happy new year
How in the heck is it 2005?
That means I've been in Chicago for seven years.
Means I graduated from U. of Chicago almost five years ago.
Means that, as my lovely Anji pointed out, we're in a 'hump' year, totally on the round up to 2010.
And you know, I still have no idea how to refer to these years... the ohs, the naughts, the zeros.
Back to work tomorrow. I'm actually excited, in a way. I'm excited to get back into our routine, excited for Gus to play with his friends, excited to not spend so much money... I'm not so excited about being away from Gus, though. This has been the longest amount of time I've had with him since I went back to work (I'll refrain from feeling sorry for myself that this is, in fact, true), and I loved every minute of it .
We had a lovely new year's celebration right here in our own home. For the first time ever (we swear!) we sat Gus down in front of the TV with a Baby Beethoven movie, surrounded by pillows, and covered him with a blanket. Amazingly enough, he actually sat there the whole time, which allowed us to eat our dinner with both hands. I was so shocked, I went to get the camera to capture it... no battery! Where is the battery? In the car (doesn't that make sense?). Ok, I'll video it. Umm, also in the car. Ok, I'll take pictures with our manual camera. Umm, light sensor battery is dead. I took pictures anyway, we'll see. You'll just have to imagine the cuteness.
Grandma Shirley went home today... we miss her already! Gus is now signing ball, is obsessed with fish (he now signs fish when I open the computer since I introduced him to fish videos online... fish porn?), and continues to pick up more each day.
No resolutions per se for the year, just continued good living, cutting down the debt, eating in more, printing more, relaxing more, playing more. You know, the usual.
