Bring on 2014! I'm so happy to be in a new year. The year 2013 was a rough one for me. It started with Matt's shoulder surgery followed by a completely messed up leave from Target for him, forcing him back to work too soon and an improper rehab. Then Andrew totaled his car. After that we had a couple of scares with tumors and lumps. Then Matt totaled his car. Then I had to have my gallbladder out. And that was all before April was even over. Moving on to the summer I had to replace my car battery - while on vacation, which was not in the budget! Then Matt's new car was totaled again! Ugh...enough already with the car issues!
I capped off last year with two big events I have been looking forward to for years. First my hysterectomy in October and my very first cruise in December. Believe it or not, both were my most favorite things of the year.
I did manage to lose more weight and now I am just about 80 pounds from my goal weight. I expect I'll gain some in February when the Girl Scout cookies arrive. I wish those darn cookies were sold by Jehovah's Witnesses because I have no trouble closing the door in their faces when they knock, but the sweet little girl across the street and Andrew's girlfriend's little sister are just too cute to say no too. I also got hit up at work and via an email from several folks. I did manage to say no to those folks. Here's the best thing I can say about the cookies as related to my obsession with them...I had two boxes still left from last year. Now, it could be that I just ordered too many last year, or it could be because I didn't tell Andrew I had two left. When it came time to order again I told him, and we finished those two boxes that same day.
I did, after all, have to make room for this years delivery.
