Happy 2006!!! (long post)
Lets see...where should i start?
happy new year to all of you and here's to a better year then the last.
with that said....im just hoping for a year without being sick one way or another. 2005 was a very long year for me in that department. yeah i know it could have been worse...and my illnesses were minor in the sense it wasnt something worse that I didnt recover from or even worse die from. its just that nagging feeling of being sick...the constant aching, throbbing, coughing...i can go on. but enough said about that...i just want a healthier year.
I dont like making resolutions cuz i never seem to make them complete. I do however this year have a couple things I would like to improve upon even if it just a little bit.
one being....cutting back on my sugar intake. I know that bit of weight I have regained is due to my enjoyment of Pepsi. I drink lots of soda and I know I have to cut back but have a hard time doing so. I keep saying I'm just going to switch it over to diet soda so I dont go through the caffine withdrawls and still get the fizziness of the drink. but I still cant get myself to do it. but its going to happen.
other goal is to try and be a little less lazy with housekeeping. I tend to put things off until its so bad it takes me forever to do or I just dont want to do it at all and then have to recuit hubby to help me so it doesnt take so long. dishes and vaccuuming the house are my main problem areas. if I could get someone to come into my house every morning to do dishes for me I would.
Another goal for both me and hubby this year is to purchase a new car. with all the problems we have had with the van over the past few year it's time. we have to....we are putting more money into it every year and it just keeps getting worse. so....we are hoping by april we will have us a new car.
now the mushy stuff. I love having the new year come in and being in love. I went so many years being out of love with my ex and just not happy. this is my fourth year to be so lucky and have love that makes me smile and feel very thankful I found it again. hubby does this for me. I believe he is my angel in life and he came to me (or I found him) at just the right time in my life when I thought it was over. I can go on about all this ....I have such a big smile on my face right now thinking of all these things but im not sure how to put it into type without sounding like some freakshow of love. lol I LOVE YOU SWEETIE!
Kiddo has grown up so fast this past year and she continues to improve with school and seems much happier and not so worried about bullies. she is turning into a young lady right before my eyes ...the little girl is slowing growing up....but she will always be my baby no matter how old she gets.
2005 wasnt all that bad. we took our first big vacation since becoming family. we spent 23 days on a road trip across the States. we drove from PEI to California and back making stops along the way. one big stop was the grand canyon...yep it was a big hole...but the first time you see it...it takes your breath away. of the 23 days on the road I would say 17 of them were over 100f degrees....it was hot! got to spend time with my family while in cali. and also spent time with my mom and hubby in las vegas....we had a great time.
i also got to see some very good friends of mine i love dearly... Robert...my partner in crime from work, Judy and family...who were there for me and my family when kiddo was born...a family that couldnt be more caring and such good friends, and Alice...another friend that i dont know what i would have done without through my divorce. she was there for me and i love her for that. i just wish i had more time to spend with each of them. there is never enough time when on a trip and have to fit everyone and everything in to a small amount of time.
this vacation cost us a lot...but it was all worth it. we want to do this trip again ....so we are hoping to do it in 2008...we figure every 3 years is good and should be enough time to pay off the last.
enough rambling on ....
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my blogger friends i have made through the past year. i find it odd that i can call you my friends even though we have never met in person...but i read you everyday. i smile at your happy times....and im sad during those hard time for you also. i do hope someday that we will meet....you are very close to my heart and i hope for that to continue in 2006.
big hugs to you and much love
