Happy New Year!!

Generally with a new year comes resolutions. I never make them, because inevitably something happens and it doesn't work out. So this year I have decided to make a few goals:

1. spend more time for myself- either knitting, crocheting or reading, goal of at least a half hour a day
2. have a girls night out once a month so I can connect with other women, which seldom happens currently
3. eat healthier. avoid eating out if possible and to cook healthy food for my family
4. start playing the piano again
5. get involved in some sort of sport, whether it be intramural soccer or church softball

Also with the new year comes our anniversary. Josh and I have now been married 4 years as of January 1, 2007. craziness. It feels like forever, but yet it also feels like it went by so quickly.

Hope you all have a fantastic 2007!

Almost Christmas and I've purchased exactly one gift (not including Josh's gift for his work gift exchange). This is typical of me waiting til the last minute, but we won't be doing much more gift buying due to finances, but that doesn't matter too much to me. I'm not big on presents anyway.

We got our Christmas cards in the mail yesterday, just a few for relatives that really don't get to see the kids. Got those addressed and mailed out last night. This is the first year I've done cards and I think I'll try to do it every year.

I cut Michael's hair last night, first time I've done it solely by myself. It didn't turn out too bad, but of course their are those bad patches cause he moved. Oh well, thankfully his hair grows quickly!!

I have an abcessed tooth which hurts like the dickens. We don't have any insurance until after January 1, so waiting for that to get it fixed. In the meantime, I suffer. Some days it hurts, some days it doesn't. The thing that kills the most is when one of the boys unknowlingly whacks their head against this particular cheek and hits my abcess. OUCH!!!

We now have our itty bitty Christmas tree up, along with some lights around our window and door on the inside. mostly because the lights burnt out in the light fixture in our dining area and we just keep forgetting to buy new light bulbs. ooops! but at least it looks pretty, right?
