new year's mish mash

Happy New Year! - at least to the two people who read this blog. I kind of feel obligated to write something today 1) because its New Year's, and 2) because I've been gone quite a while.

But I have no idea what to write.

I could write about all the things I learned in 2008, but it's too early to think that deeply - and besides, its a holiday.

I could write about all the things I hope 2009 will bring, but Obama's already told us.

I will say though, I am quite enjoying being able to fill up the Jeep for only $30.00. Glorious.


We were visited with another round of the stomach bug while traveling over Christmas. Thankfully, nothing exited unexpectedly from my body or the redhead's, but I still felt a bit crummy.

And thanks to my parents and other family playing with the redhead 24/7 over the week we were gone, his expectations of me have become somewhat skewed. He needs a sibling...

We are traveling again this weekend to do Christmas with Mr. Baseball's family, so I'll be back in full force on Monday. Next week (or the following week) will bring some new challenges as we enter the realm known as........................................................................................Potty training (cue music - duh duh duh...).

I think he's ready - at least I've got two things going for me. He doesn't like his diaper changed, and he HATES for his clothes to be wet. We'll see...

I'm off to play with my tot, but Happy New Year to you all! What's going to be new in your '09?
