This is what you've been waiting for all year, folks - the definitive directory you won't find anywhere else.
My 'Naughty or Nice' List:

Naughty
1. Alarm clocks - no explanation needed!
2. 'Pages feed' in Facebook - a recent development that means you rarely see updates from liked pages (such as mine) in your Newsfeed - unless the pages' managers pay to promote them
3. Unreliable cars - I've found myself waiting beside a country road in the hot sun TWICE in the past month!
4. Writers' block - otherwise known as 'writers' distraction', otherwise known as 'the Internet/ Facebook'
5. In-frequent bloggers - er... that would be me!

Nice
1. Free Kindle e-books - my 'to-be-read' pile has morphed from a small hill into Mount Everest!
2. Berry smoothies - I heart my new blender
3. Funny internet memes - anyone laughed at a 'Mayan Apocolypse/Oreo cookie parody recently? :)
4. Coffee - something of a necessity for night-owl writers like me
5. Living by the beach - I won't elaborate, or you'll be even more jealous.

So, what (or who) is on your 'naughty or nice' list this year? Share in the comments, or on my Facebook page.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

    I just want to buy toothpaste.
    Instead, I'm standing in the supermarket aisle for five minutes trying to select from tartar control, fresh breath, whiter teeth,
sensitive, herbal, or whatever - each in several different flavours.
    It's enough to send a time-strapped consumer positively loopy!
    And don't get me started about Christmas gift shopping....!    
    Apparently, being indecisive can be a good thing - or so this article about Jonah Lehrer's book 'How We Decide' tells me. (I haven't yet decided if I believe it, though. :) )
    Which brings me to the point of this post - making decisions. The main one being (at the moment, anyway): what topics/themes do you, my dear reader, want to read about in my blog posts?
    So far, I've been blogging about random bits-and-pieces, prior to the 10 Keys for Happier Living.
    What I really want to know is, after all that, are you happier???
    I am. :)
    And I'd be happier still if you completed the super-quick survey below. I'd love to know your opinions and deepest thoughts (well, not THAT deep, lol!).
    Alternatively, you can share on my Facebook page.
    Thanks. :)
