Open Mouth, Insert Foot

I will be watching my first Super Bowl game in twenty-one years!

As Promised

The Great Vacation Photo Dump has arrived on Flickr!

I Never Learn

I know I say this every year but for the love of god WHY can't a girl buy a pair of SNOW BOOTS in JANUARY????

Mmmmm.... Demolition

It's January again and the dust is flying!



Say goodbye to the 70's style wood paneling in Ava's room! It was nice while it lasted... Sort of.



Oh yes, and more paint:



Now if only I could take a sledgehammer to that sink.

Back. Log.

We've been back for two days now and I'm still not done getting caught up with this thing called life. It probably doesn't help that I've unoffficially dubbed 2007 the Year of Organization so that's bound to make me feel daunted.

Coming Soon: The Great Vacation Photo Dump. Stay tuned.

Whatever Will Be Will Be

I'm not a fan of making New Years resolutions because it seems that making an official declaration all but confirms it will be broken within the week. However, I do have a few small goals that I will be working toward in the coming year. I will pretend that they are something completely different than resolutions. Just go with it.

1) Be more responsible financially and put more money into savings/investmensts.
2) Stay the course with my health goal on being in my best shape ever when I turn 29.
3) Continue working on and improving our home.
4) Slowly organize and wrangle all our mountains of stuff- photos, videos, files etc.
5) Not to feel guilty when spending more than "x" amount of time on myself. (Whether it's something creative or just lying on the couch reading a book.)

Oh yes, and of course I will pay more attention to my languishing blog. And hopefully go to Vegas. And spend one weekend watching all three Lord of the Rings movies back to back. But now I'm just getting sidetracked...


We are headed to Florida for the next week for a little post-New Year's vacation. Hopefully we will not be dressed like this:



See you soon!

Happy 2007!

This is what happens when you let a three-year-old and two six-year-olds stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve.
