A Whole New Meaning

I had no clue it had been 'that' long since my last post. Does anyone else still read this thing ? :)


Our lives have been extremely busy. House is still on market, but only one showing in over a month. We're thinking of taking it off the market for another year. Haven't made our final decision YET.


The rundown of other stuff:
- We will celebrate our one year anniversary together in May !! I'm trying to come up with something to give him that's meaningful. I'm thinking DVD with 365 slides (365 = days in a year) that tell him reasons I love him. Corny ?
- Ethan's signed up for kindergarten. Hard to believe. We have the first supply list too...fun stuff ahead !
- Daycare is going up yet AGAIN. Up to almost $656 a month. Ouch.
- Just got good news - my old car loan is PAID OFF. Had a call last week said I still owed $1200, and get a letter in the mail today saying it's paid. That's all the proof I need.
- We're going to a 25th wedding anniversary party for his aunt/uncle this weekend. We got a really great gift (we think). I'll post pictures over at Flickr once the bow is tied on it. We shopped at Pier 1, Sur La Table, Michaels and the ABC store to get all the pieces - a huge bowl (fixed like a gift basket) with dish towels, bottles of margarita mixes, the liquor to go in it, salt and sugar for the rims of the 2 new glasses also included. Stopped in Michaels and got the cellophane and ribbon to put around it. They're gonna love it !
- Rob's having oral surgery Friday. They're going to have him under for 4 hours. Taking 2 teeth out, skin grafts, stitches - OUCH ! We stocked up on Jello, yogurt, broths, bottled water and Gatorade. And, we've got plenty of ice for the ice packs for his face.
- Mom is doing well. Thankfully. She's got her first symptom of the cancer medicine (Nexavar). The bottoms of her feet and palms of her hands HURT. She's been wearing slippers (ordered Crocs and some type of slip on shoes from Lands End that hopefully she'll be able to wear). Her blood thinner has been working good and otherwise she's doing well.
