Happy New Year

I hope everyone's holiday festivities proved to be a positive experience. I had my first holiday away from home. Let me just say that one of my New Year's resolutions may need to be an attitude improvement. It's hard to spend the first Christmas with the in-laws, but we are now finished, no one hates each other...too much, and I actually did have a good time. I even learned a thing or two. Rob and I volunteered to re-do the dining room walls at his parents house. I learned how to efficiently take down wall paper, and how to re-texture a wall. Though I do not agree with the paint choice--oh well it's not my house--I was happy with our work. I also was pleased as punch to find out that the annual New Year's Eve bash, formerly know as Rob's Rockin New Years Eve, was still held in our absence. Bravo!

Now back to that topic of resolutions. I have been listening to far too many radio announcers claiming that absolutely no one, sticks to their New Years Resolutions. So I decided to stick it to the man and make sure I stuck out a resolution all the way through the year. I have not yet decided what they are but I will give myself one more week to decide. I will ponder fervently on the topic during yoga tonight. Any Suggestions? Maybe blog more than once a year so that you all start reading this again?

Cheers to yearly self improvement!

Happy Halloween!

Boo! I absolutely love Halloween. I love costumes. I love all of the adorable kids with their tiny outfits, cute candy holders, and even cuter lisps and stutters when saying "Trick or Treat". I love the hype around something so silly. I love that we are ridiculous enough to choose to scare ourselves and that we make a holiday of it.

Today, because of the invention of Halloween costumes, I was able to wear sweats to work. That's far better then candy my friends. I was a Care Bear, specifically Good-Luck Bear. I teamed with none other than Bedtime Bear (co-worker Joleen), to win the couples costume contest. No big deal. Yes there will be pictures as soon as they are uploaded. We have quite the fall spread. So check back later for a Care Bear Stare like you've never seen before!
