Okay I lied

So I can't do a picture blog because I have no pictures on this computer, but I will try to add them soon because I know I promised them. Well there is lots to update on and I really didn't even update much about some previous things so I"ll do a quick review. I apologize if anything is redundant.

Christmas

Christmas was eventful. There was no baby in Ohio for us to see, but we still opened presents and had a great visiting time. We spent our Christmas eve opening gifts to each other (Scott and I), which was a first for me. It was fun and I got many exciting gifts including a night in Chicago with tickets for Phantom of the Opera and a fancy dinner. I also got a massaging chair, some pajamas, Order of the Phoenix, and a couple of books I still have not had the time to sit down and read!! I will find some time though soon.

Christmas morning we woke up and went over to the Ferguson home in Coal City. (it feels weird not to call it my house!). We opened presents and got a lot of great things including many kitchen items we needed. I really need to be better about using my digital camera to add pics to this blog. I will be bringing to Ohio NEXT weekend to capture the some baby pictures!

Friday (Dec 28th), right after work we headed up to Chicago to catch dinner and the musical. I happened to get an email abou ta deal for 100 off stay at the hard rock hotel in Chicago! So we decided to give each other another Christmas present and stay up there for the night. The hotel was awesome and we dressed up for the dinner and Phantom. I have a lot of cute pictures of this I will post when I have access to them.

I think I already posted about New Years and since then we've had some fun hanging out with friends at various events and at our apartment.

Scott starts school TODAY. And he is there right now! I'm so proud of him and excited for him to start up classes again. I am almost jealous! But not quite. I will just remember that I've gone through an ungodly amount of school to actually get paid for the first time in many years.

Today has been busy at work. 3 hours worth of clients this morning and 3 more this afternoon. I can't wait for the end of this month because we will be going to Florida!

I should end this because its getting long and I'm falling asleep! Pictures next time, for real.

A New Year, A New Start

I've always loved New years Eve/Day. Its maybe one of my favorite holidays because you get to have tons of fun during the night by either staying in with friends or dressing up for a big event. Or somewhere in between. This year Luke Scott and I went to see Sweeney Todd. Lets just say, wasn't my favorite movie. Or even an okay movie......or even a movie I'd watch if there was nothing else to watch for the next year. But thats okay. We went to the Hollywood Boulevard movie theater and it was a really cool place! Its decorated like the Chinese theatre and they actually have dinner there. I got gross fries, which was disappointing, BUT we got a coupon for a free movie if we buy food for next time!

Then we came home and played some guitar hero, watched some SNL 90's style, and watched a very disturbing yet hilarious movie called Monkey Shines........oh goodness. Anyway, everything was fun and we had wine and butterscotch schnapps shots at midnight. I fell asleep shortly after and we slept late this morning.

So my new years resolutions:

1. Work out regularly. (always a given)
2. Make time to invest in a hobby for myself. Possibilities: knitting, scrapbooking, genealogy
3. One day a week the TV is not allowed to be turned on at all.

Thats all for now. I will update my progress. I plan to do 2 out of 3 today! I'm watching full house right now so #3 is out!

Scott is making waffles and eggs right now. And we are lounging today, doing some cleaning later, some music later. Could life be any better?

Picture blog next time!
