instead of resolutions

Sure, there are things I need to work on. Many of them are the same things I've needed to work on for years. And maybe I'll focus on some of them this year but to change things up a bit I think I'm going to focus on some Life List items. Like maybe these:

  • Go to at least one new ballpark.
  • And at least one new state.
  • Maybe work on the beginnings of having that first child.
  • Wouldn't hurt to have that 6-figure job I enjoy but no promises there...
  • If we both decide and can find one (or two) we like--own a dog (or two).
  • Continue the mac and cheese recipe hunt.
  • And maybe throw in the coconut cream pie while I'm at it.
  • Run again.
  • Take dance lessons with The Hubby.

I think that will keep me busy... How 'bout you? Any goals for 2010?

Also? I'd like to add to the 2010 list: "Blog about the wedding." Look out.

I would recommend not having a new baby AND a new dog at the same time. Just sayin'....

But WORKING on having a baby is perfectly acceptable combined with getting a new dog. ;)

Nah, we'd probably have a year or so lead time with the dog.

I am intrigued by your mac-n-cheese recipe hunt. Keep us updated with that! (oh, and the important stuff too). But oh, mac-n-cheese...how I love thee.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine
