A Quiet New Year!

We won't be going next door to our neighbors tonight after all - they've just let us know that they have to cancel plans for a get together tonight because their 10 year old has flu. Considering none of us have had flu shots, we'd be wise to stay away for a while! So, looks like a quiet night at home for the three of us. Kristen is pretty bummed because she was looking forward to a 'party' at Connor's house.

It's pretty warm out today and Kristen's out there now playing with Connor and Emily. I told her to make the most of playing out today because a cold front is coming through tomorrow. It will drop to 20 degrees tonight and won't be any higher than 50 tomorrow.

I ran out to Target this morning - I'm having a problem with the new 'mono' lenses I bought. I finally ordered the ones we'd decided on but when I tried a new pair in over the weekend, they didn't work as well as the trial pair I'd been using? I was concerned they had ordered the wrong prescription for me, so I called in to their optical dept today and asked about it. The optometrist wasn't in but the girl made a note of my problem/concern and will ask the Dr about it. I saw the details for the original lenses he'd let me try and they are not the same 'numbers' as the lenses I now have so I'm convinced they ordered the wrong ones! Hopefully I'll get that resolved soon.

While I was there I bought myself some Olay Regenerist eye derma-pods!
And some Crest Teeth Whitening strips. As I said before 2008 is the year I start to really look after ME! I'll start to eat better and exercise more too and will update my 'fit blog' a bit more but that will still be a few days away. I need to declutter the kitchen of all the sweets and stuff from Christmas!

Not much else going on today. I'm gonna sit and do some knitting while Kristen is playing. Jason is working in his home office today.

Here's wishing you all a safe and happy New Year's Eve! See you in 2008!

Hi Denise,
Too bad that your neighbor's kid is sick and there will not be a party. Maybe later on you can all get together on another day (I live in hope).
Happy 2008! {Hugs}

Hi sweets,
Joining you in thanking God for the many blessings of 2007, healing for the tough times, and may God pour upon you all the blessings he has to give in 2008. Warm summer hugs, and with love across the miles. xx

Happy english 2008! We rang in the new year at 7pm our time!!!! Just a quiet one for us too and that's fine by me. We made a nice dinner together tonight and then sat and watched a movie with the kids. Shaun and I will no doubt watch more tv now the kids are in bed and ring in the new year with a drink or two ;-)

Happy 2008 to you all!

Happy New Year, Denise! Sorry the plans were cancelled but you don't want to start 2008 with the flu! The Rapid Care place sounds great and I'm glad Kristen got some antibiotics to help. Just had lots of earachs when he was little and we always had the pink medicine. :) Good idea to get some beauty products to treat yourself. (((Hugz)))
