HAPPY NEW YEAR!

FINALLY! I have started a New Year with a blog already in place! (although it hasn't been updated in a while! so sorry!) I will be updating with some stories about my trip to greece and will make entries about other stuff too! This is the year that I become a serious blogger! (or a guitarist, or a yogi, or an author or ... maybe a dreamer!) With two blogs going now, I'm going to have to take this seriously! (actually, this is in direct conflict with my resolution to NOT take things so seriously!)

Hope your new year started off great! I spent it with the family at the riverhouse and ALMOST made it through to the dropping of the ball. With everyone else long asleep, I dozed off on the couch just 5 minutes short of the ringing in. Not to worry, the celebration on TV woke me up and I ran in and got a kiss from my sleeping prince charming (see, this is how my fairytale works... it's always a little backwards)...

i'm actually going to blog

It's officical. I have set up a blog. Now what? I'll post a few entries then invite some folks to visit! One of my favorite things in life has been having lunch with my friends. When I was in high school, my friend Jodi and I would sneak a lunch at Wendy's our Senior year on our way to work. And when I was a working girl, going to lunch was all about how much shopping could I get done in an hour. When I began to plant some roots and buy a house, lunch was actually a meal time where I visited with friends and got to know many of them at a whole new level. Now, as a mother...lunch is something that I pack everyday for my kids to take to school. Only occaisionally am I able to sneak in a "real" lunch. My husband and I go to lunch every year on the anniversary of the day we met (it was a lunch date), and I used to steal away to meet other moms like me with little ones to have a lunch and then more little ones came and we had less lunches. My plan is to just post some things that we might talk about over lunch.
