quiet start to the new year...

well, i don't have a whole lot to say....maybe just some quick thoughts...
a. i have been sick to my stomach for the past 2 1/2 days...thought it was a bug but then it went away most of yesterday to return with a vengeance around 1am this morning. can't quite shake the feeling that the room is spinning. it may be a preggos thing...but, i am in my 18th week, i should not be sick anymore, right???
b.. cooked lobsters (whole) for the first time nye...and wow, were they amazing! we did a steak and lobster combo for the couples that came over for the evening. should say, if you are thinking of boiling water in stock pots better start them several hours prior to wanting the bubbles to become rapid. ended up putting the pots in the fire outback, may have made them all that much better.
c.. girls are at my mother's so i can work today...but, can't get dear husband out of the office and it is too much work trying to do what i need to on the laptop.
d..heater in the front of the house went out last night, so trying to keep it warm with the fireplace. atleast we were able to sleep on the on the warm side.
e.. cade still can not get out the door in time in the mornings...guess, i have to be a big ole' bitch and make this almost 14yr old go to bed at 9pm! what else am i to do, i already wake him up 30 minutes earlier...
f...why can i not use a garlic press??? i have to hand chop it every time.
g..the winter sure makes me want a cocktail...not a glass of wine (which i will do every now and then), not a cold beer, but a something that warms my throat.
h..annie is sleeping better, finally....i did adjust my schedule which actually now goes along with her natural schedule. down side is it is difficult for me to find the right time to leave the house for running around.
i..i love christmas cards..thank you! and a big thanks to my husband for pushing us all yesterday to get everything put away and the garage cleaned out once and for all!
j.. hooray to me for only gaining 2lb so far this pregnancy! so much better than the first one...
k..our baby blazer is still home...he even got out once and came back to the driveway so jeff could coax him in with food! while we certainly missed him, not sure my really old cats did.
l.. thinking if my husband does not give up the office i might go catch a movie...since i don't have the girls i should do something, right!

i hope to post christmas/nye pictures tonight....
