New Year

Hello 2011!

Boy, 2010 was quite the year. Lots of things happend:

* I had a newborn and a one year old all in the same year (exhausting)

* I graduated from college

* Began making student loan payments

* Got a new car

* Got several jobs

* Experienced teething

And probably many more things that I cannot remember at this moment.

Here are some great things that will be happening in 2011:

* Brother is coming home from Sveden! (or Sweden, depending where you live)

* Losing many, many pounds (at least 60 to be exact)

* Avery will be 2!

* Having more money than I know what to do with

Okay, okay, that last one is probably not going to happen. But a girl can dream, can't she??

About the losing weight thing- I got a gym membership and it's only valid for one year. That means I only have one year to lose the weight. And you're thinking "only one year? One year is a long time..." And I'm saying to you, "yes, yes it is. But consider this: Most people pay for month-to-month gym memberships. They're not really sure when their last month at the gym will be, so it's like...yeah, I'll lose weight, but I have all the time in the world. BUT! If you only have a one year gym membership YOU ONLY HAVE ONE YEAR. You had better get your butt in gear and make this year count!

I guess after one year you could renew your gym membership for another year...or cancel your membership and just jog around the block... BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

One year. Let's do this. 60lbs going bye-bye. And just so you know, Avery LOVES the kids club. Which makes it all the better.

Moving on.

Avery has six teeth! Finally those two little stubborn bottom teeth poked through her gums and we are no longer experiencing the agony of teeth. That is, until the next ones come in.

I have jobs out the wahzoo. Jobs are oozing out of my ears and onto my dinner plate....ew. sorry.

I have more jobs than I know what to do with and my schedule is crazy busy. I even quit one job and I still am more busy than when I had the job! Most of the time I'm doing a babysitting gig but I also have one teaching gig, although I'm interviewing for another teaching job this week and I think I have a pretty good chance at getting it. Add going to the gym several times a week and I basically have no time left. The reason I keep adding on the jobs is because I need money. Duh. Student loans, baby needs, cell phone bills, etc., etc. are always knocking on my door. My mother thinks I'm unreliable because I'm always changing my plans with her due to taking on another job at the last minute. Sorry, mom.

So, I'm ready for this year. It is going to be good. And ya know, I'm not going to just stand back and hope that it will be good. I'm going to make it good.

KAPOW!
