hello time!

"wow. i can't believe it's 2010." probably one of the most cliche statements made these days, now that i think about it, but i don't care:) im still shocked. never thought i'd make it past....2004, much less diving full fledged into the double digits.

life has been quite lively and crazy as of late. with family, holidays, and the newness of life, i keep wanting to run and blog, and lose the thought the next second. but as i sit here letting my nails dry (cathartic for me) i'm beginning to think of everything that really happened in the last month.

i remember feeling so shocked at how used to being alone i had become. and then a sweet family of four took over the basement, and life was lively. but i didn't realize the life that was missing until i got to play "dangerous sort of spikey dinosaurs" with the imagination of a 4 and 2 year old, followed by a tea party. i feel like i have gotten back in touch with a life inside of me, that i have not seen in quite some time...for sure not since before september. and i'm thankful. to think of the house being empty once again, it makes me sad, and although i have new distractions for 2010, i am still sad that the basement will be put to rest for some time. i look forward to it livening up in june/july...hurry! :)
and as my glee volume 2 soundtrack plays, i am reminded of my thankfulness for the invention of the dvd followed by putting tv shows on dvd. glee sans commercials is just glorious. and getting the skeptical hooked is just as fantastic :) i'd also like april 13 to hurry.

but i am looking forward to what shall fill my time between now, april 13, and then june/july. for once i feel hopeful about the year. no evidence would be found from my new years eve experience. my year better not end up anywhere near what my nye ended up looking like. and surely. it won't. afterall. it can only go up from here right? well... i sure hope so! cheers to a new year. new beginnings, new hopes, new dreams, new opportunities. i am thankful for new-ness.

*pictures are coming. i got a camera for christmas and refuse to slack in the pictures from now on...but my nails are still wet, so i won't be digging my camera out of my purse, or the cord from the pile of christmas stuff, so they will come at a later time*
