As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m most definitely looking forward to 2008 and hoping for better and happier times…

With that, I wish everyone a Happy New Year and many blessings for 2008.

May it be a prosperous and joyful year for all of us.

I think those Mac vs PC commercials are hilarious…

But….

Here’s a spin on it

No offense to you Mac users – just thought it was funny

How awesome is this?

I so want one

Man oh man…so much has been going on…

Husband has been out of work for almost 4 months now. Job market is just so slow right now. Hopefully the new year will bring about some prospects. It’s been hard and he’s (we’re) definitely frustrated, but we’re hanging in there.

In the meantime, we’ve been working on setting up our freelance web / graphic design business – might as well use the free time and do something productive, right? Still, that’s also hard, since I’m not able to help out too much, as I’m still working full-time and my job is super busy. But, it’s coming along.

Baby girl will be turning 2 in a few days and she’s definitely in her terrible 2s! The lil diva won’t stand for nothing! Everyone tells us it’s just a phase and she’ll grow out of it, bla bla bla, but damn, it’s hard to deal with. Potty training was attempted and well, that’s it. She thinks the potty chair is a toy, so we figured she’s not ready yet. Oh, and have I mentioned that she still drinks milk from a bottle and uses a binky? Yea, we have a lot of work to do – we know.

To add to all the madness, my father was just recently diagnosed with early alzheimer’s. He’s doing fine and you can’t really tell much difference, but it’s just little things here and there. We’re starting to learn to make small changes to adjust.

But, 2007 is almost over, so I can only hope that 2008 will bring better things our way…

What are you looking forward to the most this holiday season?

I know, I know… I haven’t been posting much and have been neglecting my blog.

I have much reflection to do and figure out my blessings and what I should be thankful for, but, I wanted to be sure and quickly say…

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

After a day at the beach – did I say a day? It was more like 2 hours, I think we spent more time driving to and from the beach.

It started to rain after being there only about 2 hours. But, at least baby girl got to play in the sand a bit and got to run around in the water a little before we had to leave.

So, anyway, after our lil beach escape and the weekend, it’s back to Monday and back to work.

Now, we just need to figure out what we’ll be doing for the 4th of July holiday.

What do you and your family like to do for the 4th? Fireworks? BBQ?

We’re enjoying some of this today. 

Here’s to a non-rainy day here in Florida.

Do you think it’s true you can find out a lot about your neighbor(s), just by looking at their trash?

Our next door neighbors just moved in a few weeks ago. Now, this is a brand-new, just built house.

The first weekend they were there, they pulled out carpet and had tile installed.

This morning, trash collection day, they had a bunch of empty boxes of hardwood floors out.

Now, I know this is horrible of me to think, but my first thought was, “They must have money”.

I mean, this is a brand-new, 2 story, 3 car garage house, and here they still have money to add tile and hardwood floors.

Yea, yea, maybe they had the money saved up in anticipation of the new home, but still, money is money.

What would the neighbors know by looking at my trash this morning?

Well, let’s see…

1. They’d know we have a toddler girl by seeing the empty box of Fisher Price Kitchen
2. They’d know we added shelves to her room
3. They’d know we keep the rest of our trash in the bin

What would people know if they looked in your trash?
