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...

Off to Vermont

I'm feeling MUCH better since my last post, but that flu was brutal!  I was sick for almost two weeks. We're off to Vermont this morning and bringing two of our cats, L'il Munch and Molly, with us!  I'm bringing my camera and will share pictures upon my return.  I would love to post in my Blog while up in the mountains, but believe it or not, I have no cell service up there and no Internet!  Talk about going back in time... Don't worry, we do have water and electric.  I'm not feeling THAT adventurous to part with such luxuries as hot showers and light!

TGIF

Thank goodness it's Friday! This has been a long week for me.  Too much driving.  Lot's of work at the office and not enough sleep! I'm ready for the weekend. I have to admit I still haven't taken the ornaments off our Christmas tree nor removed the holiday lights from the front and side of my house (not that it's unusual for me to postpone activities such as this).  I also have a full Christmas snow village to take down and I have to pack up my beloved carolers . While I sat impatiently in my office chair today waiting for the clock to strike 5:00, I couldn't help but do a little shopping...I managed to spend quite a bit of dough just sitting here.  It can be a problem sometimes, the ease of online shopping.  Anyway, I'm looking forward to receiving my new items tomorrow (thanks Amazon Prime)! Want to see what I bought?  I thought you might! :) Mirror I've needed since my previous mirror broke about 3-4 months ago!  Yes, I have li...
