finally posting again

This past year was crazy nuts :) HAPPY 2007 TO EVERYONE!!!!! I have some good some bad changes coming. 1- I'm on vacation this week for my January get rid of stuff round. I will be listing tons of stuff on trash to treasure and my area freecycle site for pickup. 2- I turned 38 while I was away...I don't want to grow up yet. 3- I was forced back onto the super stinky 5-9PM shift for the winter. The last one is really depressing me. This means no dinners with my hubby, no cooking class, no church on Wednesday night or dinner at our local dive on Friday nights. Now that I'm older and waited so darn long for my present perfect life (Yes I do feel that way) I am having a really hard time giving up all the things I love so much right now. If I ask for Wednesday nights off I will work every Saturday from 5-9, but spend more time with Dave on Saturday afternoon. I'm really hoping my company offers a package in the spring to get rid of employees. I would look and leave right now, but I'd kick myself if I missed the offer, possibly in May. I am telling myself it's only a couple of months and I can deal with it. On the upside, after 6 years I finally got 3 weeks vacation. Maybe I can just stay on vacation till May! Okay, I am done my whining. On another positive note I should get more computer stuff done as well as the second podcast. I am now officially listed on itunes!!! check it out here: WORKING4PEACE PODCAST. How cool is that. Okay one more positive note..or two. I had the best birthday ever..a great dinner with my mommy and hubby..aweseome goodies from my mommy in law and an electric fireplace from my husband! Our room is the last in line for heating in the townhouse and gets COLD. It's really cool, even has fake flames. I LOVE IT. Before heading upstairs I finished painting my latest project and fixed my drape rod..which for the umpteenth time fell out of the drywall..argh. Here's a pic of the project I just finished and the fireplace: (pic to follow from flickr..blogger doesn't want to cooperate today). Anyway I hope everyone..esp you Matt has a great new year..and thanks so much for the Wish..I just got it today :)
