Look both ways...

2007 didn't go out with a bang. I was in bed by 8:30 with a massive migraine. Husband came to bed about midnight, while fireworks went off we exchanged sleepy "happy new year"s, kissed and went back to snoozing. We are an exciting pair I tell you.

2007 had its up and downs I suppose. For your viewing pleasure I offer the highlights in bulleted format.
  • 2007 lead me through 3 different jobs and countless interviews that went nowhere.
  • Eventually though I finally can say I'm in a career I enjoy.
  • I discovered organic living and became a hippie I suppose.
  • Husband had a mini-health crisis.
  • I rediscovered Buddhism.
  • I gave up on scrap booking because of lack of time.
  • I found out that life without DVR service is nearly unbearable.
  • I got a Wii and realized just how out of shape I really am.
  • Husband and I debated the question of children... never really coming to a conclusion.
  • I think I developed adult ADD.
  • My dad gave me his Cannon EOS 1 35MM camera and I discovered that my dogs should be models. Or I should be a dog photographer... lol
  • I finally used my slow cooker, 2 years later... *cough*
  • I realized that I can no longer handle horror movies. Too bloody. Yuck.

In this new year there are few things I hope to accomplish. I won't call them resolutions because there's a sense of defeat in that term. These aren't things I *have* to change but rather things I would *like* to change. I'm not perfect, I realize that, but right now it's more important to love myself (as is). Red's blog a few days ago (letter to my body) made me realize something profound. Something intense and something very profound, it's personal though.

I hope above all us that this will be the year for profound change. I hope this year will provide positive outcomes instead of bitter disappointment. I hope this year will help both Husband and I bridge the gap from young adults to adults without much turbulence. I hope this year makes all of the previous years worthwhile. It's going to be good though. I can feel it. I'm staying positive Li. Promise.

Home is where the heart is...


I survived the great ice storm of 2007. Barely. Three days without electricity or heat makes Karen very grumpy. But thankfully everyone survived intact. I missed my home terribly. I've never been so happy to see my messy, dog hair covered, newspaper strewn house. It's not that playing cards by candlelight at my Aunt's house or snoozing on my Grandma's couch wasn't great... it's just not home. My home may not be perfect but it's perfect to me. Sometimes I secretly like the mess because it feels more comfortable that way. Although I won't lie... checking my e-mail again was very nice.
Now it's supposed to snow tomorrow... *sigh*

Camera goodness


I guess I was becoming a little unbearable to live with. What was me whining about my lack of camera-ness all the time because last weekend Husband broke down and bought me this shiny new toy. Isn't it wonderful? I like to think so.
Hurray for Husbands!
