Compromise
Last year we finally had the hardwoods done. We refinished what was there and put in more. It's beautiful. It's my favorite thing we've done to the house. While the furniture was out, we repainted the dining room. We have an incredible table & china cabinet. I have my grandmother's 70 year old Fiesta on display. We even picked out new curtains & curtain rod. But that horrible brass light fixture is still there.
When we want to buy something, especially something for the house, we have agreed to agree on it. Or we don't buy anything. That's one of the reasons we have the most horrible light fixture I have ever seen in our dining room. We're going to replace it, really. BUT, we haven't been able to find one that we both like. Our compromise in this matter is...nothing. It's still there.
We'll find it - soon - or there will just be a big hole in the ceiling for Thanksgiving dinner this year.

Happy New Year!
2008. Wow!
We have a lot to do at our house this year:
1. Finish the dining room (that just means agreeing on a light fixture, which could be rough).
2. Redo our 3 year old's room.
3. Buy a new (different) car (this will probably happen in March or April).
4. Lose 24 pounds (well, that's just me).
5. I have a huge goal at work that involves the automation of a lot of my manual tasks.
There are so many more things I could list. Yes, I need to be more organized, more efficient, whatever. But those are things I am constantly trying to achieve. Not things I put on my to-do list.
I'll go into more detail, but this is my overall list. I know there could be more. But I don't want to overdo it. These are all small steps in my life. These are all attainable and measureable. And I want to be able to complete these and enjoy all the other things life gives me.
Enjoy 2008!
