2009

Since 2008 was a year of change, I think that 2009 will be a year of growth. We shall see.

There will be a lot of changes in the physical part of our house in 2009. We want to put recessed lighting up in the kitchen, change the ceiling fan in our bedroom and in the family room. Carpet the basement, put flooring down in the dining room, our bathroom and kitchen. Get rid of the back splash tile in the kitchen and laundry room. I would love to have some furniture in the living room sometime in 2009! New shower in the master bathroom. A new vanity with sinks in there too. Take the mirror down over the fireplace, take the mirror down in our bathroom and put up two medicine cabinets.  Whew. Don’t think that all will happen, but at least a few things may.

I’m looking forward to the photography business growing in 2009. I would like to work more than twice a month, but, I will take what I can get. :smile:

Trips include one to Ohio in March and one to Vegas in May. Other than that, not really going anywhere. I think we’re thinking of going to a theme park in the spring/summer. I would love to go to Busch Gardens at least once in 2009! Atlanta will be on the list once we know Jess will be there for a while. She would leave in June if they decide to go through with the consolidation. In which case, I’m sure she will be in Richmond again, so we’re leaving that alone for right now.

I will have 8 years under my belt, in February, as a blogger. That’s a long time to blog my life for everyone to see. I would like to import some entries in 2009. That’s one of the things I’ve been meaning to do. I do have them all on CD’s, back when I was on Blogger, then with Movable Type and Grey Matter. It’s easier to import the WP ones though, so I will probably do those first.

I will try on my wedding dress sometime in early May. After 25 years, I hope to get it at least on my body, even though I’m pretty sure it will not zip! I will be losing at least a pound a week, so I should easily be at my goal weight by then. The last time I tried it on was 15 years ago, when I wanted to wear it for our vow renewal at our 10 year anniversary. Didn’t work out, but, it may this time. We’ll celebrate our 25th anniversary of marriage in July, which is why we’re going to Vegas in mid-May. Too hot in July!

Tomorrow, the first of January, marks our 25th anniversary of our first official date! We went to Kennedy Space Center and had a great time. I still remember it like it was yesterday. We have some photos I will have to put online one of these days. We were in the astronaut suits for photos. :smile: We looked around for free, back in the day, it was a free place! We took the girls there a long time ago and saw everything again. It was when we lived down in Georgia, so in the mid-90’s. It’s not really changed that much though!

Tonight Greg and I will be staying in as I’m still sick with a head cold. Subway subs and probably a few movies to usher in the New Year. Jacqueline may be going to a party with her ex-Storm, we’ll see.

I hope to be well enough to head back to the gym by Friday or Saturday. Need to get moving on losing these last 10 pounds before May 1st!

Happy New Year everyone! I wish you plenty of luck, happiness, love and laughter in 2009 and beyond! :kiss:

Brain Dump

Scheduled an appt. for Greg to see the doc on Friday. Been nagging him for THREE days to see the doc, finally sunk in. He’s been having night sweats for a week, chills, headache. Headache and chills finally faded on Monday. I think the flu or pneumonia, maybe mono? He’s feeling better these  days though, Nyquil at night and no headaches during the day, more energy. I’m probably worried about him, I woke up with an upset tummy today, nursing a Coke. No gym for me today, feels weird to have more time in the  morning.

Need to put more photos up on SNP as soon as possible. I just put up the wedding photos from last month, last night. I have a lot of good ones from the past two races at MIR, need to make another gallery. Will try to do that this afternoon. I’ve been itching to get on PSP for three days with the  new monitor and video card. I may even load up PS, oh wow, eh?

Burned 3 DVD’s yesterday. All music is now backed up, everything business wise too. Graphics, photos are usually done monthly, for some reason I needed to do it yesterday.

Was contacted by a client last night for senior portraits! She got my card from one of the gals at the crop on Saturday. If it pans through, need to buy her a gift for referring. Meeting another client (hopefully) on Saturday in Springfield. He has eBay things to put up, antique knives and pens! How cool is that? Alisa, want to meet for a bit? If you are around that day I mean.  I’m thinking mid-afternoon. I need to go to Tyson’s as well to the Franklin Covey store and get some notepads and check register pads. Dawn, I know you are an hour away, but, if you can make it out, holler! Would love to finally meet you!

Finally have the Christmas card list in order. Want to exchange cards? Leave a comment and I will email you for your address. :smile:

I’m taking Violet to Target today while her mom is in class. I need to buy a new, smaller trash can for the laundry room. Simple yet will improve the space in there. The one we have is too big and gets in the way of things. Putting that one out in the garage where Greg can use it with the other one he’s got out there.

This afternoon I’m mailing out the auction that someone won yesterday. I have to put the Coach purse and wallet up on eBay this week, probably Friday if I get a chance.

I have yet to watch Desperate Housewives from Sunday, finish watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Ugly Betty from last week, CSI from last week, Prison Break from Monday. Just not enough time for everything I guess.

TTFN! Have a great one! :kiss:
