affected by some of those. So I hope most of all that 2019 is easier on all of us, we overcome our challenges as easily and gracefully as we can, and my friend’s grandbaby is born cute and healthy and happy.
For myself, I want to spend some more time for me for a change. Even if its a quiet afternoon reading, I need to make more time for myself.
For my family- keeping them healthy and safe is a biggie after we had family members have surgery and health scares the last few months.
My hope for 2019 is more time with my daughter. She just “retired” from gymnastics, which means I will finally get to eat dinner with her more than once a week. Yay!!!
I’m hoping for positive progress in my health and career.
Hoping 2019 brings more time with family and friends, and a cleaner house 😉
My life got nutty this year and I barely saw anyone not family- or work-related, so I’m hoping to spend more time with my friends next year.
Thanks to the SB ladies for the week of awesome giveaways! Wishing everyone in the Bitchery a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Joyous Kwanzaa, Bright Diwali, and Good Yule!
work less and read more 🙂 thanks for the fun giveaway!
Keep my mental health in a good place and maybe train my pup not to jump on people as much.
I want to get some crafting done now that I’ll have all my stuff in one space and that space is mine.
Decluttering the house is my priority for 2019. We made progress in 2018 by having our kitchen redone and purged containers, pans, and food that we weren’t using.
For 2019 I hope for peace, strength and compassion in my life. I want to make more meaningful bonds with people and focus on taking excellent care of myself.
I am starting a new job in 2019 so I hope to do a great job! I would also like to achieve a good work-life balance so I have time to read and use my new bag!
My hope is for my kids to find jobs that they love. Thanks for the great giveaways!
I take care of my mother who has Alzheimers and my hope is that I am able to keep her home with me as long as possible
I hope to read at least 75 books next year. Also, a few personal goals but mostly I want to read good books.
I hope that my sister and her husband are able to find work before 2019. His former employer let him go just before Thanksgiving and they’ve both been looking for jobs since then.
Being a better friend.
My hope for 2019 is that my return to academia (grad school!) after an over 10-year break goes smoothly.
One of my big hopes for 2019 is to figure out a way to develop some new friendships. Maybe I’ll take a course at the community college or find a local book club.
I hope to be successful in my new role at my job this year, moving from podcasting to radio.
And I would love to be successful with this gorgeous bag on my arm.
I’m hoping for more Truth and self-actualization in 2019.
I’m hoping for a bedtime story read to me by Sam Elliot, summer at the Michigan shore, a good country music concert, drinks with the cast of SEAL Team (but Mark Harmon can come along, if he wants), more fun and laughter, and more time with the folks I love.
I hope for a healthier year for our family.
I hope to give more and take less.
I hope that everyone who took part in this giveaway gets what they hope for.
I hope that I figure out how to clear off my bathroom counter enough that I don’t have to lean way over the sink on my tiptoes anymore to effectively brush my teeth (I actually DO understand the clearing part; I just don’t know where to put everything that I don’t throw out…).
I want to become healthier and read more!
