2003 is here but let's talk about the last moments of/2002 before.
In the past year I've had mixed emotions about someone who was in my past. I never got over him, sort of my lost love, I like to call it. I decided that I just needed to leave him behind and simply wrote to him the night before 2003! I told him everything, well within 600 words! LOL! I poured my heart out, told him about dh leaving us twice in the past few months, about Lucas going to the hospital, how both kids were diagnosed with asthma, my new love for knitting! LOL! Anyway, it felt good to just write it out and send my new year's wishes to him also. Ok, that done, we watched the ball go down and illuminate the big/2003 sign! Woohoo! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!
Both kids were up and they didn't get why we all got up to kiss and hug! LOL! Then we went to sleep. Next morning I made cinnamon buns, soooooo good! :) As they cook the smell fills up the whole house and then we rush to each eat one, then both kids wanted another one. ACK! Soon enough we were already out of buns! ;)
As per my usual morning routine. I sit down, coffee in hand in front of my computer to check emails. Well the usual TONS of emails from every knitting list I am on but the 1st title in my inbox is not one of those usually email. HE wrote back! I am shocked and surprised that he replied at 2AM on New year's day! LOL! Wouldn't he be partying all night? Well, his reply touched me, alot. I almost felt like our "relatioship" had just shifted into a new gear. I believe I can now consider him a friend! WOW! I had never done that before, he was always on the back of my mind as someone I regret not still being with. It was good, felt good and he had just the right words to make me smile. :) I don't know if I will contact him again but at least I finally got the closer I needed to move on with my life!
Well that started the new year well! ;) On the 1st we were pretty mellow, stayed inside all day. There was ice everyone outside and no salt on the sidewalks. Only the middle of the streets were walkable and well, when they are cars speeding pass you it kinda makes you shake in your boots! Then if you're shakin' on ice you slip and slide! LOL!
Yesterday though we went for lunch at one of my mom's friends! She is the greatest, if she were just a tad younger, I'd want to beher best friend! LOL! She's done almost everything I've dreamed of doing and she just loves the kids so much. It's a real treat to see her each time. :) Surprisingly enough her neighborhood was ice free. Funny how in the same city, you can have one area where there's no way to walk on the sidewalks and then another area that's bare of any ice! We spent the afternoon hanging around just watching a movie for the kids which was Casper with Christina Ricci. Both kids then fell asleep for their nap! Gotta say that was great, I never expected them to want to nap there. Then she suggested that we watch an adult movie (NOT XXX, just with no cartoon in it!) ;-) so we watched The Thomas Crown Affair with Mister Pierce Brosnan, that was nice too! ;) yummy even! LOL! The kids woke up by the end of the movie and then Zoe started to be hungry. So Louou suggested we stay for supper! WHAT!?!? We didn't want to impose ourselves, we know she doesn't have alot of money and well we felt awkward. We did stay though and enjoyed a very spicy spaghetti! :)
Now this morning, dh called the clinic 'cause we wanted to get the kids checked out about their asthma, well it's closed. Right now I'm on the phone with an AOL rep. to cancel my "bring-you-own-access" account with them. Well if you know anything about AOL, you know they won't just leave their customers cancel their accounts! LOL! So we just got 6 months of free service! Woohoo! Can't argue with free! ;) We will still need to keep our main internet provider but it'll be nice to have AOL for free. :)
So today, what will we do? Yesterday at Loulou's I finished Zoe's sock! woohoo! :) All that movie watcing and knitting sure was for something! I'm so happy I brought my knitting, it fits right in my winter coat pocket! :)
I heard about a neat yarn store near me, that sounds promising! Also I still need to get my magazines that my mom is buying me! :) Oh wow, it's starting to look like a busy day for me! LOL! I need to learn the kitchener stitch today and then start on Zoe's 2nd sock! It always walks better with a matcihng pair o'socks! lol!
hugs to all! :)
