Goodbye 2007 - Hello 2008!

I've been quite neglectful with my blog. But I have good excuses. Hubby and I just bought and moved into our very first house! It's been very exciting, and very stressful what with combining the move with the holidays. We were determined to be in a house by Christmas and we made it. We moved in two weeks ago, and we managed to get organized enough to have some family over for Christmas dinner. Very exciting! Of course, having people over for dinner involved my parents renting a U-Haul to bring their dining room table and chairs so everyone would have someplace to sit and eat! I will post pictures of the new house soon - since some of you have been asking.

Part 2

I put up my very first blog poll today. I'm curious about how many people plan on doing New Year's Resolutions. I've never been big on New Year's resolutions, but I might give it a try this year. There's a few things I would like to try to improve upon, so here goes:

1. Be a better housekeeper

2. Lose X amount of pounds (I'm not sharing how many - some things need to be private!) - or at least fit into my old summer clothes by this summer

3. Budget better - especially now with many more bills to pay

4. Stop procrastinating

5. Learn Spanish - put the cd's I checked out of the library to good use

6. Be a better blogger - I really want to make more of this blog since I love it so much - which means I should probably try to find a focus!

7. Learn to knit in circular so I can knit a kitty pi for when Gypsy moves in

There it is - I had more than I thought I would. Number 7 is a fairly easy one that I included so that when I finish I have some sort of sense of accomplishment!

So take my poll, and if you feel like it, share some of your resolutions in the comments section!
