Things I'd like to do in 2010

Travel-it would be amazing to go somewhere. Last year we went to Chicago in June, and we had so much fun! It was only 4 days, but it was so great to spend time together and not worry about anything. I want to go somewhere again this year, but we've talked about it and unless things really turn around for my husband, we don't see it happening. We don't leave the state very often...maybe once a year, and it would be nice to do it more. We'd really like to go to Wisconsin Dells again! Had so much fun the last time we went. 15 inches of snow and we were running around in our bathing suits!

Finish school-I need to finish school. I start in a couple of days, and the first part will be over in March. The next part may take longer, but if I'm able, I'd like to finish (or be close to finished) by the end of this year. It is way passed time.

Save money-we have come very close to draining our savings while I've been out of work, and it would be nice to save money again. I hate living like this, waiting for each paycheck.

Spend time with family. I want to spend as much time as possible with family this year. Except my mom...don't care so much there, but I am so crazy about my hubs' family and want to spend all the time we can with them.

So that's it. A list of things to do this year.

What's yours?

Busy-ness

Sometimes it's nice to not be busy. To just sit back and let the world twirl around all by itself. To not feel like you have to help it, or fix everything that's wrong right now...

I enjoy sitting back and relaxing. I enjoy not being busy. I am willing to do the work when the work needs to be done, but I don't feel like every waking hours must be spent doing something.

It's ok to just do nothing. I wish I were doing nothing right now...

I think I'm going to go lie on my bed and do nothing. Think about nothing. Let my mind wander and see where it goes. Maybe where it goes will be my next blog ;-)

UGH... *pouting*

The New Years Eve party at church was even worse than I imagined it! It was three hours and SOOOOO boring. None of our good friends were there; it was all people we sort of know and don't hang out with. Definitely NOT the people I wanted to spend my NYE with.
Now, after not getting kissed (inappropriate for church, you know), and not seeing the ball drop, I am home again about to go to bed. 34 years and I have only missed the ball drop one other time...I was "busy" with other balls at the time. But, boy did I get kissed that year ;-) heeellllllooooooo 1994!

I hope this is not the sign of things to come in the new year...

Happy New Year!
