Siblings

Hang on.  I just decided I have to add something to today.

I’m really proud of my little brother and sister.  I think maybe I didn’t notice how proud I was of them until I didn’t have them around all the time.  Because now the annoying things about them aren’t there anymore.  (for instance, I have my own bathroom counter, so I don’t care what Brittni leaves all over hers).  So…I guess I just want to tell the world that I am super proud of both of them.

Yay for siblings!!!

Europe, here we come!

December 28, 2006 at 1:37 pm (today I)

I almost forget what that last post was about….teehee….

Anyway I hope you all had good Christmases. (What is the proper plural form of “Christmas”, anyway?) Our Christmas was pretty nice. I think the best part was being able to sleep in till after nine the last two mornings. I actually have to go to work tomorrow. Sigh…well at least it’s Friday.

Peter and I went to see a travel agent yesterday. He – meaning Peter, not the travel agent – finishes school for good this August; so we decided that in order to celebrate before he gets sucked into a permanent fulltime job and I get tied to the house by screaming babies or something, we’re going to go to EUROPE. Even if only for three weeks. We can’t afford it, but by the time we can we’ll probably be pushing fifty (at least) and to two 20-somethings like us that sounds like a long time to have never seen the Eiffel Tower.

So before this decision we knew that we’d really have to start buckling down, tightening the belt, possibly stealing here and there in order to make ends meet while Peter’s in school…now we pretty much won’t be able to eat. Oh well, food is overrated. And we probably have enough chocolate in our house now to last us until June.

So my New Years resolution is going to be this: I will learn to be frugal.

Aunt Jackie’s right, though. Frugal – such an ugly word.
