Well I guess a recap is kind of in order … last year on this night I was out of a job … living in a windowless basement with David paying a fortune in rent in NY … now we have jobs and a new condo we should be moving into soon and some money in the bank … I would say that is a bit of progress …

I have found some fabulous blogs to read … in fact I probably skew their stats cause I am always checking for something new to read …

I live close to my family again and I think that makes everyone happy … we are all getting along [i am the peace maker in my family] and we all do stuff together …

David got his passport this year which means we can jet off to Europe sometime … hahahahahahahaa … yea we would need money and vacation time … but if the opportunity arises we could go …

Kramer still loves David more than me … but I am alright with that … they look adorable spooning with each other …

===========================================

Now weird as it may sound I have been looking forward to 2003 for ages … I have known it is going to be my best year yet … so I am entering the year with that frame of mind … I am not making any New Year’s resolutions … I tend to forget those as soon as I make them … but I am going to make some changes …

on January 2, 2003 David and I are going to quit smoking … I am happy we are doing it but at the same time I can’t believe we are … I told him … “this is the last time we are quitting … it is too hard … and I can’t keep doing this” … we got $150 in Target gift cards and spent $127 of it on Target brand patches [half the price of name brand] … which is enough for the two of us to quit smoking …

I am going to see if I can start using the treadmill in the morning before work … I am not making any promisees to myself … but I need to prepare for The Urban Challenge … and it would be good for me … and I have always said I would like to get pregnant after a year without smoking so it would be good to be in better shape for that …

wow so much coming up in the new year … woohoo it is almost 2003 … I’m so excited …

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you out there …
