HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here’s looking forward to a good 2006!

I saw a preview of the “Madness of Henry VIII” while watching the National Geographic channel last night. It looks like it could be fun. With all the programs about Elizabeth and the wives of Henry VIII, it will be interesting to see if Henry himself is the focus of this one, since it’s time for the ol’ man to get a show of his own. Now if someone would take an interest in some of the other Tudors (Henry VII, Elizbeth of York, Mary Rose, Margaret of Scotland, Margaret Beaufort, etc. … I wouldn’t mind some good Wars of the Roses programs either).

If I remember correctly, in the past I’ve put some “plans for the site” here on January 1st, so I guess I should do it again. Of course, a lot of the plans I’ve had in past years still haven’t made it to the web, so maybe my goal should be to just try to do more of what I hoped to do in the past. Seriously though, I’ve been downloading some journal papers over the past few weeks on a variety of topics, but I haven’t had much time to take notes and work on some write-ups for the site. Heck, I didn’t even get my Christmas shopping done until Christmas Eve this year! (Actually, it’s still not completely done, since my boyfriend and I still haven’t gotten gifts for each other yet!) It was a very busy finish to the year in 2005, but I’m not taking a class in the spring so hopefully that will free up a little more time. We shall see!

Have a wonderful New Year everyone!
