Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. ~Oprah Winfrey

Wow!! I can't believe its 2010 already!! I cannot wait to see what this year has in store...The last year was overall awesome. I love watching my dear daughter "K" getting bigger, growing up and constantly learning. Spending time with hubby has been great too...We seem to be able to argue less and enjoy each others company more as we are getting older. Christmas was A.W.E.S.O.M.E. K is at the perfect age...she had all the excitement that should come with Christmas.

However, the end of the year could have been better!! December was a super busy month for me (as well as everyone else I'm sure). My parents were coming on December 17 for the Christmas holidays...the second Christmas in 10 that we have spent together. So, as I am cleaning up shop and organizing and getting ready for their arrival (which I am a procrastinator, so everything was done in the last few days), there was a little glitch. On my way home from work on December 14, a perfectly fine day-no snow on the roads, sun was shining-I was thinking of picking up "K" and going for a little walk with her when we got home, when some guy decides to run a stop sign. My first accident. Needless to say, dealing with police, insurance companies, and garages took up a LOT of time. They were thinking of writing the van off, but in the end, the van was worth more than they had first anticipated. So, $4900 damage later and almost 3 weeks later....I am still waiting for my van....

I also had a birthday recently. The big 2-9. haha...only one year away from dirty thirty, which I was dreading...but it turns out 29 sucks!! I had a regular appointment for a physical scheduled...an obligation more than anything else, cause I've never had a health issue in my life. So, imagine my surprise when I show Doc my hand (which randomly breaks out into blisters), and she decided to do a biopsy on it later that day, she found out I have a heart murmur that I have to get tests done to check on it, and...in my sample provided, my white blood count is low and some blood in my urine. I have to drop off another sample next week. I went back for my biopsy that day...and when it was almost over...I made the mistake of looking over just as she was pulling out part of my hand and the blood started flowing. Long story short...I had to stay for an extra 20 minutes with my feet up and a cold cloth on my head.

Anyways, enough complaining for now!! Cheers to 2010!! May it bring me back my van, my health, and be full of greatness all the way around!!
