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 ... :)

not digging my blog
I am not digging my blog ... and I think David has gotten me sick ... but I wanted to work on it tonight so that I could post the new blog by tomorrow ... it may have to be something I work on new year's day and post sometime on the first ... if I can come up with something I really like ... we'll have to see ...
most admired women?
I got to work super early today because I drove instead of taking the train ... David is terribly sick so I had the car and figured why not ... I sign onto AOL [my only way to connect to the internet at work] ... and the first thing I see says "Something in Common ... American's say Hillary, J. Lo most admired women"
How can Hillary Clinton and J. Lo be the most admired women of 2002 ... please don't let me offend anyone but those are probably the two women I like the least in the world ... Hillary ... a woman who takes no stand against a cheating looser husband because of his position and what it gets her ... how is that a shining example ... it is despicable ... what kind of example is this to woman out there ... stay with the bastard ... that is bullshit ... no woman should put up with that ... no person should put up with someone cheating on them ... it is the lowest form of human behavior ... and what is it she has done that is so admirable ... I know she was on the committee to impeach Nixon and made some big quote about how the president shouldn't lie to the people ... then "stands by her man" as he lies to the people ... she gives herself diva status when she is really a servant to the people ... ack!!!!
and J. Lo ... I mean come on ... why is she so respected ... I believe there are celebrities that deserve the diva treatment ... but fucking J. Lo ... come on ... what has she done that deserves diva treatment ... and another woman with relationship problems ... not able to work through problems so moves on ... I couldn't be more sick of hearing about someone's life ... soon they will report when she takes a shit ...
