Well here we are, beginning another new year. New Year's Eve/Day was nice - Morgan worked yesterday and Lola and I had a good day, just doing "stuff" and picked up Maggie from the airport. For last night's festivities, we ventured out early to John's party at Arlington Towers, noshed a bit, took in the amazing view, then came home to enjoy a quite evening among friends here. We were joined by Paige, David, and Ryan, and we played a game, had a few drinks, and stepped outside to catch glimpses of fireworks downtown. We launched 2007 right with a small brunch, done well by Morgan with quiche, hash brown casserole, fruit salad, and more. A walk to the park on a very mild day, a nearly new baby swing courtesy of freecycle, a bit of TV, and I can only say, I hope the rest of 2007 is as agreeable as today. The only flaw was a spilled latte.
Word has it that Nathan and Sarah welcomed baby #3 into the world today. A big boy ready to take on the world. I don't think I know of any other January 1 babies. Welcome, baby Tobey!
I also want to go on record: I don't usually bother with resolutions, and pondering the concept this afternoon, my "resolutions" read more like a to-do list than anything (get the van all fixed, get a new tattoo, replace the laptop, remodel the bathroom). But, there's something I've been trying to do for the last few weeks, and meaning to get to for months. Write our will(s). Life can take unexpected twists and turns without warning, and with two young ones, I want to be sure everything goes the way we would want if the worst should occur. A living will too. So that's the one thing I want to be sure to do this year. This month even. You should too, you just never know.
So that's that. Sorry to end on a somber note. Another page on the calendar, time to get used to writing a "7" instead of a "6". May 2007 bring you happiness and prosperity.
