This is what we need INSIDE the new house:
For anyone wondering, here’s a picture of the progress on the new place. SweetGuy and I are a little embarrassed at how big it is, especially in comparison to the Mini-Mansion. The new place did not seem this big when we looked at the builder’s drawings. Go figure. It’s a little too late to change now.

Yesterday was January 12th and it produced the first real snow of this Winter season. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah that the snow held off so long, that is. And, it produced another first for SweetGuy and I, but not a first we’d necessarily have put on our life lists. By the light of our car lights, we got to do this last night:
We shoveled the entire INSIDE of our house.
All in all, I think I’d rather be vacuuming.
On an unrelated note, Happy Birthday yesterday to my much older brother, who will always be The Favorite. We love you, Tom, and don’t know what this family would do without you.
I did something very, very important this past weekend:
That’s me. In my sweats. At the mini-mansion. Watching football.
It understandably won’t mean much to the rest of you, but I love playoff football and since my BC (before children) days, for one reason or another I’ve never been able to watch an entire weekend of the NFL playoffs, thus it landed on my life list. With a little help from SweetGuy and sacrifice on his part – we only have a couch and two kitchen table chairs in the entire mansion, and I hogged the couch – I accomplished my dreams this weekend. Hey, dream low, avoid disappointment! Actually, though, it was pure bliss being 100% lazy through all those games. I liked it so much I might do it again this weekend.
In checking over my life list I also realized I was able to cross off 1) Ride a Moped 2) see the Kansas City Royals stadium and 3) Celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in 2011.
I can’t say much good about 2011. But, on my life list for 2012 will be to make it better than last year. Aim low and you can achieve just about anything, maybe.
