2007 - Boy Were You Awesome!

Time: 2:00pm

Alright boys and girls - another year has (almost) come and gone and it's time for my look back at 2007.

This has definitely been the biggest and happiest year of my life :D I have absolutely nothing bad to say about 2007. I became a home owner (and now I'm poor - ok I guess that's the bad part of 2007 LoL) and I got to see the other side of the world in a different hemisphere (New Zealand) - couldn't tell whether the water drained clockwise or counter-clockwise... it drained so fast! I also did something I said I would never do - skydive!

But the biggest thing by far that happened this year is that I finally married the love of my life, Jimmy :D Nothing can be sweeter than that :D

This year I learned that there is a happily ever after, sometimes bumming at home is a good thing, driving on the other side of the road can be fun, and that I never want to be the type that puts work before family.

Saying goodbye to 2007 is a little sad, but I'm definitely looking forward to 2008. Cheers to 2007, a fabulous year indeed! :)

Hello, Mr. Snow!

Mood: Hungry (I'm eating cereal!)

Sunday night, we experienced a wicked snowstorm that left a boatload of snow everywhere. Jimmy must have went out to shovel 4 times, and my rental car got stuck in the snow b/c the snowplow didn't plow my street (I'm not too happy about that).

As I mentioned before, I had a rental car this weekend. Last week I was in Detroit from Sunday night until Friday night, so I got to keep the rental car for 2 whole weekends. That means my car was left at my work parking lot. Anyway, because there was a huge snowstorm, my car got burried in snow.. and the snowplow came to clear the parking lot and it plowed around my car, so my car was blocked in with piles of snow.

This is what it looked like when I came to work Monday morning:

Took me 20 minutes clean it off and dig it out with my tiny snow shovel. LoL

Ah.. finally! A Sunday where I'm not packing to go down to Detroit! I get to stay here all week! And then the following week I get my Christmas break from work.. so all in all I'll get 3 whole weeks at home! I'm absolutely thrilled!

Jimmy and I got a Christmas tree for our new home :) Here it is in all it's glory... all 3ft of it :D

My Breaking Point

Time: 11:17pm
Mood: Sad...
Song of the moment: Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin

I experienced a breaking point last friday about this whole travelling business. In the morning, I was told I was to stay in Detroit until Friday - which was ok because we have a deadline to meet. But later that afternoon I get a call from my coworker, asking if I could come in Sunday night, so I can be at the design house bright and early to support our designers. I really have no excuse to say no - so I agreed. I called Jimmy right after to tell him, and just the disappointment in his voice when I told him I was going to be gone for 5 nights really hit me hard. I got really really upset.

We've spent most of our marriage apart. This really truely sucks. I feel like I'm sad all the time because I'm always away from home. Not only do I not get to see my hubby, I'm usually too tired to even go out to see friends. I havn't gone out to see a movie in 4 months! And usually when I do have time to go out, I just want to stay home. I don't think my friends understand that I need time to be home because I'm never home.

*sigh*. I'm sad.....
