Happy 2006

This past week has been equal parts busy and lazy, which explains why I haven't blogged in a while. When I wasn't busting my butt around the house, I was plopped in front of the TV watching endless reruns of "Friends" and "Law & Order." Not such a bad trade off.

Vic & I spent New Year's Eve at home enjoying a glass of wine to ring in 2006. It was very relaxing. Especially since we had just completed re-doing the guest room. It's now got a fresh coat of paint (Apple Blossom) and is all prettied-up for Karen's visit later this week. Our next project will be the bathroom ~ we're going to change the color there, too, and make a few other changes. It should be relatively painless since it's the smallest room in the house. We'll probably start on that sometime after Karen leaves.

My New Year's resolutions for this year include getting back into shape and completing all the projects we have planned for the house. I really want to start running again, but that plan has been put on hold until after the ice thaws. The PD doesn't have a gym and Vic & I don't have a treadmill, so I have to run outside (which I don't mind at all) ~ I just don't want to bust my ass on the ice or snow (I would mind that very much). So until the weather gets better (in about 4 months!) I'm going to try to concentrate on drinking more water and not eating so much crap at work. Dispatchers are notorious for sitting for long periods of time, resulting in wide-ass syndrome. As for the house projects, we need to replace our back porch, so I'm looking forward to having a deck again for the Summer. Actually, I'm just looking forward to the Summer, with or without the deck!
