the last of 2006

Come see my jewelry! http://www.dazzleme14.etsy.com!

In a few short hours, it will be 2007.  I look forward to a much better year at work, a new and better job for hubby, more financial stability, little to no credit card debt, and so much growing for Kooky.  I don’t get too excited about New Year’s nor do I ever stay up until the midnight hour, but it is fun to reflect upon things.

In 2006, I…..
~went on my first and hopefully only strike at work.  We got what we wanted out of it, but it was a trying time.
~saw my daughter go through some big milestones.  Giving up the bottle completely, going to a toddler bed, so many teeth, and now talking up a storm.  I think I live with pete and repeat now the way she says everything that we do.  I told J it is time to watch our mouths!  I dropped something in her room, and since I have never cursed as a habit, I said "Oh, poop."  It came right back at me from her mouth.
~had the worst finances I think we have ever had together.  That can always get better!
~gained some old friends back.  That was nice, although I still don’t feel as though I have time for them!

Tonight, we went for what was to be a short visit with the in laws until they went out for dinner to celebrate their anniversary, which is tonight.  35 years.  They ended up inviting us, and we had that big gift card from J’s brother.  So the three of us joined them.  We both wanted to use it on dates alone, but sometimes plans change.  We went to Chili’s and enjoyed a delicious meal with a very well behaved toddler.  he spent most of her time checking things out, managed a few bites of food, and lots of cuteness.  It was fun and what I needed instead of just sitting at home tonight.  Now we are here and Kooky is in bed and I might be up until midnight.  Might!

So, I found an ex fling type thing from about 8 years ago on My Space.  He is doing well, better than I would have expected.  I messaged him, saying hi and telling him so.  He has not sent anything back.  I am not trying to rekindle obviously, but I have to wonder why.  We were both separated at the time and big messes.  He may not even remember me. It wasn’t the romance of the century, but must have been decent as he came back to me after we split up the first time.  Awwww, memories.  LOL

So I leave you all with this……………………….
