changes.........

god, i went for over a month without updating. i am thoroughly ashamed of myself as i should be seeing as i promised frequent updates. although, honestly, there hasn't been a lot to discuss. christmas came and went uneventfully, new years some fool was shooting a gun off nearby and when i went to stand out on the balcony to watch the fireworks i nearly got shot. works been busy to say the least but things are starting to get back to being somewhat "normal" although i’m not sure i’m looking forward to normal; normal is too slow and my hours will get cut.

in the near future the hubby and i have a family vacation coming up. i’m looking forward to it, i’m not sure if he is though seeing as we're going with my parents (his in-laws) but hopefully we'll make due. also we have house ownership looming in the near future. we'll be interviewing agents all this week and my husband seems to already have his sights set on a house just a couple blocks from our current location. i don't think we're going to end up with what we expected or closely resembling what we want which is probably why i haven't been too excited about the process. maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised, i hope so.

and as far as new years resolutions go, i didn't really make any, i probably should have though. god knows there are things i could improve upon. maybe i should just do something simple like promising to finish anything i open to drink, that would make the hubby happy. there are things i’d like to do, but i feel like some of them would require way more effort than i have to put into them right now. i could be content with my current snarky, sarcastic, and skeptical outlook on life, but somehow i feel that my husband expects more of me.

on the positive side of things, for christmas i got a new computer with the works as well as surround sound for my mp3 listening pleasure including a subwoofer (which i can't completely enjoy while we're living in this apartment, even more a reason to hurry and buy a home). also i have discovered deviantart.com and now that i have the processor power and a 17" flat screen monitor to enjoy the view with, i’ve been spending hours of my free time clicking away and wishing i had the talent and the know how to achieve what they have.

on a side note, earlier this week i drove by a dick blick (art supply store) with my mother and i mentioned something to her about loving the smell of new office supplies like crisp new note books and new packages of fine point roller ball pens. my mother looked at me like i was crazy. my reply was, “well why else do you think i liked shopping for school supplies?”

–catch ya’ll on the flip side!
