HAPPY NEW YEAR! Not really a big deal to us. Last night was just another day. I had to work all day and I was very busy. Steve stayed home with Piper and went and got stuff to make chili for supper. When I got home from work I mixed up the chili and Steve took an envelope to the post office for me. We ate supper and watched 2 movies. WOW - they were alittle different movies. We watched Super Bad and Hot Rod. Both pretty stupid if you ask me. BUT both of them had some pretty funny parts that made me laugh pretty hard.

Then we woke up to the snow today. We went over to one of the neighbors - they have a New Years breakfast. You get to visit with the other neighbors. Steve tried backing out on me. He said he wanted to snow blow - and I could go over and visit. (since he isn't the social type!!) Well Piper and I went over and breakfast wasn't ready yet and so we visited for awhile and then it was ready and Steve was over by then - so he DID have to visit with some of our neighbors. We didn't stay long - Piper was too nosey around there house - which is how she is everywhere right now.

After breakfast we went to Kohl's. I don't usually shop there much - I never find much. But I need some new panties(they usually have my favs there) and I need nice white T-shirts. If you can believe this - I can't find nice white T-shirts. I have some from several years ago that have the nice satin rim around the crew neck - I love them. And can't find anything like them or something just as nice. Well, since mine are several years old they look several years old. So they did have some so I bought 2 to try.

It's a new year. I really hate the beginning of a new year. No holidays to get the day off work, my department has to get ready for our annual audit and just being stuck in the house. I have in the past made new year resolutions. I think this years resolution is just going to be to try to be a better person all around. Meaning - to my family, my co-workers, my friends and trying to be better at keeping my checkbook up to date. You know the mechanic who has the broken car, the contractor who lives in the unfinished house, WELL I am the accounting type with the messed up checkbook that never has all the receipts in it or is balanced. I don't feel like doing that when I get home. Shit - I look at numbers all day long!!! In regards to the normal new years resolution - loose weight. Hell, I have that one every year. I have weighed the same now for several years. But this year 2007 I did manage to lose some weight and just get me back down to my normal weight. I lost 22 lbs. this year(2007) - now if I could just do that in 2008 that would be great!!

Did you all notice the amount of trash your family produced at Christmas time?????? I could NOT believe it. I know it's always alot - but this year I really paid attention. And holy crap. All the packages that Piper's toys came in. Man - can't these companies put this stuff in some different packaging to help cut down on the trash. Its really crazy all the big boxes that they put stuff in. If you didn't notice this year - I will remind you next year to pay attention. When you really pay attention - you won't believe it.

Ashley texted us last night to wish us Happy New Year. And she texted us on Sunday night after she told her mom that she got the cell phone for Christmas. She claims her mom isn't mad about the cell phone at all. That is good.

If you make a new years resolution - let's hear it- post it on the comments. Let's hear how we are going to make 2008 a better year!
