Happy New Year!

Well, today marks the first day of 2013.  I have decided to make my first resolution - working on my blog (finally)!  I set up this blog back in 2007 and I suppose I've either been extremely busy for the last several years or I've had a severe case of writer's block.  Anyway, I'm determined to make this year different.

I've always had a passion for writing, but it seems that since my work schedule has gotten so busy, I haven't made the time for doing many of the things I enjoy - writing included.  I also haven't made time for my music - I like to play the flute and always imagined one day I might actually compose a flute solo of my own (yes, actually write the music myself).  However, I admit, this may prove more of a dream than a reality - at least that's how I imagine that to be for the next few years.

I have had a lot of major events in my life the last couple of years.

First, I purchased my dream home - a Queen Anne Victorian that I absolutely adore.



Second, I purchased the car of my dreams - a Mini Cooper, which I have nicknamed Lil Zipper.

Third, I have had a bit of a career change and have now moved into a marketing position with our newly developed commercial real estate division in the company I've worked for since 2007.

Last, but certainly not least, I got married to the man of my dreams who I had been dating for a VERY long time - over ten years.


Needless to say, I have had much to write about, but perhaps lacked the time to do so.  I am now hoping to write about both past and present events in my life and share a little (or maybe a lot) of my personal self to the world (or whomever should choose to care)!



Last night, my husband and I went to a great local restaurant to celebrate our first New Year's Eve as husband and wife.  We enjoyed great wine, delicious food and incredible ambiance at Serevan.

Today, we're both enjoying the holiday relaxing with one another and basically taking some time to think about our lives and the direction we're headed.  Let's face it, none of us are getting any younger and the clock is ticking, right?  I am going to spend the rest of the day reflecting on what I've done in my life so far and think about all that I still wish to do.  It's scary how fast life moves.  I feel like, I don't want to miss out!

Maybe my next post will include more about all of the fun ideas I have in store for the future - to ensure a lifetime full of exciting adventures.  Some things are simple things, but those which I always say I'm going to do, but never do - like bake a red velvet cake.  Other things are things I've done in the past, but don't seem to make time to do now - like ice skate.  I'm hoping this blog will help me to motivate to do more things - like write - and share my experiences - with you!

Hey! Curious where I've been for the last 7+ years?

Oh my poor lonely blog, without a blogger to care for it....shame on me!  This is a typical Gemini, or A.D.H.D. behavior rather, that I often exhibit.  It's called toobusytocareism .  It's true!  I have just been too busy to pay any attention to...ME.  I love to write, but I also love all of the life events that I've endured over the past SEVEN YEARS if I'm doing my math correctly. I began this blog ages ago - when I was recently married and not yet a Mama.  I was still quite busy with work, lots of cats and my Mister, who we'll keep anonymous - at least for now.  We were living in that gorgeous Queen Anne style Victorian in Amenia, New York, when I had started my beloved blog.  Well, it lasted less than one full month - the blog that is - not the house, relationship, etc.!  The marriage is still going strong (at least most days) and the house to the best of my knowledge still stands as well, but we don't live in it, which brings me to my...

Dental Disaster

I must have bad luck when it comes to dental work.  I went into my dentist's office today for a simple filling.  He gave me a shot of Novocaine and kept asking me whether or not I was numb.  I kept telling him, "a little bit."  Anyway, he starts drilling and I basically jumped in my seat.  Then he asks, sounding surprised, "Are you feeling this?" while simultaneously pulling the drill out of my mouth. "Yes!" I replied as best I could with some contraption still hanging out of the left side of my mouth.  And I knew immediately when he pulled the drill out of my mouth (drill still set on high speed), he swiped my bottom lip. I'm now back at work with a not-so-small cut on my not-so-small recently fattened lip. I have a party to attend tomorrow night.  I just hope I can hide this by then.  :(  BOO HOO Now I know why it's been a while since I went to the dentist.  Somehow, it's never a good experience for me.

Day 5 With The Flu

Well, I'm still suffering with the flu.  This is now my fifth day of spending at least half of the daylight in my bed and basically the remaining hours on my couch.  My husband is down in Florida visiting his Mom, sister and niece and even though I miss him when he's gone, I must say, I am comforted knowing that he doesn't have to look at me in this condition.  It is not pretty!  Today I really need to try to take a shower.  I promise you all I have showered since I've been sick, but I admit, I haven't showered much.  It seriously takes a lot of energy to do such things when suffering from this illness.  Wish me luck! I spoke to my Mom last night.  She, too, is down in sunny Florida (at least I think they have some sun today in Naples). Anyway, the funny thing is my Mom told me to I have to be careful about my cats.  At first I didn't know what she meant, but then I realized she was worried about my getting them sick.  I explained ...
