Writing more often

I am not sure what has been happening that I haven't been writing ... but I need to get better ... so lets recap what has been happening ...


Last weekend David and I got a new coffee table that is totally awesome ... a new end table ... and new hall lights ... all of them rock ... it was a great weekend ... and my coffee table is so great for scrapbooking I can hardly believe it ... and the new lights are beautiful ...


at the beginning of the month we made our first attempt at having a baby but alas it didn't happen on the first try ... I didn't really think that it would but it should would have been great if it did ... we are both so excited to expand our family of 2+cat ... :)


On Thursday David developed the most awesome lint catcher for the dryer ... it may not sound that great but we don't have a vent that leads outside so the house can get pretty dusty from all the lint ... his contraption is amazing ... and he put dimmer switches on our hall and entry lights which makes such a huge difference ... sometimes they were a bit too bright ...


This weekend I discovered [was told about by my brother] FreeCycle.org ... the site is amazing ... it is location specific ... and people list stuff they are giving away or things they are looking for ... so far I have given away our coffee table and someone is coming by tomorrow morning to pick it up ... and I posted that I needed paperback books and other items for care packages for our troops in Iraq and have gotten 4 responses from people so far that have things to donate ... so awesome ... the site is totally worth checking out ... it is like eBay for free ... I mean we had to get rid of our old coffee table ... it is in good shape and I hated to give it away ... now it will have a good home ... this will be a fantastic way to get rid of stuff that has piled up in the house that we just don't need anymore ... I highly suggest checking it out ... :)

2002 Recap

Well I guess a recap is kind of in order ... last year on this night I was out of a job ... living in a windowless basement with David paying a fortune in rent in NY ... now we have jobs and a new condo we should be moving into soon and some money in the bank ... I would say that is a bit of progress ...


I have found some fabulous blogs to read ... in fact I probably skew their stats cause I am always checking for something new to read ...


I live close to my family again and I think that makes everyone happy ... we are all getting along [i am the peace maker in my family] and we all do stuff together ...


David got his passport this year which means we can jet off to Europe sometime ... hahahahahahahaa ... yea we would need money and vacation time ... but if the opportunity arises we could go ...


Kramer still loves David more than me ... but I am alright with that ... they look adorable spooning with each other ...


===========================================


Now weird as it may sound I have been looking forward to 2003 for ages ... I have known it is going to be my best year yet ... so I am entering the year with that frame of mind ... I am not making any New Year's resolutions ... I tend to forget those as soon as I make them ... but I am going to make some changes ...


on January 2, 2003 David and I are going to quit smoking ... I am happy we are doing it but at the same time I can't believe we are ... I told him ... "this is the last time we are quitting ... it is too hard ... and I can't keep doing this" ... we got $150 in Target gift cards and spent $127 of it on Target brand patches [half the price of name brand] ... which is enough for the two of us to quit smoking ...


I am going to see if I can start using the treadmill in the morning before work ... I am not making any promisees to myself ... but I need to prepare for The Urban Challenge ... and it would be good for me ... and I have always said I would like to get pregnant after a year without smoking so it would be good to be in better shape for that ...


wow so much coming up in the new year ... woohoo it is almost 2003 ... I'm so excited ... :)


HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you out there ... :)
