With 2oo8 drawing to a close within a few hours (depending on where you are), many people are looking forward to 2oo9.  I kind am but kind of not, it be my last year in my 20’s, the lil one will be entering into the trouble two’s. 

I’m bringing in the new years a tad different this year, kind of looking forward being stuck at work making time and a half. With the new year comes a new yearly budget , doing a mega cleaning around the place, and resolutions that never work. For me instead of resolutions I make goals and so far each year I’ve been able to finish each goal.

Not sure what it is, but whenever you receive a present days after christmas and or your birthday, it some how always becomes your favourite. Well Tuesday (yesterday) I received some photos of the lil one that taken back in October when she was 15 months. Lets just say my heart melted when I saw one picture and she looks so much like my late grams. With that being said, I’m SO glad she does not look like my ex at all. She’ll have his height but hopefully that’s all.

Hope you all have/had a great new years.

Hope everyone had a great christmas/holidays. This christmas was very unique for me as my extended family didn’t want to chance coming over for tree/breakfast as our subdivision was really bad and living on somewhat of a hill doesn’t help when you have a foot and a bit of snow, you know it’s bad when some SUV’s were belling out/getting stuck. Sure the main roads were bare but it’s always the side streets that are the worst.

I really enjoyed how small and relaxing the day was. We are having our family/friends gathering (err lunch) on Saturday as we didn’t chance doing anything last night for dinner. Being snowed in was nice.

Now that the christmas hub-bub is over for another year, I can rejoice. I grew up listening to christmas music from December 1st to December 25th but now when I hear it I just want to scream. Working in retail setting all these years, I hear the same songs over and over again. Why can’t they just spend the extra money and make a tape (or whatever) of christmas music that will loop every 16 or so hours instead of 4 hours. Plus there is only so many times you can listen to the same song being played by a different artist.
