13 Things I'm Looking Forward to in 2011

A little pressed for time, but for mostly good reasons this week. No time to give details, but I'm here to present

13 Things I'm
Looking Forward To in 2011

1) Right off the bat - in January - I'll be doing my first guest blog for Silvia Mazzobel's Book After Book blog. I'll continue doing guest blogs there for the rest of the year, too! I'm so excited!
Picture
2) Since Silvia is featuring Ask Me if I'm Happy in the "Books in Italy" Reading Challenge, I'll be giving away copies to two lucky winners! I'm really looking forward to that.

3) Also sometime in January, I'll be doing an interview with Christopher Allen - author of the I Must Be Off! Travel(b)logue and so many wonderful short stories and fantastic essays I've really lost count.
Picture
4) Finally, in late January, I should be doing another reading/signing of Ask Me... at the Lingua Point language school in Reggio Emilia, Italy.

5) If you're a member of Second Life, I'll be doing a virtual reading there sometime in the New Year, too.

6) The team presentation for Leopard True Racing will be January 6th. I won't be there in person. I think this is for the best.

Yes, you'll be hearing about them from me. Frequently. I apologize in advance.

Okay, that's enough from January. What about the rest of the year?

7) I'm looking forward to my 7th wedding anniversary on February 28th.

8) Cycling season is coming! It starts in January with the Tour Down Under, but really kicks off (for me) with the Spring Classics. Ooohhhhh yeah!

9) SHRIEEEK!!!
The Giro d'Italia is coming to Reggio Emilia again! The stage will start here after ending in Parma the day before.

Will I be there, you ask? Until the cops haul me away, yes, I will be.


10) In fact, hope to finish 27 Stages in time for cycling season - or more specifically, in time for Il Giro d'Italia!
11) I'll be heading to the US in late May/early June. I'm definitely looking forward to that - and hopefully I'll be participating in some publicity ventures for Ask Me if I'm Happy while I'm there!
Picture
12) I'll be in the US until August, which means I get to take advantage of my proximity and go to my friend Laura's wedding in Toronto!

This will be the church ceremony, not the civil ceremony - because she's doing that this weekend!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!


13) That same week in August, I'll be visiting a book club in Burlington, ON to talk about Ask Me if I'm Happy. I'm so excited! And thanks again, ladies, for choosing this book for your group. I'm truly honored.





Phew! That's a lot to look forward to!











And that's not everything, either. So far, 2011 is going to be a busy, busy year for me.



















I don't mind. I'm really looking forward to all of it.

















Besides, if I get tired...






















I could always grab a nap.

Ciao for now! Buone Feste!

@Stephanie - I did say, but don't worry. It slipped my mind too. ;)

@Harriet - I do indeed! (And I'm exhausted just thinking about it!)

@Heather - I'll have to schedule in the time to rest. LOL!

@Paige - glad ya liked it!

@Darla - thanks so much. And, you're welcome. ;)

@Alice - You know, that's the first time I've ever been called a lucky schmuck... But it was all just luck - really!

@Maddy - Awww...! Thanks! :)

@Savannah - it's not definite yet, but we're trying to work it all into our plans. Wish us luck! :)

@Yvette - I'll be in Tennessee, staying with my mom. I'll be visiting Lexington, KY as well, and maybe a few other choice spots, if I can manage it.
