This year is starting off strange and a little rocky for me, but at least it's only up from here! (Crosses fingers with gritted teeth.)
WMT news-wise, I'm not as ambitious as I was last year in the WMT 2013 post. For 2014, What Mandy Thinks itself may grow or stay the same but it's not going anywhere and that's all I know for sure. I hope to get more Small Talk posts with a few of my blogging friends done this year since only one for last year makes that section lonely and sad.

(Ok fine, sweatpants are always pleasurable, just not exciting enough to blog about, yes?)
On a LIGHTER note...
Keeping a consistent and on-time schedule for each post is something I'm going to really take seriously since my backlogged list fills me up with shame on a daily basis. I also may finally get one of my novels out there (or attempt a manuscript and see if one of my former English teachers doesn't laugh at me over it), so if that occurs this year I'll blog about it for sure.

"I recently got laid off from my full-time job. Regardless
of why or how it ended, I've felt like a miserable fat failure of a
human being. I had no back-up plan besides a side job or two. How was I
going to live with no income? There is NO way I will ever file for
unemployment because I was raised with the notion of 'find ANY job to
make ends meet and only use unemployment as a last resort.' I decided to temporarily become a..."

I am sure you would make an awesome blog post about sweatpants!
